📅 Thu, August 7, 2025 – Thursday Gathering #238: BEHIND THE CODE

[Best for Developers, Tech Enthusiasts & AI Strategists] [FREE]

This week’s Thursday Gathering #238 pulls back the curtain on the craft of coding — celebrating the minds and methods behind the software that powers our world. Titled “Behind the Code,” this edition is co-created with five of Warsaw’s most active developer groups: PyWaw, PLRUG, Golang Warsaw, WarsawJS, and Cloud Native Warsaw, uniting the city’s open-source DNA and backend brilliance in one electrifying evening.

Expect five parallel tracks, each dedicated to a different programming language or discipline: Python, Ruby, Go, JavaScript, and cloud-native tools. Each room will feature live demos, deep-dive tech talks, interactive workshops, and community-driven conversations. Whether you’re a full-stack engineer, devops wizard, data scientist, or just curious how things really work under the hood — this event is your playground.

Among the evening’s standout sessions:

• A full-blown WarsawJS JAM — with developers jamming out JavaScript solutions together

• A technical breakdown on “Fuzzy-set-arythmetics” for the mathematically inclined

• “Supercharge Kubernetes: Tools You Need Now” – actionable tips for taming your cloud stack

• VC Speed Dating with Movens Capital, giving founders a chance to connect with early-stage investors

• Strategic AI startup mentoring during Office Hours on building and scaling AI ventures

• “Software 3.0 i Agenci AI” — a provocative vision of what programming might look like in the age of autonomous AI agents

• Sessions on Go concurrency testing, contextvars in Python, and MCP for legacy web apps

• Plus: personal insights from “From Laid Off to In-Demand”, an honest talk on navigating career turbulence in tech

Not a developer? No problem. As always, the Venture Café format includes plenty of networking zones, hands-on brainstorming corners, and non-coding sessions designed for the tech-curious — from entrepreneurs and product managers to designers and investors. Whether you’re hiring your next engineer, raising a round, or looking to shift into tech, this is a night for cross-pollination and collaboration.

🎯 The goal: celebrate the craft of software, empower Poland’s dev communities, and create unexpected collisions that fuel innovation.

Location: Venture Café Warsaw at CIC, Chmielna 73, 00-801 Warsaw
