ACT Berlin #03 (AI Coworking Tuesday)
ACT Berlin #03 (AI Coworking Tuesday)
A working day for people building with AI in Berlin.
Bring your laptop. Ship something. Talk to people who get it.
// THE RULES
We keep it high-signal. No sales pitches. This is a space for those who actually build and deploy.
// THE FORMAT
Deep Work: Focus on your own projects in a curated environment.
Expert Deep-Dive: One high-level technical session per event to level up your stack.
Curated Networking: Connect with like-minded peers over lunch.
// VIBE-CODED MATCHMAKING
To ensure the highest quality of connections, we’re premiering our vibe-coded matchmaking app. No more awkward small talk, get matched with the exact people who can help you ship faster.

When the Vibes Run Out: Engineering Agentic Software that Actually Ships
18:00 — Wrap
Workshop Description:
Vibe coding is great for prototyping. It’s the fastest way to feel out an idea. But the problem starts when you call that prototype "production-ready."
The exact moment real users, real data, and real money show up, the vibes run out. You are left with bugs, a ball of mud, and the quiet horror of realizing the AI didn't actually build what you asked for.
As Matt Pocock recently framed it in his skills repo: the goal was never just to vibe. The goal is to build like real engineers who actually ship stable software—only now, we are doing it with agents.
This talk is about the discipline it takes to get from a raw prototype to a real product. We will look at three classic engineering concepts and retrofit them onto agentic coding:
Align before you write code: Using grilling sessions and a shared language your agent literally cannot misread.
Vertical slicing: Breaking work into micro-tickets an agent can actually finish without losing its mind.
Tight feedback loops: Wrapping every change in types, tests, and automated reviews using tools like CodeRabbit.
Along the way, we’ll look at how skills become reusable engineering playbooks, and why project management tools like Linear are quietly becoming the real interface between humans and AI agents.
Bonus: How to stay awake while your agents are doing the heavy lifting.
Bring your worst agent horror story—or come ready to share your own setup.
Who it's for Founders, engineers, researchers actively shipping with AI. Not for spectators, not for tourists.
Hosted at w3.hub, 3rd Floor.
