Title: The Death of Flow? How AI Changed Programming — and How to Get Joy Back
Abstract: AI is changing how we code — we prompt more, type less, and review instead of create. Productivity may be up, but many developers feel the loss of flow, reduced ownership, and a sense that the craft is slipping away. What if we're looking for joy in the wrong place? This talk explores how AI reshapes the experience of programming. We'll revisit what made it fulfilling — solving problems, reducing complexity, exercising judgment — and build a new mental model where clarity and taste matter more than typing. AI changed the craft's shape, not its soul.

Frontier Fellowship Kickoff: Building a Global TechBio Startup from Budapest This is the first of three open events kicking off Frontier Fellowship, a new program by Startup Hungary for potential deep tech founders, university spin-outs, and researchers exploring what it takes to build a venture-scale company. We can only host 60 people, so this isn't first-come-first-served: register below, and we'll follow up to confirm your spot based on fit — please only register if you're genuinely planning to attend. The closed fellowship cohort is a separate thing: it starts in January 2027 and has its own selective application process (more info and application: https://frontier.startuphungary.io/ ). This first event is all about founder paths. Turbine is the hottest techbio startup in Hungary right now — and its founders came from completely different fields before building it together. We want to make the startup founder path more visible, and show that it's a valid, realistic career path — open to anyone willing to try. Best for: students, engineers, researchers, and anyone with a scientific / technical background or interest in deep tech, curious about startups — even if you're not sure yet whether it's for you. Panel Discussion: One Technology, Different Founder Paths Szabolcs Nagy (CEO, Turbine) Daniel Veres (CSO, Turbine) Kristof Szalay (CTO, Turbine) Ramzi Rizk (General Partner, Work In Progress Capital & Founder, Project Escape Velocity) Schedule 17:30–18:00 Registration 18:00–18:15 Opening + fellowship program introduction 18:15–19:15 Panel discussion 19:30-20:15 Expert table sessions 20:15–21:30 Drinks, pizza, networking 🍕 This event is part of the Frontier Fellowship program, implemented with the support of the Ministry of Science and Technology of Hungary from the National Research, Development and Innovation Fund.

Join us for the first Applied AI Budapest meetup, where we’ll explore real-world AI applications that work in practice and create value in the business world. 🍕🍺 Free pizza and beer will be available during the event, including non-alcoholic beer for drivers and anyone who prefers an alcohol-free option. Throughout the evening, several speakers will share practical examples, real-world experiences, and AI solutions that can help you work more efficiently. There will be breaks between the presentations, giving attendees plenty of opportunities to network, exchange ideas, and discuss the topics with one another. The event will be held in either English or Hungarian, depending on the language preferences of registered attendees.
