Agentic Coding Meetup #6

Agentic Coding Meetup #6 — hosted by XING at their new Baumwall office.
Hamburg's meetup for people who build with AI, not just talk about it. Practitioners sharing real workflows, live demos, and honest lessons — including the experiments that didn't work.
This edition: two longer talks plus an open lightning-talk session. Lightning talks are 5 minutes, hard cap — just show what you're working on. Rough is welcome, demos over slides, no pitches. We're here for inspiration.
When: Tuesday, 7 July 2026 · 18:00–22:00
Where: XING (New Work SE), Baumwall 7, 20459 Hamburg

Talk #1 — When Agents Write the Code, Review Becomes the Bottleneck
A 20-person agency went all-in on agentic engineering and watched its review queue eat an entire sprint. Here's what actually broke — and the four numbers we now track to know whether it's working.
Malte Burkert co-founded WAPP, a 19-person agency in Bielefeld and Dortmund, and CAST ME, a casting platform with ~20,000 users. For the last 18 months he's been rebuilding how his team ships software around agentic engineering — and he's here to tell the honest version. → linkedin.com/in/malte-burkert · wapp.gmbh
Talk #2 — Agentic Coding Ate Our IT Department
Two non-developers built a 116K-line production system with AI coding agents — then it scaled, and stopped being a coding story. The honest sequel from AutoFleetControl: how the IT department became a Product Engineering org, how roles and ownership changed, and what breaks when agentic coding meets legacy at scale.

Lightning talks confirmed so far
Thies Arntzen on Sandcastle — self-hosted, isolated Docker sandboxes (SSH + a full Docker daemon inside) for letting coding agents run loose safely. → github.com/thieso2/sandcastle
Deniz Okcu on haze — a minimal terminal coding agent: bring your own LLM, hand it a few sharp tools, then get out of the way (custom Markdown "skills" invoked as slash commands). → denizokcu.github.io/haze
Sebastian Korfmann on "I Built a Browser Engine So a Yeti Could Rap" — a from-scratch WASM browser engine, a rapping Yeti, and the long agent loops that produced both, colliding live on stage. → jot.skorfmann.com/prism-renderer · helmut.rocks
Want a lightning slot? Bring a 5-minute demo of what you're building — ping us at hello@agentic.hamburg.
Hosted by Sebastian Korfmann, Stefan Munz & Sebastian Reimann.
