Join us fo**r "404 Movie Not Found" Movie Night**—a fun, virtual hangout where we watch a tech movie together on Teleparty and roast it in real time. Think of it as a mix of movie night + group chat chaos.

This month’s pick\*\*: [Hackers](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/hackers) (1995)\*\*.
We’re celebrating the 30th anniversary of Hackers starring Angelina Jolie, Jonny Lee Miller, and Matthew Lillard, Hackers follows a ragtag group of teenage cyberpunks who uncover a corporate conspiracy while rollerblading, hacking the Gibson, and serving up some seriously 90’s vibes. Neon fashion, floppy disks, and the most unrealistic hacking sequences ever—what’s not to love?

**🖥️ How it works:**

* We’ll all watch together using Teleparty
* You’ll need to rent/buy the movie on Prime Video
* We’ll share the Teleparty link right before the movie in three places: the comments section on Meetup, via Meetup email, and in our Discord
* Jump into the chat during the movie—drop your jokes, hot takes, and best roasts as we go.

**👾 Special Hosts:** **[Jason Lengstorf](https://bsky.app/profile/jason.energy)**[ ](https://bsky.app/profile/jason.energy)& **[Marisa Morby](https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:donui3kbxb5q7psfph7jzzug)** will be steering the chaos, keeping the vibes high, and maybe dropping some actual tech knowledge between the laughs.

So grab your popcorn (and maybe a Mountain Dew for authenticity), fire up Teleparty, and let’s hack the planet—together.

Everyone participating in the REFACTR.TECH conference, events and Discord/Slack community—including, but not limited to attendees, speakers, sponsors and volunteers at REFACTR.TECH, are required to agree to the following code of conduct. Organizers will enforce this code throughout the event.

🎬 404 Movie Not Found: Hackers

Online event

*Like a book club, but for code.*

**Dates: [September 17th](https://www.meetup.com/refactr-tech/events/310737011/?eventOrigin=group_events_list), [October 15th](https://www.meetup.com/refactr-tech/events/310737017/?eventOrigin=group_events_list) , [November 12th](https://www.meetup.com/refactr-tech/events/310737028/?eventOrigin=group_events_list)**

Join us as we guide you through reading a surprise code excerpt and learn from each other how to better read unfamiliar code. As more and more code is generated due to AI, our ability to read code is increasingly important but a skill we rarely practice. At this meetup we will guide you through a series of prompts and activities to explore and discuss a small piece of code. This meeting is language agnostic - whether you know the language or it’s new to you, your perspective matters. Fresh eyes often spot what experts overlook.

This meetup is equally for those new to development as well as seasoned professionals - we can all get better at reading code (and understanding how others approach code so we can be better mentors and teammates). If you know what a variable is, this is for you!
