Glendale AI Builders — Meeting #1
Mon, Nov 2, 3:00 AM**Real talk:** as I'm posting this, this group has exactly one member — and it's me. Which means one of two things: either I'm the only person in Glendale building with Claude, shipping full-stack apps, and nerding out over prompts... or you all exist and just haven't found this group yet. I'm betting on option two. Between now and November 1st, I'm hoping a few more builders, developers, and tinkerers stumble onto this page and hit Join. **What Meeting #1 looks like:** ☕ **Coffee & Intros** — Relaxed, low-pressure hangout with local devs building with AI. No panels, no PowerPoints, no forced networking. 🔍 **Live Project Review: [EZZlisting.com](https://ezzlisting.com)** — I'll pull up a directory app I built end-to-end with Claude. We'll poke around, roast the UX, and get honest about what works and what breaks when you're building real apps with LLMs. 💻 **Show Your Work** — Bring your laptop. Show off what you're building with Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf — or just come lurk and steal tips. Both are valid. Whether you've been shipping code for a decade or wrote your first prompt last week, you're welcome here. **RSVP so I'm not sitting alone with two coffees.** ☕☕
