PyHawaii October Meeting

PyHawaii will be having a meeting at the end of October . The first talk will be by Jason Axelson and will cover using git worktrees with with elixir/phoenix.

# A Dev Environment for Every Branch

What if every branch had its own server, its own database, and its own HTTPS URL — ready the moment you created it? That's what git worktrees make possible, but `git worktree add` is not enough, you also need to build a workflow around it.
In this talk, I'll show how I built a workflow that makes worktrees practical for Phoenix apps: copying `_build` artifacts with copy-on-write, cloning the Postgres database, automatically assigning ports so your servers never collide, and giving every branch its own URL — like `https://my-feature.local` (look Ma, no port!). I'll also show how I used LLMs to build the script itself, and how you can prompt your way to a version that fits your personal workflow.

The second talk will be the potentially be the start of a series going from zero to hero in agentic design and implementation. We'll going through a set of AI engineer notebooks on setting up, running, and doing evals and red teaming on an agent.

We'll also have a part 0 of the workshop series here . This is part of a series that'll take people from 0 to doing agentic evals and ML design and implementation. Basically gaining agentic skills and basic FDE skills.

Finally, we'll have a demo/discussion of running agentic workflows in isolated sandboxes. This will be a group discussion and may have a repo with examples to kickstart the discussion.
