Real-time planning in Rust: SolverForge & SERIO
**Ciao Milanese Ferrists!** After our kick-off, it’s time to dive into high-performance optimization and AI.
🙏 **Special Thanks:** Huge shout-out to the team at [TrueLayer](https://www.linkedin.com/company/truelayer/) for hosting us in their amazing space and supporting the local Rust ecosystem!

WPMI Giugno | WordPress 7 ed i pericoli del suo nuovo client AI
Ciao! Dopo WordCamp Torino e WordCamp Europe abbiamo fatto del nostro meglio per organizzare il nostro incontro, anche se con un po' di ritardo.
L'appuntamento di giugno è per **martedì 16 alle 19**, **sempre al Politecnico di Milano ma in una nuova sede:**
**Via Edoardo Bassini, 6 / Edificio 41**
**Link Google Maps:**
https://maps.app.goo.gl/WxQp1JNsqSXWRDRQ8
Ed ecco il talk di questo mese:
**WordPress 7.0 ed il suo nuovo client AI**
I pericoli del nuovo Client AI di WordPress:
"da grandi poteri derivano grandi responsabilità", ma qui non tutti sembrano rendersene conto.
La decisione su quale modello usare e quale tetto di token imporre è delegata interamente al plugin, via codice, senza alcun limite globale lato amministratore. Tradotto: un plugin scritto con leggerezza, che non limita i token in uscita o preferisce di default un modello costoso, può bruciare cifre importanti a tua insaputa, e te ne accorgi solo leggendo la fattura.
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
Saremo in diretta streaming
Non puoi partecipare di persona? Noi non ti giudicheremo! :) Se vuoi, puoi seguirci anche in diretta streaming su YouTube. Il link sarà visibile solo una volta che avrai fatto la tua iscrizione all'evento. Durante la diretta, se vorrai, potrai intervenire anche tu usando una webcam e un microfono per dire la tua: basterà usare il link che verrà fornito via chat.
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
In breve, ecco come sarà organizzata la serata:
19:00 Benvenuto + networking
19:20 Panel (di circa 50 minuti)
20:10 Domande e risposte
20:30 Fine; Chi vuole può continuare il networking in un bar o pizzeria vicino al luogo dell’evento. All’inizio dell’incontro faremo il conteggio per prenotare: per non creare disguidi conferma la presenza solo se sei sicuro di venire.
Networking significa che ci sarà tempo per chiacchierare con chi partecipa e fare amicizia. Potresti trovare una persona interessante, un futuro cliente, un futuro fornitore o un nuovo partner di lavoro, chi può dirlo?
Non riesci a venire, o devi dare la tua disdetta? Nessun rancore, sarà per la prossima. Ti chiediamo solo di farci sapere 24 ore prima così - liberiamo il tuo posto per altre persone.
Vuoi essere speaker? Beh, nulla di più facile: Compila il modulo [cliccando qui](https://wpmilano.org/speaker-form/). Ti risponderemo per fornirti tutti i dettagli.
Ci vediamo lì! 😉

## What we’re about
Buongiorno a tutti. Sono proprietario di un bar e dispongo di un tavolo da biliardo semi-professionale. Sto creando un gruppo WhatsApp di giocatori amatoriali di biliardo americano pool/carambola, per la maggior parte debuttanti. Cerco persone disposte a unirsi al gruppo per giocare e divertirsi nel tempo libero, il pomeriggio oppure la sera in ogni giorno. Per stimolare l'impegno di ogni giocatore, abbiamo pattuito che il vincitore di ogni "mini-torneo" organizzato nei vari giorni giochi gratis e non paghi la tariffa di tempo per il periodo di gioco (un'ora di gioco costa 10€, ma viene di volta in volta frazionata in base al periodo di gioco effettivo). Il locale si trova in zona nord di Milano, stazione Greco-Pirelli, università Bicocca. Chiunque dovesse essere davvero interessato a partecipare e unirsi al mio gruppo, non esiti a contattarmi. Cerco persone serie e disposte solamente a divertirsi, senza puntare mazzette grazie mille.

🕡 Doors open: 19:00
🕖 Talk start: 19:15
🧠 Di cosa parleremo
* Come ho adattato Claude Code al mio modo di lavorare
*Custom commands, skills e gli strumenti CLI che ormai considero indispensabili.*
* Le cose che mi hanno fatto fare il salto di qualità

Clay & Glow — Earrings + Resin Jewelry Dish Workshop 19.06
A little time for you, your hands, and people who get your vibe.
In this hands-on workshop, you’ll design and create your own pair of polymer clay earrings — playful, bold, or minimal, totally your call — and craft a resin jewelry dish for your nightstand, the perfect home for your everyday pieces.
No experience needed. Just show up, slow down, and let your creativity do its thing.
This is more than a workshop — it’s a space to meet like-minded women, share a relaxed moment, and reconnect with your creative side (the one that usually gets lost between to-do lists).
We’ll guide you step by step, but you’ll have full freedom to experiment, mix colors, and create pieces that actually feel like you.
And yes — there’s a little aperitivo, because good conversations (and good ideas) need fuel.
What you’ll create:
A pair of handmade polymer clay earrings
A resin jewelry dish for your bedside or vanity
Where: Kookie LAB
Vibe: relaxed, creative, social (but not awkward)
Come alone or bring a friend — either way, you won’t feel like the odd one out.
✨ All materials included
✨ Duration: 2 hours
✨ Language: English

Learning Massage in Gambara MM for free!
Ho il piacere di farsi scoprire il benefico mondo del massaggio. Vi disporrò a coppie e vi insegnerò semplici ed efficaci sequenze su arti superiori e piede e gamba. Indosserete abiti comodi come una canotta e un pantaloncino. Saremo seduti sui tappetini in una bella e piccola palestrina dentro un centro polifunzionale, tranquillo e accogliente. Avrete i prodotti da massaggio (olio di mandorle puro) e siete invitati a portare un asciugamano e magari delle salviettine per rinfrescarvi prima di cominciare a farvi trattare. Ricevete ed eseguirete a vicenda, quindi. Per un totale di due ore.
Sono a disposizione per domande.
È sconsigliato a chi ha importanti problemi di mobilità (deve stare su un tappetino a terra) e forti reticenze al contatto umano.
Il corso è rivolto ad ambo i sessi senza discriminazioni nè limiti di età

Hey there! 🌟
We have found a new location that suits out networking needs!
Allora, we'd love for you to join us for our next edition of *Tech Startups in the Terrace*.
The event is scheduled for **6 PM local Italian time**. The platform does not allow us to change the time zone, so we can only create events in GMT. Thus, you will see the invitation for 7 PM, but you definitely want to come earlier, since the place will be closed from 9-9:30 PM.
It's a relaxed and refreshing evening at the **Porta Romana**, in a lovely **coworking space Open by Joivy**, and run by Volodymyr. We have been running for 3.5 years in London, and we are excited to now run our monthly events in Milan as well, welcoming new folks to the community.
Whether you're a tech founder, an enthusiast, a budding entrepreneur, or simply curious about the tech scene, you'll fit right in. This isn't about panels or pitching, just good old-fashioned networking with like-minded people over a drink on a Thursday evening.
**House Rules:**
* Find Volodymyr to introduce yourself so we can welcome you properly. The place owners know we are coming, so you should be able to find us easily.
* No hard selling or heavy pitching. This is a chill, friendly after-work get-together.
* Not drinking? No worries! You're more than welcome to come hang out and enjoy the conversation.
Mark your calendar and come down for some fun tech talk. See you there!

Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code - Alan Barber
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
*Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code*
Visual Studio Code is one of the most widely used development environments today, and much of its flexibility comes from its extension ecosystem. Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs.
In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling.
The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options.

Claude Code with Unity
A session on using Claude Code, Anthropic's AI coding agent, in real Unity development. We'll cover what coding agents are, where Claude Code fits, and how to apply it to an actual game project.
The format is presentation-style, with live demos and time for questions throughout. After brief scene-setting on coding agents and what makes Claude Code distinct, we'll go problem-driven: demoing it live on a released Unity game and introducing each feature as a solution to a problem we hit.
What to Expect:
* An intro to coding agents and where Claude Code fits
* A live demo on a real Unity project
* Key features as solutions to real problems: 𝖢𝖫𝖠𝖴𝖣𝖤.𝗆𝖽, context management, hooks, skills, subagents, and MCP
* Unity-specific pain points, including Domain Reload and MCP caveats
