Agile Testing

Per il mese di Marzo accogliamo nuovamente un ospite speciale, a un anno esatto dall'ultimo intervento fatto per noi. Esponente di spicco del movimento Agile ed XP in italia, membro storico del gruppo di *eXtreme Programming Milano* : **Matteo Vaccari**. Portandoci *"Coding with AI: the last 3 month"* ci racconta le novità che ha esplorato e sperimentato negli ultimi mesi sul coding con l'AI. \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- **Abstract** La programmazione assistita dall'IA si sta evolvendo rapidamente. Negli ultimi mesi sono emerse due tendenze: lo spec-driven development, ovvero la stesura di piani dettagliati prima della implementazione, e l'harness engineering, ovvero l'utilizzo di test, linter e controlli automatizzati per mantenere l'IA sulla strada giusta. Parlerò di questi trend e della nostra esperienza recente applicandoli a una codebase reale dove vogliamo (a) non scrivere mai codice a mano e (b) ottenere codice di alta qualità **Bio** Extreme programmer, Thoughtworker, trainer, coach and software developer. Deeply interested in what makes teams and companies successful beyond expectations! Any opinion expressed are my own. \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- **Dove ci troviamo?** Anche questo mese siamo ospiti di [Thoughtworks Italia](https://www.thoughtworks.com/it-it/about-us/Chi-Siamo-Thoughtworks) nella sua sede milanese in Via Filippo Turati, 30: * 18:45 Ritrovo e networking * 19:15 Inizio attività * 21:00 Saluti e birra/cena vicino alla location per chi vuole rimanere

**Un Viaggio di 3 Notti verso la Presenza, la Chiarezza e la Connessione Interiore.** Questo ritiro è un invito a rallentare, respirare e tornare a te stesso. Svolto in un ambiente tranquillo immerso nella natura vicio a Roma, questo ritiro di evoluzione interiore di 3 notti offre uno spazio sicuro e accogliente per l’esplorazione interiore, l’integrazione emotiva e una riconnessione significativa. È pensato per chi sente il bisogno di fermarsi, ascoltare dentro di sé e riallinearsi con ciò che conta davvero. Il nostro lavoro si basa sul Metodo di EVOLUZIONE INTERIORE — un processo gentile ma profondo che combina consapevolezza emotiva, pratiche incarnate, auto-indagine, presenza relazionale e integrazione guidata. Sono disponibili strumenti ancestrale opzionali, ma non sono mai al centro. Il cuore del ritiro è lo spazio che creiamo insieme, dove chiarezza e comprensione possono emergere in modo naturale. Invece di cercare risposte all’esterno, questo ritiro ti accompagna a riconnetterti con la tua intelligenza interiore, permettendo che comprensione, liberazione e direzione nascano da dentro. Questa esperienza è per chiunque si senta chiamato a uscire dal rumore della vita quotidiana e a immergersi in pochi giorni di semplicità, onestà e contatto autentico — con sé stesso, con gli altri e con la natura. **La prenotazione include:** • Alloggio e pensione completa, con opzione vegana o vegetariana. • La partecipazione ai laboratori di approfondimento con i nostri facilitatori, che servono anche come preparazione prima della sessione notturna. • Le integrazioni di gruppo del mattino per condividere l’esperienza o ampliare la comprensione di ciò che sta accadendo nel tuo processo. • Una sessione con strumenti ancestrali ogni notte di ritiro (se vuoi farne più di una durante il giorno di ritiro, si considera come una sessione aggiuntiva) con l’accompagnamento della nostra equipe di facilitatori. • Appoggio prima, durante e dopo il ritiro • Sessione integrativa online post ritiro. **Informazioni in breve:** Per info sull’evento per favore contattaci direttamente ai riferimenti qui sotto 🙏 * **Data dell’evento:** 26 - 29 marzo 2026 📞 **Contatti:** +39 327 540 8329 (WhatsApp)

The GYROTONIC® (with equipment) and GYROKINESIS® (without equipment) methods were developed in the 1970s by Juliu Horvath, a professional Hungarian dancer who, after multiple injuries, sought a new approach to rehabilitation. This led him to create GYROTONIC®, an extraordinary discipline that combines elements of dance, yoga, swimming, and tai chi. In the GYROTONIC® method, exercise sequences consist of rhythmic, circular movements that flow seamlessly from one to the next, allowing the joints to move freely and naturally, without compression. GYROTONIC® is a unique and original method that stimulates the nervous system, tones the muscles, and improves balance, coordination, flexibility, and strength. The practice of GYROTONIC® is suitable for everyone, including those recovering from injuries who are looking for a new approach to rehabilitation. Each person can naturally adapt the exercises to their own physical condition and needs, so age or fitness level do not matter. The only goal is to regain agility and mobility, helping your body feel healthier and more balanced than ever. **Les Amis** is a women-only community of friendly souls. We provide access to hundreds of experiences that explore your passions and connect you with other event participants. **Check our website to learn more, and apply to join our community and events**: [lesamis.cc/apply](https://www.lesamis.cc/apply)

Large language models are impressive out of the box — but they hallucinate, they're generic, and they need the cloud. What if you could take a small open-source model and turn it into a domain expert that runs on your own hardware? That's exactly what we're doing in this hands-on workshop. **[Luca Massaron](https://www.linkedin.com/in/lmassaron/)** — data scientist, bestselling AI author, 3x Kaggle Grandmaster, and Google Developer Expert — will walk you through a complete fine-tuning pipeline from scratch: evaluate a base model, generate synthetic training data, fine-tune with QLoRA, and measure the improvement. All on consumer-grade hardware. By the end of the session, you'll have a repeatable playbook for making small models punch way above their weight in any domain you care about. **What you'll work through:** Baseline evaluation of a pre-trained model → Synthetic dataset generation from real sources → Supervised fine-tuning with QLoRA (parameter-efficient, memory-friendly) → Post-training evaluation to measure the knowledge gain → **Bonus:** fine-tuning for classification tasks (sentiment analysis) **What to bring:** **Your laptop**. The workshop runs on Google Colab (free T4 GPU tier), so no fancy hardware required — just a browser and a Google account. If you have a machine with an NVIDIA GPU (16GB+ VRAM) or an Apple Silicon Mac (16GB+ unified memory), you can run everything locally too. **This event is part of Road to HACK — the official warm-up series for [GDG AI HACK 2026](https://gdgaihack.com/).** On May 8–10, 160 selected participants will compete in a 24-hour AI hackathon in Milan, with tracks spanning on-device AI, vision AI, and EdTech. Fine-tuning is one of the most directly applicable skills you can bring to the hack. Applications for GDG AI HACK 2026 are open **until April 17 →** [gdgaihack.com](https://gdgaihack.com/)
