Spec Driven Development & AI DLC: Il Futuro del Software Engineering
Spec Driven Development & AI DLC: Il Futuro del Software Engineering
# 🚀 Spec Driven Development & AI DLC: Il Futuro del Software Engineering Sei pronto a scoprire come l’Intelligenza Artificiale sta trasformando radicalmente il modo in cui progettiamo e sviluppiamo software? Il prossimo **31 marzo**, il meetup **Master The Vibe** torna a Milano per una serata dedicata alle nuove frontiere del coding: lo **Spec Driven Development (SDD)** e l'**AI DLC (AI Development Life Cycle)**. Non parleremo solo di teoria, ma vedremo come queste metodologie cambiano il lavoro quotidiano nei team di ricerca e sviluppo. ### 💡 Di cosa parleremo? L'avvento dei LLM e dei software engineer autonomi sta spostando il focus dal "writing code" al "writing specs". Analizzeremo: * Cosa sono realmente SDD e AI DLC. * Come funzionano i flussi di lavoro guidati dalle specifiche. * Le sfide tecniche e culturali per i team. * **Pro e Contro:** dove l'AI eccelle e dove rischia di fallire. ### 🎙️ Gli Speaker * **Giulio Roggero**: Ci introdurrà ai concetti cardine di Spec Driven Development e AI DLC, delineando il nuovo paradigma della programmazione. * **Davide Calabrò**: Condividerà l’esperienza pratica e "dal campo" di come l'SDD viene applicato nei processi di R&D, tra successi e lezioni apprese. *** ### 📅 Agenda * **18.15**: Accesso e Networking (iniziamo a conoscerci!) * **18.45**: Benvenuti e Introduzione alla serie di Meetup *Master the Vibe* (Milano & Londra) * **19.00**: **Giulio Roggero** \- Introduzione a Spec Driven Development e AI DLC * **19.30**: **Davide Calabrò** \- Esperienza dal campo: SDD applicato nello sviluppo R&D * **20.00**: **Tavola Rotonda & Brainstorming** \- Spunti dai partecipanti e conversazione libera\. Porta i tuoi dubbi e le tue esperienze\! * **20.30**: Chiusura, saluti e... ci vediamo al prossimo! *** ### 🍕 Pizza, Birra & Networking Nessun meetup è completo senza un momento conviviale. Durante la serata saranno offerte **bevande, birra e pizza** per facilitare il networking e continuare le discussioni in modo informale. ### 📍 Dove e Quando * **Data**: 31 Marzo * **Location**: Mia-Platform, Via Imbonati 18, Milano (5° Piano) *** **⚠️ Nota importante:** I posti sono limitati per garantire la qualità della conversazione durante la tavola rotonda. Assicurati di fare RSVP il prima possibile! **Ti aspettiamo per dare forma insieme al futuro dello sviluppo software!**

Remote Circle - Milano / Open
Remote Circle - Milano / Open
Sei un remote worker? Uno studente? Un freelance? Ti serve un luogo calmo dove lavorare senza distrazioni, senza pressione, e allo stesso tempo socializzare? Remote Circle è una routine di lavoro condivisa e silenziosa. L’atmosfera è essenziale: tavoli condivisi, ritmo lento, concentrazione naturale. Si lavora in autonomia, ma non da soli. Rimani il tempo che ti serve: l’incontro è flessibile, discreto, operativo. Remote Circle non è un workshop e non è coworking. È un appuntamento leggero, replicabile, pensato per creare continuità senza esposizione.

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. Antonio

BookClub Intermezzo
BookClub Intermezzo
Il BookClub **The Reading Riot** si ritrova per parlare di *Intermezzo* di Sally Rooney, una delle voci più interessanti e riconoscibili della narrativa contemporanea. Il romanzo segue le vite di due fratelli molto diversi tra loro che, dopo la morte del padre, si trovano ad affrontare relazioni complesse, desideri contrastanti e nuove responsabilità. Tra silenzi, incomprensioni e momenti di profonda vulnerabilità, i personaggi cercano il proprio equilibrio emotivo mentre navigano il difficile spazio tra ciò che proviamo e ciò che riusciamo davvero a dire agli altri. Un romanzo intimo, lucido e profondamente umano che esplora amore, perdita, senso di colpa e bisogno di connessione, e che ci invita a riflettere su quanto le nostre relazioni possano definirci, cambiarci o metterci in discussione. Durante l’incontro discuteremo insieme i temi principali del libro, partendo dalle impressioni personali di chi partecipa. Il BookClub è uno spazio informale e aperto: una conversazione tra lettori curiosi, dove ogni punto di vista è benvenuto. *** **Quando e dove** Mercoledì **1 Aprile** Ore **19:00** Presso Il Vinaccio - Solari (Via Bernardino Lanino, 2) Ingresso gratuito con consumazione obbligatoria. *** **Posti limitati** Per mantenere il gruppo piccolo e favorire uno scambio autentico tra i partecipanti, i posti sono limitati. Una volta raggiunto il limite, verrà attivata una lista d’attesa. *** ⏳ **Importante** Se dopo l’iscrizione non riesci più a partecipare, ti chiediamo di cancellare la prenotazione entro il giorno prima, così da lasciare spazio a chi è in attesa. *** Porta il libro, la tua curiosità e le tue impressioni: non vediamo l’ora di discuterne insieme 📚✨ Contatti IG: **@thereadingriot_**

Bad Girls Book Club April 2026
Bad Girls Book Club April 2026
**Our April novel is: *The Hong Kong Widow* by Kristen Loesch** **This month’s novel blends gothic atmosphere with historical fiction and chilling horror, set against the haunting backdrop of China. The book is 368 pages in print and 10 hours and 42 minutes on audiobook.** In 1950s Hong Kong, Mei is a young refugee of the Chinese Communist revolution struggling to put her past in Shanghai behind her. When she receives a shocking invitation—to take part in a competition in one of the city's most notorious haunted houses, pitting six spirit mediums against one another in a series of six séances over six nights, until a single winner emerges—she has every reason to refuse. Except that the hostess, a former Shanghainese silent film star, is none other than the wife of the man who once destroyed Mei’s entire life. It is promised the winner will receive a fortune, but there is only one prize Mei wants: revenge. Decades later, the final night of that competition has become an infamous urban legend: The police were called to the scene of a brutal massacre but found no evidence, dismissing it as a collective hallucination. Mei knows what she saw, but now someone else is convinced they know what she did. She must uncover the truth about the last night she ever spent in that house—even if the ghosts of her past are waiting for her there. . . .
Book Bedazzling (BYOB) - Bloodguard by Cecy Robson
Book Bedazzling (BYOB) - Bloodguard by Cecy Robson
Let's bedazzle some books while we discuss our April pick: Bloodguard by Cecy Robson! Book description: One hundred years. Tens of thousands of gladiators. And today, only one will rise… Everything in the Kingdom of Arrow is a lie. Leith of Grey thought coming to this new land and volunteering to fight in the gladiator arena—vicious, bloodthirsty tournaments where only the strongest survive—would earn him enough gold to save his dying sister. He thought there was nothing left to lose. He was wrong—and they took everything. His hope. His freedom. His very humanity. All Leith has left is his battle-scarred body, fueled by rage and hardened from years of fighting for the right to live another day. Then Leith meets Maeve, an elven royal who is everything he despises. Everything he should hate. Until the alluring princess offers him the one thing he needs most: a chance to win the coveted title of Bloodguard—and his freedom. But in a kingdom built on secrets and lies, hope doesn’t come cheap. Nor will his ultimate revenge… Event: Please bring your own book, journal, bookmarks, etc to bedazzle. If you have bedazzling supplies, please bring them as well. I will supply gems, glue, and picker tools, but if you have certain colors in mind, you may want to bring your own.
