Creative Problem Solving

**Open Coding Night** Ti va di allenarti con il TDD provando qualche Kata? Vuoi provare il *vibe coding*? Hai un progetto personale che non riesci mai a portare avanti? Oppure ti piacerebbe imparare Rust, Zig, Haskell o qualche altro linguaggio? [>>> per trovare l'ufficio <<<](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1x-QSl6rp8vR8Zj9k58ntmzTlUtuCB7OY/view?usp=sharing) **Open Coding Night** è un formato anti-procrastinazione libero e non limitato al solo TDD: ci si trova la sera insieme ad altre persone curiose e motivate, per finalmente dare spazio alle proprie idee e sperimentare. **Come Partecipare** Porta con te un’idea, un esercizio, un progetto o una tecnologia che vuoi provare. Troverai una scrivania e un monitor a tua disposizione per metterti subito all’opera. Non hai un obiettivo preciso ma ti piace lasciarti guidare dalla serendipità? Nessun problema: puoi unirti a chi vuole condividere la propria attività e lavorare insieme. **Programma** * **19:00 – 21:30** meetup aperto * **19:30** breve giro di presentazioni: chi c’è, cosa vuole fare, a cosa vuole aggregarsi * **19:45 – 21:15**: focus time, ma siete liberi di muovervi, esplorare e fare domande in giro. * **21:15** mini-retrospective su cosa è stato fatto * Dalle **21:30** in poi, libertà totale: puoi tornare a casa o unirti a chi ha voglia di andare a cena insieme! \-\-\- We are open to English speaking participants: **Open Coding Night** Do you feel like practicing TDD by trying out some Katas? Want to try vibe coding? Do you have a personal project you never manage to move forward? Or would you like to learn Rust, Zig, Haskell, or some other language? **Open Coding Night** is an anti-procrastination format not limited only to TDD: you meet in the evening with other curious and motivated people to finally give space to your ideas and experiment. **How to participate** Bring an idea, an exercise, a project, or a technology you want to try. You’ll find a desk and a monitor at your disposal so you can get to work right away. Don’t have a specific goal but enjoy being guided by serendipity? No problem: you can join those who want to share their activity and work together. **Schedule** * **19:00 – 21:30** open meetup * **19:30** short round of introductions: who’s here, what they want to do, what they want to join * **19:45 – 21:15:** focus time, but you’re free to move around, explore, and ask questions. * **21:15** mini-retrospective on what was done * From **21:30** onward, total freedom: you can go home or join those who feel like going out for dinner together!

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

**Architectural tests and fitness functions in practice** Perché, nonostante le buone intenzioni, l'architettura di un sistema tende a deteriorarsi nel tempo? Come possiamo evitare che il design perda la sua integrità man mano che il progetto evolve? In questo meetup, esploreremo insieme come trasformare l’architettura da un concetto teorico a una realtà misurabile e protetta. **Attraverso un mix di discussione attiva ed esempi pratici**, affronteremo insieme tre sfide cruciali : * **Guard rail** : Come possiamo implementare vincoli automatici che mantengano il controllo sull'architettura direttamente nella pipeline * **Consapevolezza** : Come assicurarsi che le scelte architetturali siano condivise e comprese da tutto il team, evitando l'accumulo di "debito decisionale"? * **Monitoraggio** : È possibile misurare oggettivamente il deterioramento strutturale e intervenire prima che il costo del cambiamento diventi insostenibile? Vi aspettiamo per mettere a confronto le nostre esperienze e scoprire come utilizzare Architectural Tests e Fitness Functions per preservare la salute del software nel tempo **Link Telegram** [https://t.me/codingbunker](https://t.me/codingbunker) ​ **Programma** 18:30 - Accredito ​​19:00 - Breve presentazione della community ​​19:15 - Inizio sessione ​​20:15 - Q&A ​​20:30 - Networking **Nota legale** Partecipando all’evento, l’utente autorizza gli organizzatori a effettuare riprese fotografiche e video e a utilizzare il materiale raccolto per finalità di comunicazione, promozione e documentazione delle attività legate a Coding Bunker e alla community

✨ **Trama in breve** Gea ha ventisette anni e vive sui Navigli di Milano, in un piccolo mondo tutto suo da cui raramente si allontana. In un’epoca che corre veloce e guarda lontano, lei sceglie di restare vicino: aggiusta oggetti, li rimette in circolo, lascia in giro poesie e piccoli messaggi, convinta che ogni cosa possa avere una seconda possibilità. Circondata da personaggi fuori dal comune – e decisamente lontani dalla sua età – Gea sembra sospesa, come se non trovasse davvero il suo posto nel mondo. Forse anche a causa di un passato ingombrante e di paure che non è mai riuscita a sistemare, proprio lei che ripara tutto. Quando una vecchia bottega di rigattiere, il “Nuovo mondo”, rischia di sparire per sempre, Gea decide di fare qualcosa: salvarla. Quella missione diventa molto più di un gesto concreto — è l’occasione per affrontare sé stessa, immaginare un futuro diverso e, forse, iniziare finalmente a vivere davvero. Perché a volte, ciò che proviamo a salvare… finisce per salvare noi. 💬 **Cosa faremo insieme?** * Condivideremo i passaggi che ci hanno colpito di più * Parleremo di Gea: la capiamo? la critichiamo? la abbracciamo? 😄 * Scopriremo somiglianze e differenze tra lei e noi ❓ **Spunti per la discussione:** * Ti sei sentita rappresentata da Gea? * In quali aspetti ti riconosci? * Dove invece senti distanza dal suo modo di affrontare la vita? Non è necessario aver letto il libro per partecipare né condividere le proprie opinioni. Puoi acquistare il libro oppure prenderlo in prestito in biblioteca. 📍 **Dove:** Laghetto Parco nord Via Ornato– Milano, porta un telo perché staremo sul prato. 💸 **Contributo:** 5€ da inviare con paypal o satispay ☕ Consumazioni extra a carico di ciascun partecipante da poter prendere al bar "Sun Strac" sia durante l'evento sia dopo per chi avesse piacere di fermarsi. Un incontro leggero, senza pressioni, pieno di storie, punti di vista e magari anche qualche piccola “cosa che ci salva”. 💛 In caso di maltempo 🌧☂ l'evento verrà rinviato. gruppo whatsapp [https://chat.whatsapp.com/JPeImG8EK1P82157K4izWP?mode=gi_t](https://chat.whatsapp.com/JPeImG8EK1P82157K4izWP?mode=gi_t)

This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships. Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse. Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well. Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship. Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action? Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships! Break free from self imposed limitations Here we will discuss: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career? Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general. Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person. Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life. We look forward to having you join us! This class is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

Most people use AI like a search box: they type one sentence, hope for the best, and get frustrated when the answer is generic, wrong, or useless. But getting better results from tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and other AI systems is not about memorizing magic prompts. It is about learning how to give the AI better context. In this beginner-friendly session, we’ll break down how to make AI dramatically more useful by improving the way you communicate with it. You’ll learn how to give clearer instructions, provide examples, set constraints, ask for better output formats, and use follow-up questions to turn a mediocre answer into a genuinely useful one. We’ll cover practical techniques you can use immediately for work, learning, writing, coding, planning, research, and everyday problem solving. We’ll also touch on why these same ideas show up in more advanced AI systems, including RAG, agents, evaluations, and AI workflows. No technical background required. Bring your curiosity, your questions, and maybe one real task you wish AI was better at helping you with. **What you’ll learn:** * Why “better prompting” is really about better context * How to structure requests so AI gives more useful answers * How to use examples, constraints, and output formats * How to iterate when the first answer is not good enough * How these skills connect to more advanced AI workflows This meetup is for anyone who wants to move beyond basic ChatGPT usage and start getting more practical value out of AI. LOGISTICS AND PARKING: The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks! The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.

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** Like it or not, AI agents are now capable of turning a quickly written paragraph of requirements into a pull request that is ready to be integrated into real-world production applications and it's now our responsibility to make sure AI doesn't go rogue and take down prod - or corrupt our data by misunderstanding the requirements or our existing schemas. In this session we'll explore strategies to protect our codebases through unit and integration testing, documentation, and code review along with additional ways of providing context and guard rails to our AI agents as they carry out the work we've assigned them to do. By the time we're done, you'll have a firm grasp of the problem and understand some helpful options for protecting your codebase from vibe coding mishaps getting YOLOed into prod. **YouTube Link** TBD
