Dinner with Strangers - Social Dinner Meetup in Toronto
Please make your reservation on dayofus.com. This is a paid event.
DayOfUs brings strangers together for unforgettable dinners. Every week, we curate group dining experiences at great local restaurants — you + five new faces. No awkward planning, no group chats that go nowhere — just good food, good vibes, and conversations that matter.
### **Here’s how it works:**
1. **Take our quick quiz** in the DayOfUs app to share your preferences.
2. **We match you** with a group of like-minded people.
3. **We book the restaurant** — you simply show up and enjoy.
4. **You leave with new friends** (and maybe a new favorite restaurant).
✨ **Not a dating app** – we’re all about human connection and building friendships.
### **Why Join Us?**
* **Effortless** – We handle all the planning.
* **Fresh every week** – New people, new restaurants.
* **Personality-based matching** – Not just random pairings.
* **Local & traveler friendly** – Whether you’re new in town or just looking to meet more people.

Mob Programming at Mofer Coffee
Let’s do some coding together at a cafe! No more working alone in the weekend. Here, we write code together. And I mean together together. Not occupying-the-same-space-but-separate together.
Here’s how it works: Jennifer brings her mobile app project, tells everyone that it is like Pinterest for recipes and she’d like to work on the nav bar. Paul and Chloe think Jennifer's project is fascinating, and they join the group. They gather around Jennifer’s laptop and work on the nav bar for 2 hours. Jennifer is the one typing out the code while Paul and Chloe research, brainstorm, and offer suggestions.
If you’re feeling stuck on your own project or need a motivation boost, bring it to mob programming!
Want to learn by watching how others code and solve problems? Join someone else’s project at this event!
Oh and we love your half-done projects that you are a bit embarrassed to share. Absolutely bring those to the event!
**Discord**:
We use Discord to share screen & code snippets during the event. Also feel free to share your projects here before the event!
https://discord.gg/Da9fZFxPfs
**Event policy**:
* We have 0 tolerance for harassment.
* We don’t allow the projects that are not meant to be shared in public such as school assignments, interview tasks, or trade secrets.
* The goal is to write code. We discourage you from pitching business ideas here, doing code reviews, or spending the whole event on planning what to do.
* Please buy a drink, and tip the barista well.

How to start your first business? 👀
Millions of people dream about starting a business.
Most never begin. 🙊
This meetup is for people who have been thinking about starting a business but feel stuck between ideas, fear, and too much information.
In one session we’ll break the illusion of “perfect timing” and show how real businesses actually start — messy, simple, and much sooner than most people think.
If you’ve been saying “I’ll start soon” for months or years, this event is your moment to finally begin. 🚀
#92: 1 Man Company Agentic Engineering:10 DOs & Don'ts
你一个人,但需要做 5 个人的事。
*You're one person. But you're doing the work of five.*
需求文档?你写。代码架构?你定。测试?你跑。部署?还是你。
*Product spec? You write it. System architecture? You design it. Testing? You run it. Deployment? Still you.*
这不是抱怨,这是 Solo Founder、独立工程师、技术 Lead 的日常现实。
*This isn't a complaint — it's the daily reality of solo founders, independent engineers, and technical leads.*
***
哈佛商学院今年刚发布了一项研究:他们跟踪了 200 名工程师长达 9 个月,结论出人意料——
*Harvard Business Review recently published a striking finding: they tracked 200 engineers over 9 months, and the conclusion was counterintuitive —*
**用了 AI 的人,工作量反而增加了。**
***People who used AI ended up with more work, not less.***
速度更快,被分配更多任务。工具更多,注意力更碎片化。AI 放大了原有的工作节奏,而不是改变它。
*Work faster, get assigned more. More tools, more context-switching. AI amplified the existing pace of work — it didn't change it.*
这项研究说中了很多人的感受:AI 没有给我们自由,它只是让我们更忙。但这也说明——问题不在 AI,在于我们怎么用它。
*This research captured what many of us already feel: AI hasn't freed us — it just made us busier. But that also means the problem isn't AI. It's how we use it.*
***
本次分享,讲者将从自己的真实项目经验出发,拆解他如何用 **Agentic Engineering** 方法论,真正实现了一个人跑出整个工程团队产能的工作方式。
*In this talk, the speaker will draw on his own real projects to break down how he uses the **Agentic Engineering** methodology to genuinely achieve the output of a full engineering team — as one person.*
不是让 AI 帮你聊天,而是让 AI 成为你的产品经理、工程团队、工程文化和 DevOps——
*Not using AI to chat — but making AI your product manager, your engineering team, your engineering culture, and your DevOps.*
分享将以 **10 DOs & Don'ts** 为主线,每一条都有对应的真实场景。10 个 DO/DON'T,是他从中整理出来的实战清单。
*He's been there. The 10 DOs & Don'ts are the practical checklist he built from those mistakes.*
***
**你将带走什么 · What You'll Take Away**
不是理论框架,是一套当晚就能用的判断标准:
*Not a theoretical framework — a set of judgment principles you can apply the same night:*
* 什么时候用 Claude,什么时候切 Codex,什么时候用 Raycast *When to use Claude, when to switch to Codex, when to reach for Raycast*
* 为什么"提问前先优化提示词"能把输出质量翻倍 *Why optimizing your prompt before asking can double output quality*
* Plan Mode 和直接对话的区别,以及在什么情况下必须用 Plan Mode *The difference between Plan Mode and direct chat — and when you must use Plan Mode*
* 如何把反复有效的提示词固化为跨项目的 Skill 资产 *How to crystallize effective prompts into reusable Skills that compound across projects*
* 如何搭建一套多机可同步、一行命令恢复的 1 Man Company 工程环境 *How to build a 1 Man Company engineering environment: portable, multi-machine, one-command recovery*
***
**适合谁来 · Who Should Attend**
正在用 AI 写代码、但感觉还没找到节奏的工程师。独立开发者或 Solo Founder,想把个人产能天花板再往上推一层。对 Agentic AI 感兴趣,但还没有实战经验可以参照的技术人。
*Engineers who are using AI to code but haven't found their rhythm yet. Independent developers or solo founders who want to push their personal productivity ceiling higher. Technical practitioners curious about Agentic AI but without real-world reference points yet.*
不需要提前了解 Claude 或 Codex,只需要有过"AI 没帮上忙"的困惑,就值得来听一听。
*No prior knowledge of Claude or Codex required. If you've ever felt that "AI just isn't helping me the way it should" — this talk is for you.*

Fast Friending: Meaningful Connections! (21-40/Happy Hours/Bring a lady free)
In a diverse, fast-moving city like Toronto, it’s easy to be surrounded by people yet still feel unsure where to start when it comes to making new friends. As adults, our routines get full, circles get smaller, and meaningful connections don’t just happen by chance.
That’s why our Fast Friending evenings in Toronto are created with intention — to give you a comfortable, welcoming space to meet others who are also looking for genuine friendships. If you’ve been wanting deeper connections but didn’t know where to begin, this is your place to start.
**Book tickets now & save money -**

EVENT COST:
Early Bird - CAD$ 10 per person
Regular Ticket - CAD$ 15 per person
Cash at meetup - If you have not purchased your ticket in advance then you can pay CAD$ 20 cash when you meet Sonia at the venue.
**Our venue for the evening** \- We have a reserved area where our members can meet each other in a supportive environment\.
**Here’s how your evening will flow:**
**7:00 PM – Welcome**
Arrive at 7:00 PM and be welcomed by your host, Sonia, who will guide the evening and help with introductions. Feeling shy? Come a little early and she’ll ease you into small-group conversations. You’re also welcome to bring a lady friend along for free.
**7:30 – 8:30 PM \| Fast Friending**
Chat with a new attendee every 3 minutes, ensuring you meet a variety of like-minded ladies and gentlemen.
**After 8:30 PM \| Open Mingling**
Reconnect with those you enjoyed speaking to and continue meaningful conversations at your own pace
\- We are not a close knit tight group\. Our evenings are warm and comfortable for members attending for the first time and those coming alone\. You will not feel alone\!
\- We have many groups in this city\. Members of our other groups who RSVP are included as guests of the organisers in order to give you an indication of expected people\.
\- This evening is for ladies and gents in the 21 to 40 age group\. While some will be at the younger end of this range there will also be others at the other end of the range and lots in\-between\! You will naturally gel with others of your own age range and so you will always find many attendees who fit your range\.
\- We are not a 'dating' group\. We are focused on helping ladies and gents meet other like minded ladies and gents\. You will generally find a good gender balance \(maybe not perfect\) at all our events\.
**Why do we have tickets?**
1. Cover our costs - Our host is compensated for their time and work. We also pay meetup and have dedicated staff to manage our events, hosts, venues and communication.
2. Group Safety - By securing your ticket we have a record and you contribute to a well organized evening where everyone is more committed and better behaved.
3. Management - Tickets help us better manage attendee group size, book suitable space and activity.

Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup:
* Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics
Round 1 - (7 secs max):
* Your name
* What you're working on
* What you can help others with
Round 2:
* Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too.
Round 3:
* Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool.
After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!
