Une bonne dose de confrontation à la réalité, et d'inspiration, en perspective ! 🎉 📅 **Date :** 21 janvier 2026 ⏰ **Heure :** 18H30 **📍Adresse :** [Qonto, 18 Rue de Navarin, 75009 Paris](https://maps.app.goo.gl/YNtG2hMZWbjFzZJK7) **📣 Talks** * "Claude Code Unleashed: AI-Driven Refactoring" par Adrien Kvaternik : *Gérer à grande échelle des bases de code complexes et des équipes en pleine croissance exige des outils intelligents. Découvrez comment Qonto tire parti de l'IA pour relever les défis ambitieux de la refactorisation : modularisation automatisée du code, migration vers les standards et analyse de la base de code, sans oublier notre vision de l'ingénierie assistée par l'IA en 2026.* * "The flying dutchman: security audit with no living soul" par Samuel Legoff & Alexis Descamps : *Auditer en continu la sécurité de plus de 200 microservices sans surcharger une équipe de dix ingénieurs en sécurité représente un véritable défi. Nous présenterons comment nous sommes passés d'une approche basée sur l'IA pour réaliser rapidement et pragmatiquement des audits de dizaines de services, à un service d'audit de sécurité entièrement autonome, basé sur les LLMs.* * "Deploying AI practices at scale" par Yankı Sesyılmaz : *Comment Doctolib a déployé au moins un outil d’IA à 600 ingénieurs en un trimestre, quels écueils ont été rencontrés et quelles sont les futures perspectives ?* **🕚 Horaires approximatifs** * 18h30 - 19h00 : Ouverture des portes avec rafraîchissements * 19h00 - 20h00 : Talks et questions-réponses * 20h00 - 22h30 : Boissons, nourriture et networking **Informations pratiques:** * 4 minutes à pied depuis le métro 2 - Pigalle * 4 minutes à pied depuis le métro 12 - Pigalle ou Saint Georges * 9 minutes à pied depuis le métro 7 - Le Pelletier

**Step into the laid-back charm of Cosy Cave Conversations**, a Parisian philosophy chat that's more relaxed than a cat in a sunbeam 🐈 🌞 Gather with a bunch of easygoing souls, share thoughts on the good life and its mysteries, enjoy a beverage, and have a good laugh. A few things to be aware of: * **Please** **don't show up without a spot** (we aim to keep it cosy and we always have a waiting list these days — check if you’re on the list or the waiting list) * If it's your first event, it's essential you **turn up early, or at the latest on time (<7pm)** so you understand how it works, what the topic is and don't interrupt the session * The **session runs from 7pm to 8:30pm** where we focus on the discussion, but don't worry, you'll have a chance to socialise, introduce yourselves and continue the chat after the session. **If you’re running late** (the curtains are closed), that’s okay, but please wait to join us in the break rather than interrupting the session. * Please read the **tips below** for a good session before coming along **How does it work?** We embrace the café-philo method — proposing intriguing topics on the night (up to 3), choosing one together, and diving into everything from consciousness, community, death and god, while managing to keep it light and easy 🦦 **Forget the stiff atmosphere**, we're all about small groups (\~10 people) and unpretentious chats with no homework required. No need for a philosophy degree, just bring your open mind and a dash of curiosity. **Join us every Wednesday 19h-20h30 at Les Acolytes** — because pondering the profound is better with good company (and a pint). See you there! 🎉 A few tips for a great session: * come with an **open and curious mind** 🧠 * **prioritise listening to others and asking questions** without interrupting or long monologues 👂 * we put a strong **emphasise on giving everyone a chance to contribute to the discussion**, so try and be aware of how much space and time you take up when speaking 🐻‍❄️ * we prioritise **intellectual accessibility**: this is not an academic group therefore we ask to keep any philosophy jargon to a minimum and instead explain any concepts in plain english 🤠 * we are an **apolitical group** that focuses on discussing and exploring philosophical ideas without endorsing or aligning with any specific political or religous ideologies. Our aim is to encourage open, unbiased dialogue centered on philosophical inquiry within a safe and respectful environment 🐥

L'IA Générale, et la robotique qui l'accompagne, représente un potentiel d'automatisation sans précédent. C'est la valeur productive de l'humain au travail elle-même qui est questionnée. Une nouvelle économie semble nécessairement devoir en résulter. Cette soirée sera l'occasion d'explorer cet horizon, ainsi que les autres questions posées par la l'IA à notre modèle économique. Quel est l'impact réel de l'IA sur l'économie ? Y a-t-il un phénomène de bulle dans l'IA ? Comment les IA peuvent avoir accès au système financier (par ex. via des portefeuilles de cryptomonnaies) et quelles en sont les conséquences ? Quelle reconfiguration de la notion de "valeur" à l'ère de l'IA ? Faut-il se préparer à un post-capitalisme et quelle forme pourrait-il avoir ? Avec la participation d'Axelle Arquié, docteure en économie spécialisée dans l'impact de l'IA. Programme : 18h30 - 18h45 : intro 18h45 - 19h30 : l'économie à l'ère de l'IA - par Axelle Arquié 19h30 - 20h : balade prospective au pays du post-capitalisme - Flavien Chervet 20h - 21h30 : cocktail et réseautage Un grand merci à notre partenaire pour la soirée, Humanskills, grâce à qui nous aurons un super espace et de quoi grignoter pendant le temps d'échange !

Notre meet-up réunit une fois par semaine anglophiles et francophiles de plus de cinquante ans afin de discuter de tout et de rien. Le but est d'offrir la possibilité aux uns et aux autres de pratiquer la langue dans laquelle ils souhaiteraient se perfectionner dans un cadre convivial. Nos directives sont de s'amuser et de respecter les différents points de vue et antécédents personnels. Il est interdit d'insulter ou de dénigrer d'autres membres en raison de leurs antécédents personnels. Le meet-up se termine précisément à 18h. Si vous souhaitez rester après 18h, veuillez vous déplacer dans une autre partie du café afin que la direction comprenne bien que la réunion est terminée. Nous vous invitons à prendre au moins une boisson pour soutenir le cafe. Si vous arrivez tard, vous pouvez commander au bar et le café vous apportera votre commande. Our meet-up group meets once a week. We are English and French speakers of a "certain age" (over 50), and we meet to talk about everything and nothing. The goal is to offer each of us the chance to practice whichever language he/she is learning, or just to have a conversation in either language with a friendly group in a relaxing atmosphere. Our guidelines are to have fun and to be respectful of different points of view and personal backgrounds. Insulting or disparaging other members because of their personal background is not permitted. Our meet-up ends promptly at 6pm. If you wish to remain after 6 pm, please move to a different section of the café so it is clear to management that the meet-up has ended. Please buy at least a drink to support the café. If you arrive late, you can order at the bar and they will bring your order to you.

We’ll break down what Copilot can (and cannot) do, where it can be used, and how licensing differs for individuals and organizations. Most importantly, this talk goes beyond theory with a live, hands-on demo showcasing Copilot inside the IDE and on GitHub, demonstrating how it can assist with code generation, refactoring, learning new APIs, and accelerating day-to-day development tasks. Designed for developers, technical leads, and engineering managers, this session provides a practical introduction to AI-assisted development, highlights best practices for getting value from Copilot, and closes with guidance on how to continue learning and evolving alongside this rapidly advancing tool. Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of how GitHub Copilot can enhance productivity, improve developer experience, and fit into modern software teams today, not someday. **YouTube Link** TBA
