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!

An intimate and refined Italian dining experience curated exclusively for Les Amis.

• One pizza of your choice
• One glass of wine
• Water

## What we’re about
Buongiorno a tutti. 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.

Can Your Laptop Run AI?
LLM Benchmarks on CPU/GPU, and How to Open It to the Community at Zero Cost
Don't forget to get your ticket on Eventbrite to register for the event: https://www.eventbrite.it/e/can-your-laptop-run-ai-tickets-1985370183664
More and more enthusiasts are trying to run AI/ML models directly on their own laptops. However, there has been a lack of objective, standardized, and reproducible third-party benchmarks focused on technical performance, such as tokens per second or training time. In fact, there *was* a lack of them.
This talk will cover two main topics. On the one hand, it will present the results of real benchmarks on AI workloads executed on local hardware, including LLM inference (3B to 14B) and tabular ML models, comparing CPU and GPU performance, latency, and model scaling.
On the other hand, a significant part of the talk will focus on the making-of of the project, which was built entirely using open tools and at zero cost. Moving from an idea, to an individual project, to a solution that anyone can contribute to required a fairly articulated architecture and a mix of tools: not only Python code, but also automation with GitHub Actions, managed DuckDB through MotherDuck, Streamlit Cloud, and much more.
Speaker: Alberto Danese is Head of Data Science & Advanced Analytics at Nexi, where he leads the development of machine learning products and data-driven solutions for the digital payments sector. He has more than 15 years of experience in data science and engineering and is a Kaggle Competitions Grandmaster. He often shares experiences and projects related to AI and data science through technical and managerial talks, as well as through his blog, *All About Data*.

CBusData: The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI
The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI
One does not simply build reports on OLTP data. Join us on an epic journey from the depths of raw, normalized tables to the shining halls of a well-modeled star schema fit for Power BI greatness. We will demystify the differences between OLTP and OLAP, walk through star schema vs snowflake (and why Power BI has a clear favorite), and show you the compression differences between normalized and columnar storage that will make you never look at an OLTP model the same way again.
We will cover the different types of dimensions, when to use them, and how to handle Slowly Changing Dimensions without losing your mind. You will leave knowing exactly how to identify a bad model, how to convert OLTP data into a clean star schema, and how to forge relationships that rule them all.
Whether you are a data wizard, a curious hobbit, or somewhere in between, your models will never be the same.
Data & Analytics Wednesday - The Data-Driven Brand
**The Data-Driven Brand: Using Analytics to Shape Perception**
Can you use analytics to improve tacos? This being CBUSDAW, we think the answer is probably “yes”, but we’re not sure how to implement or test this theory.
For our April meetup we’ve got Sara Kear, CMO of Condado Tacos, to investigate this delicious question. Sara will explore how she blends quantitative data and qualitative customer feedback to shape brand positioning and drive business decisions. We all know that marketing and analytics go way beyond attribution. Sara will show how Condado uses customer insights to inform product and pricing strategy.
She’ll also highlight how Condado leverages customer feedback at scale to influence operational priorities, positioning marketing as the voice of the customer across the organization. In the last 12 years Condado has gone from one location in Columbus to 52 locations across 10 states, so we’re guessing there’s more to that growth than really good guac (though the guac probably helps).
Ultimately, this talk focuses on the intersection of art and science—using data to inform creativity and build a brand that resonates with customers in a measurable way.
**About Our Speaker**
Sara Kear is Chief Marketing Officer at Condado Tacos, where she oversees brand, restaurant design, menu and pricing strategy, off-premise including catering, and customer data strategy. Since joining in 2021, she has helped grow the brand from 19 to 52 locations while building a data-driven marketing organization focused on loyalty and customer insights. Condado has since been named to the Inc. 5000, recognized as Breakout Retailer by Chain Store Age, and consistently ranked among FastCasual’s Top 100 Movers & Shakers.

\*\*NEW SPEAKER
\*Please note, that we will be using Microsoft Teams for the online portion of this meeting. You may want to join a few minutes early to ensure you do not have any issues. If you are attending in person, there are large TVs at the office, and you do not need to bring a laptop or use Teams.
Confidence & Connection: Using Your Authentic Truth to Find Your People
**Confidence & Connection: Using Your Authentic Truth to Find Your People**
Confidence isn’t just about believing in yourself, it’s about knowing where you belong and who you can grow alongside.
In this April Confidence Lab Happy Hour, we’ll explore how living in your authentic truth helps you find your people, build meaningful collaborations, and create spaces where vulnerability is met with respect rather than risk. Together, we’ll reflect on what it looks like to advocate for yourself with clarity and care, and how confidence deepens when it’s rooted in connection rather than comparison.
Featured speaker **Lachandra Baker**, founder of **[LBB Edutainment](https://www.lbbedutainment.com/)** and author of *Your Own Biggest Cheerleader*, will share reflections on authenticity, psychological safety, and the power of community over individual achievement. Drawing from personal stories—including the significance of turning 53—Lachandra will invite us into a conversation about showing up fully, being seen, and choosing relationships that support who you truly are.
Expect a warm, welcoming atmosphere with space for reflection, shared insight, and intentional connection—plus drinks, light bites, and the kind of conversations that remind you you’re not meant to do this alone.
Come as you are. Leave feeling clearer about your voice, your people, and the confidence that grows when both are aligned.
**What is Confidence Lab?**
Confidence Lab is a monthly community experience for bold, thoughtful leaders building confidence from the inside out. Whether you’re launching a business, leading a team, navigating change, or simply striving to show up more fully—you belong here.
Our work demands clarity, courage, and conviction—but the pace of daily life can erode our sense of self. Confidence Lab creates space to reflect, reconnect, and grow with others doing purpose-driven work.
It’s designed for entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, creatives, corporate professionals, activists, and anyone ready to lead with authenticity and impact.
***Please note:*** *All are welcome! If cost is a concern, please use promo code PUBLIC to access a free ticket—we want you to join us.*
