**Español abajo 👇** ## WRITE CLUB — Escribir juntos, pensar juntos. Detalles Ever opened a blank document, stared at it for 40 minutes, and somehow ended up reorganizing your Spotify playlists instead? ✍️ Yeah. That's why this exists. What's happening: A group of strangers sits down together and writes. That's basically it. But also… not really. Sometimes it's creative writing. Stories. Poetry. Journaling. Random thoughts you haven't said out loud yet. Other weeks it's more practical: newsletters, posts, project ideas, applications, personal branding stuff, business writing, whatever you've been avoiding finishing. 💻 **At the beginning**, we share a small creative prompt or mini input. Something to get your brain moving. But nothing is strict here. You can follow the theme, or work on your own thing. You can write in your native language or one that you're learning. People help each other here. That's part of the idea. 🌍 And the important part: **you're not writing alone.** You can ask questions. Get feedback. Exchange ideas. Or just quietly sit with your coffee and finally focus for two hours without your phone destroying your attention span. 📱 At the end, whoever wants can read what they wrote. No pressure. Listening is also participating. **Who comes:** Writers. Overthinkers. Freelancers. Students. Entrepreneurs tired of working alone at home. People with thoughts too big for Instagram captions. Introverts who prefer writing before speaking. Travelers, locals, creatives, people with unfinished ideas living in their Notes app. ✍️ Basically: people looking for a different kind of connection. **The details:** 📍 TRUFFA café, Avenida Independencia 1854 🕓 Mondays \| 16:00 – 18:00 🎟 Participation: 5.000 ARS Bring your laptop, notebook, or chaotic Google Docs. Follow us on Instagram: [https://instagram.com/culture.shocktherapy](https://instagram.com/culture.shocktherapy) ## WRITE CLUB — Escribir juntos, pensar juntos. Detalles **English above 👆** ¿Alguna vez abriste un documento en blanco, te quedaste mirándolo durante 40 minutos y de alguna manera terminaste reorganizando tus playlists de Spotify? ✍️ Y sí. Por eso existe esto. Qué pasa: Un grupo de desconocidos se sienta a escribir juntos. Eso es básicamente todo. Peroooo... la verdad es que no. Algunas semanas hacemos escritura creativa. Historias. Poesía. Diario personal. Pensamientos random que todavía no dijiste en voz alta. Otras semanas es algo más práctico: newsletters, posteos, ideas para proyectos, aplicaciones, marca personal, escritura para negocios, o cualquier cosa que vienes evitando terminar. 💻 **Al comienzo** compartimos un pequeño disparador creativo o mini input. Algo para poner el cerebro en movimiento. Pero nada aquí es estricto. Puedes seguir la propuesta del día o trabajar en lo tuyo. Puedes escribir en tu idioma nativo o en uno que estés aprendiendo. La idea también es ayudarnos entre todos. 🌍 Y la parte importante: **no estás escribiendo solo.** Puedes hacer preguntas. Recibir feedback. Intercambiar ideas. O simplemente sentarte tranquilo con un café y finalmente concentrarte durante dos horas sin que el teléfono destruya tu capacidad de atención. 📱 **Al final**, quien quiera puede leer lo que escribió. Sin presión. Escuchar también es participar. **Quién viene:** Escritores. Nómades digitales. Overthinkers. Freelancers. Estudiantes. Emprendedores cansados de trabajar solos desde casa. Personas que piensan mejor escribiendo. Introvertidos que prefieren escribir antes que hablar. Viajeros, locales, creativos, gente con ideas sin terminar viviendo en sus notas del celular. ✍️ Básicamente: personas buscando una forma diferente de conectar. **Los detalles:** 📍 TRUFFA café, Avenida Independencia 1854 🕓 Lunes \| 16:00 – 18:00 🎟 Entrada: $5.000 Trae tu laptop, cuaderno o Google Docs caóticos.

Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs. In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD

This month, we’ll dive into the most important announcements from **Microsoft Build 2026**. Chad Green will present a curated, developer‑focused walkthrough of the new capabilities across .NET, Azure, AI, developer tooling, and platform updates. We’ll explore what these announcements mean for architects and developers, how they fit into real‑world solutions, and which changes you can start applying immediately in your projects. And then, Rob Richardson will present: ### **GitOps: Easy Deploy and Even Easier Rollback** GitOps isn't just for containers. The methodology of deploying from a build is now baked into our culture. Take it a touch farther with infrastructure as code and a few extra techniques, and you can reliably deploy to any platform: cloud, on-prem, container, PaaS, and more. Join us as we learn the methodology of GitOps, the critical pieces you need in place, and the elegance of rollbacks with GitOps. You'll leave with a working repo of deployment techniques that doesn't consume any paid tools or container-specific techniques. **Important:** To participate fully, please RSVP in **both** places: * **Louisville .NET Meetup** (this page) * **Microsoft Build //localhost:louisville registration**: [https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/reactor/events/27112/](https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/reactor/events/27112/) After the session, we’ll head to Brick House Tavern to continue the conversation over food and drinks.

Over a billion documents processed. Millions of Veterans impacted. Hundreds of thousands of employee hours saved. Faster decisions. Greater accuracy. More benefits in the hands of our disabled Veterans. We created Smart Search, the world’s largest consumer of Amazon Textract, right when GenAI began reshaping what’s possible. Since then, we’ve built a suite of AI‑driven solutions that transform this data into real, measurable outcomes—accelerating benefits decisions for our Nation’s Veterans. Join us for a focused conversation on how an outcome‑driven approach to AI is helping us boost accuracy, streamline workflows, and deliver faster results for those who have served.
