Human vs Machine – Hands-On Workshop
Human vs Machine – Hands-On Workshop
Following up our last meetup "LLM Coding Agent and Effect On Teams" we go hands on this time. **Human vs Machine – Hands-On Workshop** Who's actually in charge when you're coding with AI? In this 2-hour hands-on lab, you'll find out — by living it. Each group picks a LLM working mode and runs with it. All groups tackle the same coding kata. The kata is intentionally hard. You probably won't finish it — and that's the point. We'll pause, reflect, and get into it: \* Where did AI help? \* Where did it get in the way? \* What did you actually learn? Bring 👨🏻‍💻 your laptop your preferred 📟 code language your 📢 opinions AND your ready to use 🧠 AI tool.

In Person Event: The Secrets to Mental Health
In Person Event: The Secrets to Mental Health
Mental Health, how do you understand it? How can you improve it? How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went? Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence? Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp. This group is hosted by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
