Welcome back to Codeaholics in May! This time we have brought 2 interesting talks. Talk 1: **Introduction to the Ash Framework, Why I like it: efficiency in delivery** Speaker: Angy Lemaire Three years ago I stopped enjoying coding. Elixir and Ash reignited that joy because they make delivery faster, more predictable, and more confident. This talk walks through **4 delivery efficiency levers** built into Ash: centralized resources, resource-backed forms, explicit policies, and native multitenancy. Each lever reduces complexity, eliminates duplication, and moves feature work from glue code to business logic. Talk 2: **TrustedServer: Building the Zero-Trace VPN Infrastructure** Speaker: Marco A. Gutierrez, ExpressVPN Traditional VPN servers, relying on hard drives, inherently risk retaining sensitive user data, leaving it vulnerable to seizure, unauthorized access, or the persistent installation of malicious backdoors. This session introduces **TrustedServer Technology**, a fundamental shift in VPN server architecture designed to eliminate these vulnerabilities and establish a new standard for user privacy. Honourable Mention: **Rustacean Meetup Group** for helping us faciliate!

**✨ Real One-on-One Rounds Online for Burnaby Singles Done Swiping** As a participant, you'll experience quick private Zoom rounds with Burnaby singles matched to you by age and personality, as a friendly host guides every transition. Once you register, you fill in a quick matching survey — your personality profile from that quiz to curate your Burnaby matches by quiz results and age, meaning your rounds are curated and not random. After the session closes, mutual match details are distributed — contact details flow only on mutual selection — and what happens next is entirely up to you. **Age-grouped registration — select yours:** - **Ages 18-32** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=537.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Burnaby&groupurlname=the-collective-for-intentional-social-growth&ar=18-32&face_v=4.0) - **Ages 30-46** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=537.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Burnaby&groupurlname=the-collective-for-intentional-social-growth&ar=30-46&face_v=4.0) - **Ages 40-58** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=537.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Burnaby&groupurlname=the-collective-for-intentional-social-growth&ar=40-58&face_v=4.0) - **Ages 55+** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=537.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Burnaby&groupurlname=the-collective-for-intentional-social-growth&ar=55+&face_v=4.0) **⚠️ Heads up:** Your rsvp here is not a registration confirmation, so select your bracket link, complete the registration form, and finish the personality quiz — places are capped so do this promptly, and your spot is held only when both steps are done. --- **What to expect** 1. **Grab your spot** – via your age group registration link, then complete the short matching survey, as both steps are required and neither can be skipped. 2. **Log in** – using the video link shared before the session, any device with a camera and mic is all you need, and round management is all on the host from there. 3. **Date** – short Zoom speed dating rounds with Burnaby area singles in your age range, as the host signals round starts and ends, because the format is built so every round is worth having. 4. **See your results** – after the event you will receive any mutual match details, and only confirmed mutual matches receive each other's contact details, and everything from that point is on your schedule. **Best suited to:** - People within Burnaby wanting to escape matches that fade out before meeting and want to meet real locals without the faff. - Singles calling Burnaby home moving beyond dating apps that go nowhere and are serious about meeting someone. - Someone based in Burnaby wanting to escape conversations that fizzle before a first date and are ready for a genuine first impression. ⭐ *"Not what I expected at all — better than every app I have tried"* – Burnaby local who came sceptical 💡 **Good to know:** check your Zoom setup in advance, because good audio is just as important as good video, and the host handles everything else from that point. --- ✨ Real conversations from home — register via your age group link and we will set the rest up for you in your own time. Can not wait to see you there. 💘 ✨
