NUEVA FECHA!! ¡Buenas a todos! Anunciamos hoy un nuevo Meetup Presencial 🥳 Será el 18 de MARZO, así que pronto ¡nos vemos! Esta charla será sobre **Mitos y verdades de performance y experiencia de usuario.** Muchos desarrolladores web repiten máximas como “*los usuarios abandonan si el sitio tarda más de 4 segundos*”, “*todo tiene que ser above-the-fold*” o “*el diseño mobile-first es obligatorio*”, sin preguntarse de dónde vienen esas ideas ni si aplican a todos los contextos. En esta charla vamos a desarmar algunos de los mitos más instalados sobre performance y UX, contrastándolos con hallazgos de la investigación académica y analizando el rol que juegan grandes actores de la industria (*como Google y Amazon*) en la difusión de ciertas métricas y prioridades que también responden a sus propios intereses. A través de ejemplos concretos del ecosistema WordPress, vamos a explorar cómo estos supuestos impactan en la toma de decisiones técnicas, en la experiencia real de los usuarios y en los objetivos de negocio detrás de cada sitio. Te contamos los detalles del evento: 📅 FECHA: 18 de MARZO 2026 ⏰ HORA: 19:30hs 👤 PONENTE: Andrés Villarreal 📢 TEMA: Mitos y verdades de performance y experiencia de usuario ⚠️ Queremos dejar claro que: Los Meetups son gratuitos.

En este meetup de **Women in Cloud Argentina** nos encontramos en las oficinas de AWS para compartir una noche de **aprendizaje y networking**. Tendremos dos charlas breves que combinan **comunicación y tecnología**, dos habilidades clave para crecer en el mundo tech. Primero vamos a explorar herramientas concretas para **animarse a hablar en público y compartir ideas con confianza**. Luego nos vamos a meter en uno de los grandes desafíos actuales: **cómo evaluar correctamente sistemas de IA generativa** y entender si realmente funcionan. Después de las charlas tendremos un espacio de **networking entre las asistentes** para conocernos, intercambiar experiencias y seguir fortaleciendo la comunidad. ### **🎤 Hablar en público empieza por decir: ¡sí!** **Julieta Cane** Una charla sobre cómo dar el primer paso para compartir ideas en público: técnicas para hablar con seguridad, gestionar el miedo escénico y conectar con la audiencia. ### **🎤 Más allá del vibe check: cómo evaluar sistemas de IA generativa** **Martina Fernández Irungaray** Cómo saber si un sistema de IA generativa realmente funciona. Exploraremos métricas, evaluación automática y por qué esto es clave para pasar de prototipo a sistema confiable. 📍 **Evento presencial en oficinas de AWS** ⚠️ **Cupos limitados** Para poder ingresar al edificio es **obligatorio registrarse previamente en Meetup y enviarnos tus datos**. Solo podrán acceder las personas registradas.

So this month's prompt is more general. I think we can all agree that we are living in "unique" times that require coping skills. I think that one role and/or purpose of philosophy is to help us deal with our daily lives and our "unique" times. So, let's share our feelings and thoughts about which philosopher/philosophy we turn to in order to deal with our crazy events. Who/what helps you stay focused in your daily life and helps you sleep at night. I find that Stoicism with a little philosophical pessimism mixed in goes a long way in helping me deal with what I see as very destructive, fearful and mean spirited public policies at both the state and federal levels. Hope to see you on March 28th!

**New Dojo Location!** **Buffalo Wild Wings in Grandview** 968 W 5th Ave, Columbus, OH 43212 We're going to try a new dojo location for a few weeks and see how it works Dojos are informal Python group study sessions where everyone interested in Python gathers to learn about Python, help others with Python, or just hang out. Everyone is welcome from Python beginners to experts. Bringing a laptop is encouraged (we'll have extension cords and power strips). If there's something you want to learn leave a comment on this invite so we can plan ahead. We're looking for topic suggestions and people interested in presenting at our monthly meetings.

Let’s meet and discuss this fun but moving collection of wildly creative short stories. (Photo credit: TimesNowNews.com)

ASH is Atheists, Skeptics and Humanists of First Unitarian Universalists of Columbus Ohio TBD Snacks are usually available, and you are welcome to bringing something to share!

This is an in-person meeting. Did you know that unwanted emotions like loneliness, sadness, hopelessness, anger, fear, anxiety, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not chemical imbalance in your brain due to some nebulous chemical reactions by chance. Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you. The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life. For instance, let's say you are already carrying a huge load on your back, then you cannot take on much more, but, let's say something else happens to you, such as the difficulties from the Pandemic, then the resultant combined weight on you can take you over the edge, kind of like the straw that break the camel's back. When this happens, people's attention usually goes to the straw that was added, but actually the majority of the weight had come from the huge load that were already there, holding a person down and causing a person issues. So how do you remove the huge load that was already there? How do you lighten them up? Is it possible to get rid of them? That is what this meeting will be all about. Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations. If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!). **HOW IT WORKS** **Step 1: Bring a topic** Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event. **Step 2: Circle up & share** We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds. **Step 3: Walk, talk & float** We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!" **Step 4: Feel more alive** Two hours flies by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times. *For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)* **HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC** A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about. Recent topics include: * "What are you passionate about right now?" * "What makes a good friend?" * "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?" * "How do you want to be remembered?" * "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?" Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter. **WHAT TO EXPECT** This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.* But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here. **FAQ** * Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk! * We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space. * We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space. * Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know. * Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic! **LOGISTICS** * If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event. * This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile). This format works best when the whole group moves in unison. If you have mobility limitations, we kindly encourage you to find an event better suited to your needs. * Read our [Orientation Guide](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation) for full details. * If you enjoy the event, send **[this](http://www.theboardwalks.com/)** to a friend or sign up for our **[newsletter](https://theboardwalks.beehiiv.com/)**. We're in multiple cities with more on the way. 🤠👋 **IF YOU WANT TO GO DEEPER...** [The Board](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board) is the next step: a high-trust collective for renaissance people devoted to creating, connecting, and building lives that light us up. * This is a global HQ for people who crave big talk, deep connection, and dream collaborations with people across industries. If the walks feel like a spark... The Board is the fire. Apply [here](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board).
