Infrastructure as Code

Join us in the search for the true, the good and the beautiful. Each meet is in one of two formats: a shared reading and open discussion of philosophical texts, or a continuing series of lectures based on the reading of a fascinating book of philosophy. Both formats are in Hebrew, with some reading of English texts, assisted whenever needed. We meet weekly Friday on 80 Rokach Boulevard, Tel Aviv, at the gardens of the Council for a Beautiful Israel. Welcome anyone interested in understanding life more deeply, regardless of age or prior knowledge. The love of wisdom is enough. Please join our WhatsApp group: https://chat.whatsapp.com/JeAa2uRNTlF0rdrVTLzUC0?mode=wwt Note: there's always enough sitting room, but some of it is on the grass or a mat on the floor. If you want to guarantee yourself a chair, please bring one with you. Sapere Aude! (Kant's Motto: Dare to Think!)

How do large tech companies get thousands of engineers to actually adopt AI, not just experiment with it? Not just through top-down mandates, but through guilds, task forces and communities that create momentum from within. Join us for an event where engineering leaders who've done this share their playbooks so that you can do it too. **This meetup is hosted by HoneyBook Engineering and Glue.** —---- **Agenda:** 17:45 - 18:30 - Food, drinks and mingling 18:30 - 20:00 - **Hadar Bismut** \| AI Communities & Guilds Builder\, Glue *Making AI stick: How Guilds and Communities Drive AI Adoption from Within* **Daniel Kidon** \| Backend Guild Lead\, HoneyBook *Build the Road Before the Car: How Guilds Turn AI Chaos into Momentum* **Netanel Abergel** \| Director of R&D\, monday\.com; **Sergei Safrigin** \| Software Engineer\, Tech Lead\, monday\.com *From AI-Assisted to AI-Native: When Agents Become Teammates* **Asaf Bruner** \| Engineering Group Manager\, SAP *Building a Digital Brain: From AI-Ready Repos to Agents in Daily Work* **Lihi Kab** \| Sr\. Technical Program Manager\, HiBob *From Guild to Impact: Using AI Communities to Shorten the SDLC* 20:30 - More drinks and mingling! The talks will be delivered in Hebrew. —---- **Making AI stick: How Guilds and Communities Drive AI Adoption from Within - Hadar Bismut, Glue** How can organizations support their teams in adopting AI, and not just deploy tools and random use cases that don’t really move the needle on velocity or SDLC? Hadar Bismut, Founder of Glue, will map the community structures that make AI adoption stick: from AI Champions and AI communities to engineering and AI guilds, and why the most lasting change grows from real employee needs, not top-down decisions. This session sets the stage for the four case studies that follow. **Build the Road Before the Car: How Engineering Guilds Turn AI Chaos into Momentum - Daniel Kidon, Backend Guild Lead, HoneyBook** When "AI is the big bet," most companies don't get clarity first, they get scatter. Prototypes everywhere, competing approaches, no shared foundation. Daniel Kidon, Backend Guild Lead at HoneyBook, will share how their Engineering Guild built a cross-functional AI task force that shipped a standardized AI platform and working MVP in six weeks, before the product had a single final use case. **Building a Digital Brain: From AI-Ready Repos to Agents in Daily Work - Asaf Bruner, Engineering Group Manager, SAP** In large engineering orgs, AI creates real impact when it's grounded in product context, not just code completion. Asaf Bruner, Engineering Group Manager at SAP Labs Israel, will share how SAP’s AI Guild built a “Digital Brain” across multiple products: making repos AI-ready, connecting them into shared semantic context, and embedding agents into daily workflows. Expect architectural choices, what failed, and what they changed mid-flight. **From Guild to Impact: Using AI Communities to Shorten the SDLC - Lihi Kab, Sr. Technical Program Manager, HiBob** What happens when you stop optimizing individual tasks with AI and rethink the entire delivery lifecycle instead? Lihi Kab, Sr. Technical Program Manager at HiBob, will share how an AI-powered Product Guild broke the SDLC into phases, matched each with the right AI tools, and found where AI truly accelerates delivery, through community-led experimentation, not top-down rollouts. **From AI-Assisted to AI-Native: When Agents Become Teammates - Netanel Abergel, Director of R&D and Sergei Safrigin, Software Engineer, Tech Lead, monday** At monday.com, AI agents are teammates - each with a name, a role, and a team. They join engineering squads, get assigned monday items, reply in Slack threads, ship features to production, review PRs on GitHub, and monitor what they shipped. Netanel and Sergei will share how monday's AI Champions scaled the Builders organization from AI-assisted to AI native teams - where agents and humans work side by side. —---- See you soon!

Bring your Raspberry Pi, Arduino, microcontroller, or any other electronic project and join fellow electronics makers for a night of creativity and collaboration! This session is open forum to share your current projects—whether complete or in progress, it’s all interesting! Whether you’re deep into embedded systems, exploring new ideas, or just getting started, you’ll find a welcoming space to collaborate, share, and get inspired. **New to electronics or curious about tinkering?** You’re absolutely welcome. If you’re a beginner and want to experiment, I’ll have a couple of starter kits available so you can try things out—whether that’s blinking your first LED, putting something on a display, or experimenting with simple sensors. No pressure and no experience required—just an interest in learning and building. While we continue to pursue a more permanent venue for this Meetup, we’ll be using public library facilities based on availability.

**Improving Office in Franklinton** Physical location: Improving Office 330 Rush Alley Suite #150 Columbus, OH 43215 Schedule: 6:00 p.m.: Socialize, eat, and drink.

We meet on the last Monday of each Month. Presentations are given by members and friends of this group. If you would like to do a presentation (small or large) on a python topic, please contact Central OH Python at centralohpython@gmail.com

Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you! **What to Expect at the Intro Circle** \~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~ Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup: * Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics Round 1 - (7 secs max): * Your name * What you're working on * What you can help others with Round 2: * Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too. Round 3: * Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool. After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!
