Lightning Components Development

Welcome to LGTM - Programming in the Age of LLMs! At this new meetup, we're going to discuss the human side of LLM coding – how AI tools affect the way we build software, how we collaborate and how we feel about the transformation of our craft. We'll also mingle & have fun! **• LLM-assisted coding - A Systems Perspective** ([Dragan Stepanović](https://bsky.app/profile/dstepanovic.bsky.social)).

This talk traces our iterative path from a hackathon prototype to a fully automated triage agent that investigates tickets before a human even opens them, shifting the job from "investigate" to "validate and decide“. About the speaker: Irmela is Engineering Manager at 1KOMMA5º, where she leads the teams building the Heartbeat app that helps customers track how their home energy system is optimized to always use the cleanest and cheapest electricity. • **When Code Gets Cheap: What Happens to Product Management?** ([Igor Bakman](https://www.linkedin.com/in/igor-bakman/)): When code gets cheap, choosing what to build becomes the hard part. This talk shares startup stories on how LLM coding is reshaping Product Management, engineering ownership, and the SDL About the speaker: Igor Bakman is a technology and product leader with 20+ years of experience building teams, platforms, and AI-enabled products across health tech, e-commerce, and other domains.

The longest day of the year is comming and let's another Kotlin meetup. This time we geather at N26! **⚠️⚠️⚠️ Due to a venue policy please submit the following form for additional details. Without it, you won't be allowed inside the venue:** https://forms.gle/XjqVXkD3FARCM6jA8 **Line-Up:** 👉 **TestBalloon: Kotlin testing is easier (and more fun) than you think** *by Oliver Okrongli* You want an easier way to write tests? Parameterize tests in plain Kotlin? Reuse a series of tests? Easily extend own your test setup? Have first-class support on all platforms? All without struggling with a huge framework API? TestBalloon is a new test framework that brings the power of Kotlin to your test setup. With a small-surface API, a hierarchical test structure and an extensible DSL, TestBalloon makes Kotlin testing easy, even at scale. Oliver, the author of TestBalloon, will show testing patterns and strategies and lots of practical examples, ranging from simple unit tests with less boilerplate to advanced testing with coroutines and generated data. This talk is based on insights first presented at KotlinConf 2026 in Munich. At the end of this talk, you’ll be able to firmly the answer the question: "How can I master Kotlin testing with ease, and make my team release with joy and confidence, every time?" 👉 **One Topic to Rule 'Em All** *by Yonatan Karp-Rudin* Kafka delivered every event exactly once, in order, and lost nothing. So what broke? This talk follows that question into the gap most event-driven systems leave open: what actually guarantees the order your domain depends on, and what quietly doesn't. We start from a real log line, find the crack in an architecture that looks clean and ships fast, and rule out the fix everyone reaches for first. The cure turns out to be one sentence of domain thinking plus one line of config, though the Schema Registry will fight you on the way there. A live demo runs the bug and the fix back to back: same load, same hero, one change. If you build with Kafka, you have probably shipped a version of this bug. You will leave able to spot it and fix it before it pages someone. 👉 **TBD** **Speaker Bios:** 🗣 Oliver Okrongli Oliver has been shaping and creating software from backend to frontends. He is the author of TestBalloon, a next-generation Kotlin test framework. Before, he has helped to maintain Kotest, and contributed to several libraries of the Kotlin ecosystem as well as the Kotlin compiler. Can be found on GitHub (OliverO2) and the kotlinlang Slack (Oliver O). When not developing, he is most probably in deep talks, dancing, snowboarding or F18 catamaran sailing whenever he gets a chance. 🗣 Yonatan Karp-Rudin Yonatan Karp-Rudin is a Staff Engineer at Billie, building event-driven systems in Kotlin and Spring Boot. Off the clock, he plays with AI agents and builds random tooling, trying to hand off as much of his own workflow to a machine as he can. The rest of the time he's brewing mead or deep in a video game. **🗣 TBD**

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

We are bringing Microsoft Build sessions to Columbus Ohio! The Central Ohio Azure Meetup and Central Ohio .NET Developer's Group (CONDG) are coming together to bring some of the labs and breakouts from Microsoft Build to your backyard. In this free, 1 day event, you are going to Build stuff with us! And yes, there will be free food. Please RSVP via [Microsoft Build //localhost:columbus | Microsoft Reactor](https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/reactor/events/27247/).

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!
