Coding with AI: the last 3 months - Matteo Vaccari
Per il mese di Marzo accogliamo nuovamente un ospite speciale, a un anno esatto dall'ultimo intervento fatto per noi. Esponente di spicco del movimento Agile ed XP in italia, membro storico del gruppo di *eXtreme Programming Milano* : **Matteo Vaccari**.
Portandoci *"Coding with AI: the last 3 month"* ci racconta le novità che ha esplorato e sperimentato negli ultimi mesi sul coding con l'AI.
\- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \-
**Abstract**
La programmazione assistita dall'IA si sta evolvendo rapidamente. Negli ultimi mesi sono emerse due tendenze: lo spec-driven development, ovvero la stesura di piani dettagliati prima della implementazione, e l'harness engineering, ovvero l'utilizzo di test, linter e controlli automatizzati per mantenere l'IA sulla strada giusta. Parlerò di questi trend e della nostra esperienza recente applicandoli a una codebase reale dove vogliamo (a) non scrivere mai codice a mano e (b) ottenere codice di alta qualità
**Bio**
Extreme programmer, Thoughtworker, trainer, coach and software developer. Deeply interested in what makes teams and companies successful beyond expectations! Any opinion expressed are my own.
\- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \-

His focus is on Data in Motion, designing scalable solutions that enable real-time intelligence and customer experiences. He has deep expertise in cloud-native platforms, ecosystem integrations, and legacy modernization.
💡 **Third Session: Compute Smarter: A Practical Guide to EC2 Performance & Cost Optimization** Gianluca Vegetti, Enterprise Architect, AWS & Nati Cohen, Solutions Architect, AWS will offer a hands-on guide to optimizing Amazon EC2 for both performance and cost. Using real customer and partner examples, we'll explore how to choose the right processor (Graviton, AMD, or Intel) based on workload needs, and how small architectural decisions can unlock significant efficiency gains.You'll learn:
* How to select the right EC2 processor for common workloads using simple, repeatable decision criteria
* Proven optimization patterns that deliver 20-80% improvements in price-performance
* A practical benchmarking and migration approach to validate changes with low risk
You'll leave with concrete strategies, decision frameworks, and implementation tips you can immediately apply to help customers run EC2 workloads more efficiently, without overengineering or guesswork.

Brunch in palette: alla scoperta dell'armocromia!
Colori, chiacchiere e… brunch! ☕
Hai mai sentito parlare di armocromia o sei semplicemente curiosə di capire quali colori ti valorizzano davvero?
In questo evento ti guiderò alla scoperta dell’armocromia: una disciplina che aiuta a scegliere le tonalità più adatte a noi per apparire più freschi, luminosi e autentici — nel modo più naturale possibile.
✨ Cosa ti aspetta?
• una prima parte di workshop con spiegazione semplice e pratica dei principi base (stagioni, sottotoni, armonie)
• una analisi flash personalizzata per individuare la tua palette ideale
• consigli concreti per usare i colori giusti ogni giorno: abbigliamento, accessori, capelli (e make-up, se ti va)
Dopo il workshop, ci sposteremo su una seconda parte più rilassata: brunch e chiacchiere insieme, per condividere domande, curiosità e continuare a parlare di colori… con qualcosa di buono davanti
Il tutto in un locale accogliente, in orario brunch: una mattinata lenta tra profumo di caffè, piatti buoni, colori e nuove scoperte.
Perché sì, si impara meglio con qualcosa di buono tra le mani
Ogni consumazione sarà a carico del partecipante: si potrà scegliere liberamente cosa ordinare dal menu del locale
L’evento è aperto a tuttə, uomini e donne, senza alcuna esperienza richiesta: solo voglia di stare bene, fare un brunch insieme e scoprire come piccoli dettagli possono fare una grande differenza.
Vieni per il brunch, resta per scoprire quali colori ti fanno brillare.
**NOTA IMPORTANTE!**
La tua partecipazione sarà confermata solo dopo il ricevimento della quota tramite PayPal (scegliendo l’opzione “Amici e parenti”). La quota include l’accesso all’evento e una consulenza flash personalizzata di armocromia.
Per qualsiasi dubbio o chiarimento, scrivimi pure in chat! 🙂
Road to HACK: Fine-Tune Your Own AI Model | Hands-On Workshop
Large language models are impressive out of the box — but they hallucinate, they're generic, and they need the cloud.
What if you could take a small open-source model and turn it into a domain expert that runs on your own hardware?
That's exactly what we're doing in this hands-on workshop.
**[Luca Massaron](https://www.linkedin.com/in/lmassaron/)** — data scientist, bestselling AI author, 3x Kaggle Grandmaster, and Google Developer Expert — will walk you through a complete fine-tuning pipeline from scratch: evaluate a base model, generate synthetic training data, fine-tune with QLoRA, and measure the improvement. All on consumer-grade hardware.
By the end of the session, you'll have a repeatable playbook for making small models punch way above their weight in any domain you care about.
**What you'll work through:**
Baseline evaluation of a pre-trained model → Synthetic dataset generation from real sources → Supervised fine-tuning with QLoRA (parameter-efficient, memory-friendly) → Post-training evaluation to measure the knowledge gain → **Bonus:** fine-tuning for classification tasks (sentiment analysis)
**What to bring:**
**Your laptop**. The workshop runs on Google Colab (free T4 GPU tier), so no fancy hardware required — just a browser and a Google account. If you have a machine with an NVIDIA GPU (16GB+ VRAM) or an Apple Silicon Mac (16GB+ unified memory), you can run everything locally too.
**This event is part of Road to HACK — the official warm-up series for [GDG AI HACK 2026](https://gdgaihack.com/).**
On May 8–10, 160 selected participants will compete in a 24-hour AI hackathon in Milan, with tracks spanning on-device AI, vision AI, and EdTech.
Fine-tuning is one of the most directly applicable skills you can bring to the hack.
Applications for GDG AI HACK 2026 are open **until April 17 →** [gdgaihack.com](https://gdgaihack.com/)

🏐🏝️ Milan Sunday Indoor Beach Volleyball | Casual | Mixed Low-Intermediate
**Limited spots!**
**1\. ℹ️ This is a regular game day for CURRENT members of our volleyball team\.**
**If you're NEW** and interested in joining, please reach out first, **do not RSVP.** From time to time, if we have extra space, we may invite a small number of new players to join as **guests** for that week.
At the moment, the group is **at capacity**, so we are **not accepting new regular members** unless invited at a later time.
**2.** Please RSVP by **Saturday** and only confirm if you can truly commit. We’re not able to accept unconfirmed drop-ins or show-ups at the court, and it’s best not to rely on the waitlist, as last-minute spots are not always possible to fill.
**What to expect:** we’re a casual, low-intermediate group. Most of us have played before, but this is not a training session or a highly structured game setup.
The goal is simply to have fun, stay active, and enjoy good games together.
* Casual 5v5 or 4v4
* We warm up first, then teams will be assigned on court
* Court: covered
* Arrive 10 minutes early so we can start on time
**Important:**
* If you’re looking for a more competitive or structured volleyball setup, these regular games may not be the best fit. You’re welcome to organize separate sessions with others or reach out to Ellie 🤞
* Please be respectful and kind: arrive on time, rotate when asked, and keep a team-first attitude so everyone gets a good run.

From Web Forms to Web Components - Burton Smith
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
**Abstract**
Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively.
This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way.
