Open Coding Night
**Open Coding Night**
Ti va di allenarti con il TDD provando qualche Kata? Vuoi provare il *vibe coding*? Hai un progetto personale che non riesci mai a portare avanti? Oppure ti piacerebbe imparare Rust, Zig, Haskell o qualche altro linguaggio?
[>>> per trovare l'ufficio <<<](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1x-QSl6rp8vR8Zj9k58ntmzTlUtuCB7OY/view?usp=sharing)
**Open Coding Night** è un formato anti-procrastinazione libero e non limitato al solo TDD: ci si trova la sera insieme ad altre persone curiose e motivate, per finalmente dare spazio alle proprie idee e sperimentare.
**Come Partecipare**
Porta con te un’idea, un esercizio, un progetto o una tecnologia che vuoi provare. Troverai una scrivania e un monitor a tua disposizione per metterti subito all’opera.
Non hai un obiettivo preciso ma ti piace lasciarti guidare dalla serendipità? Nessun problema: puoi unirti a chi vuole condividere la propria attività e lavorare insieme.
**Programma**
* **19:00 – 21:30** meetup aperto
* **19:30** breve giro di presentazioni: chi c’è, cosa vuole fare, a cosa vuole aggregarsi
* **19:45 – 21:15**: focus time, ma siete liberi di muovervi, esplorare e fare domande in giro.
* **21:15** mini-retrospective su cosa è stato fatto
* Dalle **21:30** in poi, libertà totale: puoi tornare a casa o unirti a chi ha voglia di andare a cena insieme!

We are open to English speaking participants:
**Open Coding Night**
Do you feel like practicing TDD by trying out some Katas? Want to try vibe coding? Do you have a personal project you never manage to move forward? Or would you like to learn Rust, Zig, Haskell, or some other language?
**Open Coding Night** is an anti-procrastination format not limited only to TDD: you meet in the evening with other curious and motivated people to finally give space to your ideas and experiment.
**How to participate**
Bring an idea, an exercise, a project, or a technology you want to try. You’ll find a desk and a monitor at your disposal so you can get to work right away.
Don’t have a specific goal but enjoy being guided by serendipity? No problem: you can join those who want to share their activity and work together.
**Schedule**
* **19:00 – 21:30** open meetup
* **19:30** short round of introductions: who’s here, what they want to do, what they want to join
* **19:45 – 21:15:** focus time, but you’re free to move around, explore, and ask questions.
* **21:15** mini-retrospective on what was done
* From **21:30** onward, total freedom: you can go home or join those who feel like going out for dinner together!

## What we’re about
Buongiorno a tutti. Sono proprietario di un bar e dispongo di un tavolo da biliardo semi-professionale. Sto creando un gruppo WhatsApp di giocatori amatoriali di biliardo americano pool/carambola, per la maggior parte debuttanti. Cerco persone disposte a unirsi al gruppo per giocare e divertirsi nel tempo libero, il pomeriggio oppure la sera in ogni giorno. Per stimolare l'impegno di ogni giocatore, abbiamo pattuito che il vincitore di ogni "mini-torneo" organizzato nei vari giorni giochi gratis e non paghi la tariffa di tempo per il periodo di gioco (un'ora di gioco costa 10€, ma viene di volta in volta frazionata in base al periodo di gioco effettivo). Il locale si trova in zona nord di Milano, stazione Greco-Pirelli, università Bicocca. Chiunque dovesse essere davvero interessato a partecipare e unirsi al mio gruppo, non esiti a contattarmi. Cerco persone serie e disposte solamente a divertirsi, senza puntare mazzette grazie mille.

Architectural tests and fitness functions in practice
**Architectural tests and fitness functions in practice**
Perché, nonostante le buone intenzioni, l'architettura di un sistema tende a deteriorarsi nel tempo? Come possiamo evitare che il design perda la sua integrità man mano che il progetto evolve?
In questo meetup, esploreremo insieme come trasformare l’architettura da un concetto teorico a una realtà misurabile e protetta.
**Attraverso un mix di discussione attiva ed esempi pratici**, affronteremo insieme tre sfide cruciali :
* **Guard rail** : Come possiamo implementare vincoli automatici che mantengano il controllo sull'architettura direttamente nella pipeline
* **Consapevolezza** : Come assicurarsi che le scelte architetturali siano condivise e comprese da tutto il team, evitando l'accumulo di "debito decisionale"?
* **Monitoraggio** : È possibile misurare oggettivamente il deterioramento strutturale e intervenire prima che il costo del cambiamento diventi insostenibile?
Vi aspettiamo per mettere a confronto le nostre esperienze e scoprire come utilizzare Architectural Tests e Fitness Functions per preservare la salute del software nel tempo

I LOGS NON MENTONO ...ma a volte confondono!
Ti è mai capitato di avere tutto sotto controllo… e comunque non capire cosa stava succedendo?
Benvenuto nel mondo moderno: microservizi, eventi, pipeline, e una valanga di dati che promettono chiarezza.
Spoiler: non basta.
Search, observability e open source condividono lo stesso obiettivo: trasformare dati grezzi in qualcosa che abbia senso, e il farlo mentre il sistema cambia, scala, e a volte ...si rompe.
Non è (solo) una questione di tool. È capire come leggere, collegare e interpretare quello che abbiamo davanti.
Da qui partiamo.
**Agenda** (in aggiornamento)
* 18:30 – 18:45 Arrivo e Check-In
* 18:45 - 19:15 **Le architetture di observability sembrano sempre perfette… finché non le metti in produzione *(Fabio Marzotti)***
* 19:15 - 19:40 **SBOM, SBAM: chi ha messo questo nel mio codice? Sicurezza della supply chain software di livello enterprise, a budget zero (Maurizio Argoneto)**
* 19:45 - 20:00 **Community slot**
* 20:00 - 20:30 **Networking & Q&A**
* 20:30 Fine meetup
**Le architetture di observability sembrano sempre perfette… finché non le metti in produzione.**
*Quando i dati aumentano, i tenant si moltiplicano e ogni team ha esigenze diverse, iniziano le vere sfide: isolamento, governance, costi, affidabilità. È qui che molte architetture, anche ben progettate, possono cedere.*
*In questo talk partiremo da un caso reale per vedere cosa succede dopo: come si costruisce (e si mantiene) a livello di gruppo una piattaforma di observability, basata su **OpenSearch, fork open source di Elasticsearch e Kibana**, capace di gestire cluster distribuiti, carichi eterogenei e scenari multi-tenant senza perdere controllo.*
*Vedremo cosa comporta davvero uscire da **Splunk** in un contesto enterprise: non solo come migrare, ma quando ha senso farlo, quali compromessi accettare e dove si nascondono i costi reali.*
*Infine, sposteremo il focus dall’infrastruttura al suo utilizzo: come rendere logs, metrics e traces parte di un sistema coerente che supporti troubleshooting, affidabilità e operatività quotidiana, non solo dashboard.*
***Fabio Marzotti - Group log management & observability@Nexi Italy*** *è un IT Manager con ampia esperienza in ambito observability, automation, telemetry, log management e data streaming. Esperto nella progettazione e gestione di piattaforme di enterprise monitoring, con una solida background in system architecture e operations in contesti finanziari su larga scala.*
**SBOM, SBAM: chi ha messo questo nel mio codice? Sicurezza della supply chain software di livello enterprise, a budget zero.**
*Il software moderno non viene più solo scritto: viene assemblato. Quasi il 90% di una tipica applicazione è composto da librerie di terze parti. Se domani venisse resa pubblica una vulnerabilità critica come Log4Shell, quanto tempo impiegherebbe il tuo team a identificare tutti i microservizi impattati?*
*Mentre le grandi aziende si affidano spesso a costose licenze “Ultimate”, PMI, team indipendenti e realtà con budget limitati rischiano di trovarsi esposti a un pericoloso gap di sicurezza.*
*In questa sessione esploreremo come democratizzare la **Software Supply Chain Security** costruendo un perimetro di difesa automatizzato senza costi di licenza.*
*Attraverso **una demo basata su un prototipo Docker,** analizzeremo un’architettura concreta che integra:*
* ***GitLab Community Edition*** *per l’orchestrazione delle pipeline;*
* ***Trivy*** *e **cdxgen** per la generazione automatica di SBOM, **Software Bill of Materials**, in formato **CycloneDX**;*
* ***OWASP Dependency-Track*** *per il monitoraggio continuo e proattivo delle vulnerabilità.*
*Andremo oltre il semplice vulnerability scanning, mostrando come **sfruttare l’intelligenza artificiale per l’analisi della raggiungibilità del codice** e per generare file **VEX**, **Vulnerability Exploitability eXchange**, utili a ridurre i falsi positivi e concentrare l’attenzione solo sui rischi realmente azionabili.*
*Infine, discuteremo come questo stack possa aiutare le organizzazioni a prepararsi ai requisiti del prossimo **EU Cyber Resilience Act**, CRA.*
**Maurizio Argoneto: AWS Hero \| CTO/Solution Architect \| Community Lead \(AWS\, GDG\, PLUG\) \| Co\-founder of 'Come To Code'**
Maurizio promuove da oltre dieci anni cultura Open Source, community tech e innovazione digitale nei territori. Il suo lavoro unisce competenze cloud, architetturali e community leadership, con l’obiettivo di rendere l’innovazione accessibile anche fuori dai grandi hub tecnologici.
C'è sempre nei nostri incontri un **community slot**, uno spazio dedicato agli interventi della community per raccontare un problema risolto in produzione, portare un tema tecnico su cui stai lavorando oppure condividere una domanda architetturale da discutere insieme.
E, come in ogni meetup che vuole diventare una community vera, c'è spazio ampio per **Q&A, confronto aperto e networking**: perché spesso le soluzioni migliori nascono proprio dalle conversazioni informali tra persone che affrontano sfide simili.
Sei benvenuta/io anche se non hai mai usato OpenSearch!

🎾 Milan Startup Padel – Founders & Rebels #28
*This club is for founders, VCs, operators, and startup ecosystem players — past, present, and future.*
Padel is one of those games you can pick up at any point in your life and immediately enjoy. You don't need to be fit, you don't need a background in racket sports, you just need to show up. The court is small enough that nothing feels out of reach, and the glass walls do half the work for you.
What makes it special is that you actually talk while you play. Between points, during rallies, after a shot that somehow worked — there's a natural rhythm to padel that makes conversation easy. You get to know your partner in a way that just doesn't happen sitting across a table.
We had a rally once that went on so long everyone stopped caring who won the point. That's kind of the spirit of the whole thing.
**🎯 What to Expect**
**Two courts, at least 8 players** — we rotate and run mini-tournaments when numbers allow. All levels, always.
**Real conversations** — with your partner, between points, after the game. No agenda.
**Competitive but Chill** — good plays, better laughs, and a rematch culture. 🔄
**💸 €15 per person** — pay before the game: [paypal.me/alexbing2](paypal.me/alexbing2) Paying upfront keeps the courts full and the group reliable. No last-minute ghosts. Arrive 15 minutes early to warm up and meet people.
**⚠️ Cancellation Policy**
Cancel at least 2 days before if you can't make it — someone on the waiting list will be very happy to take your spot. No-shows without notice lose their €15 deposit and get moved to the waiting list for future events.
p.s. If you don't see so many players registered on Meetup, you can check another channel - Luma [https://luma.com/7mpaamku](https://luma.com/7mpaamku)
Clay & Glow — Earrings + Resin Jewelry Dish Workshop 29.05
A little time for you, your hands, and people who get your vibe.
In this hands-on workshop, you’ll design and create your own pair of polymer clay earrings — playful, bold, or minimal, totally your call — and craft a resin jewelry dish for your nightstand, the perfect home for your everyday pieces.
No experience needed. Just show up, slow down, and let your creativity do its thing.
This is more than a workshop — it’s a space to meet like-minded women, share a relaxed moment, and reconnect with your creative side (the one that usually gets lost between to-do lists).
We’ll guide you step by step, but you’ll have full freedom to experiment, mix colors, and create pieces that actually feel like you.
And yes — there’s a little aperitivo, because good conversations (and good ideas) need fuel.
What you’ll create:
A pair of handmade polymer clay earrings
A resin jewelry dish for your bedside or vanity
Where: Kookie LAB
Vibe: relaxed, creative, social (but not awkward)
Come alone or bring a friend — either way, you won’t feel like the odd one out.
✨ All materials included
✨ Duration: 2 hours
✨ Language: English

Ensuring Software Quality in the world of AI Developers - Matt Eland
**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
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
Like it or not, AI agents are now capable of turning a quickly written paragraph of requirements into a pull request that is ready to be integrated into real-world production applications and it's now our responsibility to make sure AI doesn't go rogue and take down prod - or corrupt our data by misunderstanding the requirements or our existing schemas. In this session we'll explore strategies to protect our codebases through unit and integration testing, documentation, and code review along with additional ways of providing context and guard rails to our AI agents as they carry out the work we've assigned them to do. By the time we're done, you'll have a firm grasp of the problem and understand some helpful options for protecting your codebase from vibe coding mishaps getting YOLOed into prod.

[Nathan Leiberman: Tailwind CSS: The Perfect Wingman for Frontend Projects] #12
Join us for **[Nathan Leiberman](https://www.linkedin.com/in/nathan-richard-lieberman/)**'s talk ...
Had enough of writing the same flex classes for the hundredth time? Tired of diving into your coworker’s cobbled container class? Tailwind CSS is here to save your sanity.
Tailwind gives you a well-organized, utility-first approach to styling. This CSS framework eliminates naming debates, halts stylesheet scavenger hunts, and satisfies your marketing team’s whims with clear, composable class names and a powerful configuration system. You’ll spend less time fighting CSS and more time building beautiful interfaces.
In this talk, I’ll walk through an interactive demo of Tailwind CSS and cover the following topics:
* Set up Tailwind CSS in your project
* Understand Tailwind’s utility classes and how they work
* Integrate breakpoints and dark mode like a pro
* Customizing Tailwind to fit your style
Ditch your spaghetti stylesheets and come see how Tailwind CSS can make your project lighter, cleaner, and a lot more fun to build. Your future self will thank you.
***Bring your laptop and expect to write some (non-AI generated) code!***
Food and drinks will be available.

Prompting Is Not Magic: How to Give AI Better Context
Most people use AI like a search box: they type one sentence, hope for the best, and get frustrated when the answer is generic, wrong, or useless.
But getting better results from tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and other AI systems is not about memorizing magic prompts. It is about learning how to give the AI better context.
In this beginner-friendly session, we’ll break down how to make AI dramatically more useful by improving the way you communicate with it. You’ll learn how to give clearer instructions, provide examples, set constraints, ask for better output formats, and use follow-up questions to turn a mediocre answer into a genuinely useful one.
We’ll cover practical techniques you can use immediately for work, learning, writing, coding, planning, research, and everyday problem solving. We’ll also touch on why these same ideas show up in more advanced AI systems, including RAG, agents, evaluations, and AI workflows.
No technical background required. Bring your curiosity, your questions, and maybe one real task you wish AI was better at helping you with.
**What you’ll learn:**
* Why “better prompting” is really about better context
* How to structure requests so AI gives more useful answers
* How to use examples, constraints, and output formats
* How to iterate when the first answer is not good enough
* How these skills connect to more advanced AI workflows
This meetup is for anyone who wants to move beyond basic ChatGPT usage and start getting more practical value out of AI.
LOGISTICS AND PARKING:
The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks!
