Meetup #16: API Design & Single-Header Libraries
This month, we'll have a recorded talk, followed by discussion, on API design and single-header libraries. How should we structure and program libraries to impose as few usage constraints as possible? We’ll look at [the STB libraries](https://github.com/nothings/stb) and other examples as case studies.
We're still at the West End Library - see the location in the sidebar for details.
**Agenda:**
\- 2pm \- 3pm: Library discussion
\- 3pm \- 4pm: Open\-ended discussions\, presentations\, etc\.
\- 4pm \- whenever: We'll go get food nearby\!
**What we do**
Presentations on lower-level, foundational programming topics, ethical software, knowledge sharing, mentoring, and discussion.
**Who we are:**
We are all about handmade software. Rather than focus on frameworks, heavy abstractions, and buzzwords - we typically create projects or research topics that build an understanding of foundational computing concepts, essential data structures, and hardware/software interaction.
**What to bring?**
Bring a laptop, project, or just a curious mind. If you're not sure you're ready to contribute, don't worry: we're all here to share our passions and hone our craft.
**If you arrive late:**
Please enter the room quietly as to not disrupt anyone that is presenting. You can take any empty seat.

**Host's Philosophy on this event:**
The purpose of this meetup is to create a fun and supportive environment where we can improve our skills, enjoy competitive games, and connect socially. While we do aim to play seriously and challenge ourselves, the focus is more on growth and enjoyment than simply winning at all costs. That’s why the title doesn’t include “competitive” or “social”—we want a healthy mix of both. This is a space where you won’t be judged for making mistakes, but we do expect a mindset geared toward learning and getting better over time. That said, this group isn’t intended for total beginners; a basic understanding of the game is expected so that everyone can contribute to meaningful and engaging matches. The host holds the right to remove you from the game if they believe that you are at a C level.
**Skill Level:**

The AGI Transition: How AI Affects Work and Life
To help us estimate attendance and to see the venue address, please RSVP on Luma!: https://luma.com/af0yjzz6
*A free, public workshop—no technical background needed*
Artificial intelligence is no longer just getting better at narrow tasks—it’s beginning to look *general*. Many researchers believe we’re entering the early stages of the **AGI transition**: a period where AI systems start to match or exceed human abilities across a wide range of domains.
This workshop explores what AGI actually means, how to think about it intuitively (without hype or jargon), and what this transition could mean for your job, your relationships, and your day-to-day life—much sooner than most people expect.
Together, we’ll explore questions like:
**What is AGI?**
How do experts define artificial general intelligence, and how is it different from today’s AI tools?
**Work & Jobs:**
Which kinds of jobs are already being automated or transformed—and which ones experts believe are most likely to remain resilient?
**Human Connection:**
How is AI starting to replace or supplement roles once filled by coworkers, friends, tutors, therapists, and companions?
**Robots & the Physical World:**
What happens when advanced AI is paired with rapidly improving robotics—and which parts of the economy could change next?
**What you’ll get:**
* A clear, beginner-friendly explanation of AGI and why it matters
* Real-world examples of how AI is already reshaping work and social life
* Live demos that highlight both impressive capabilities and emerging risks
* Interactive discussion and exercises to test your own intuitions about the future
Come ready to grapple with one of the biggest transitions humanity may ever face—a shift that could redefine not just how we work, but how we relate to each other, find meaning, and navigate a world increasingly shaped by intelligent machines.
Beavers, Brews, & Big Dills: Touch Rugby Kickoff!
Alright Beavers, it’s time to emerge from the lodge and get back on the pitch! Practice is officially back this week, and we’re capping off the first week with a session that is—quite literally—a big deal.
We’ll start with a **fun touch session** to shake off the rust and work on our ball handling. After we’ve built up a proper thirst, we’re heading straight to **Audacious Alewerks** for a post-practice social.
**Why you shouldn't miss it:** It happens to be **Pickle Day** at the brewery! Since we’re Beavers, we usually stick to wood, but this Saturday we’re making an exception for some fermented cucumbers.
**The Game Plan:**
* **Touch Rugby:** Fast-paced, low-contact, high-fun. 🏉
* **The Weather:** Looks like it will be a wonderful warm and sunny day!
* **The After-Party:** We’re heading to Audacious Alewerks in Falls Church.
* **The Goods:** They are bringing back the **"Kind of a Big Dill" Pickle Gose Ale**. If beer isn't your thing, they’ve got **pickle martinis**.
* **The Grub:** **Bad Ass Pickles** will be there from Noon–4:00 PM doing tasting flights. Word on the street is they go great with grilled cheese.
**The Details:**
* **When:** This Saturday, March 7th.
* **Where:** Larry Graves Park then Audacious Alewerks.
* **RSVP:** Do it now.
Let’s kick the season off right. See you on the pitch!

Quarterly Goals Reset for Product Professionals
One of the most valuable parts of this community is the opportunity to think out loud with other product professionals. This session is built for exactly that.
As we wrap up the quarter, it’s a great time to pause and reflect. What’s on track? What needs adjustment? Where could a small shift create bigger impact?
Join fellow product professionals for a focused, interactive conversation designed to help you recalibrate for the next quarter. You’ll have the opportunity to share where you are, hear how others are thinking through similar challenges, and gain fresh perspective you can bring back to your team and organization.
We’ll gather at 8:00AM, with discussion starting promptly at 8:15AM.

CBusData - Discover the Power of Window Functions
Window functions have nothing to do with the Windows operating system but provide a “window” to a result set when used in SQL queries. They are powerful, set-based methods to view data in unexpected ways. Window functions provide easy, set-based solutions to solve some common problems:
* Using running totals
* Performing operations in intervals
* Identifying data gaps and islands
* Performing aggregates without losing detail
Many people are confused by window functions and do not know how to use them properly. This session will explore window functions, how they work, and how to use them. Demonstrations with several examples will solidify how window functions can simplify queries and make them more powerful.

Code Anywhere by Talking to your Phone
Drake Lundstrom is presenting:
Code Anywhere by Talking to your Phone
Abstract:
Have you heard the trend of people deploying code anywhere from checkout lines to doctors' offices? In this talk, you will learn how to talk to your phone and have an app on Azure to show your friend 5 minutes later. The basic DevOps tools you already know, plus a little bit of AI magic, are all you need!
If you want to follow along, the demo will be in Azure with GitHub Actions and GitHub Copilot, and you can have it set up on your phone by the end of the session. Just come in with an Azure account and a GitHub repo.
Join us for pizza, drinks, and networking @ Improving's office. Doors open at 5:45.
