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. Antonio

**You’ve been living in Italy for months… maybe even years…** **but you still don’t really *live* in Italian.** You understand. You try. But when it’s time to speak, something holds you back. Not enough practice. Too much pressure. Or simply… no space that feels safe enough. I know this, because I’ve lived it. Learning the local language is what finally made me feel at home. That’s why I created this. **Welcome to The Village — a space to *experience* Italian, not just learn it.** This is for you if: – you want to actually speak, not just listen – you’re willing to make mistakes and grow from them – you value connection, presence and a positive group energy – you’re ready to step out of your comfort zone (gently, but consistently) This is **not** a traditional class. And it’s not for passive learners. In The Village, we: – practice real-life conversations – use role play, games and embodied exercises – support each other (no judgment, no pressure) – build confidence session after session The goal is simple: to help you feel more at home in Italy — in your body, and in your voice. I guide the space to make sure everyone speaks, feels included, and grows. **Small group. Real connection. Consistent practice.** If this resonates, contact me and I will share all details to attend: Francesca: +44 7551910793 Payment: 5x 2 hrs sessions: 50 euros, drop in sesson 12 euros

**Se ora il codice lo scrive una AI… io cosa ci sto a fare?** Negli ultimi mesi abbiamo visto l’intelligenza artificiale passare da semplice “assistente” a qualcosa che è in grado di scrivere codice, proporre soluzioni e persino prendere decisioni. **Ma quindi… siamo diventati inutili?** In questo talk cercheremo di rispondere proprio a questa domanda, andando oltre hype e paure, per capire cosa sta realmente cambiando nel nostro lavoro di sviluppatori. Partiremo dalle basi: * cosa sono i Large Language Models (LLM) * cosa significa davvero parlare di “agenti” * come funzionano concetti come MCP, tools e skills Per poi passare alla pratica, con esempi concreti su come queste tecnologie possono essere integrate nel workflow quotidiano di uno sviluppatore PHP, utilizzando strumenti come **Laravel Boost** all’interno di progetti reali. Vedremo come configurare e utilizzare agenti per: * scrivere test automaticamente * analizzare e migliorare il codice * generare documentazione * supportare attività ripetitive come commit e refactoring **L’obiettivo non è sostituire lo sviluppatore, ma aumentare la sua capacità di lavorare meglio, più velocemente e con maggiore consapevolezza.** Chiuderemo con una riflessione sul futuro della professione: * quali competenze diventeranno fondamentali * cosa cambierà davvero nel nostro lavoro * e soprattutto… quale sarà il nostro ruolo in un mondo dove il codice può essere scritto (anche) da una AI Un talk pratico, concreto e senza fuffa, pensato per sviluppatori che vogliono capire — davvero — come usare queste tecnologie invece di subirle.

L’obiettivo è capire come questo tipo di strumento può supportare le attività quotidiane di sviluppo, dalla scrittura del codice all’integrazione con i servizi cloud. La sessione alternerà una breve introduzione a una demo guidata, con la possibilità di seguire in prima persona (è una buona idea portare un PC!). *Guideranno la sessione Marco Frattallone (Senior Technical Account Manager, AWS), Francesco Bertani (Solutions Architect, AWS), Francesco Martini (Senior Cloud Operations Architect, AWS).* **📍 Dove** Milano — uffici Amazon Italy, Viale Monte Grappa 3, Milano Indispensabile **iscriversi** all'evento meetup e portare **documento d'identità** per accedere alla venue. **🎯 A chi è rivolto?** A chiunque abbia una **conoscenza generale di AWS** — non serve essere “pro” né esperti.

**Join us at Alive614, then after at Wilson's for food & LIve Music with Hensley.** We'll shut the doors at wine club early at 8 pm so we can catch a full two hours of live music (no cover charge there) down the street at Wilson's Bar (https://wilsonshilliard.com/events/ ) until 10 pm. We did this a few months ago for "Smashburgers" and it seemed popular and worth doing again. Oh, and the smashburgers are pretty good there! **On Freestyle night** \- just bring a bottle to share\. There is NO formal wine tasting like on other weeks\. Door charge is $10 \(cash or Venmo only please\)\. We may have some left over wines to clear out\! Glasses are provided\. Take Care\. See you there\. **Parking**: There are several public parking lots near the Alive614 hall. Please be careful to NOT park in private parking lots. They do tow. Check Google maps to scope out your space. Anyone who is early could easily find a parking space on the street nearby. I am told that the Chase parking lot is safe after hours. **Glasses**: …will be provided. Please note that after the wine tasting, the EMPTY glasses need to be returned to the boxes at the service table. Please do not make me hunt down your empty glass. Please be gentle, our glasses are fragile. Uh, they are made of glass! (ps - empty the glasses into the sink, not the trash ... please) **Food**: You are welcome to bring a snack to share. It is not required. Most people do though. If no one brings anything, there will be nothing. **Code of Conduct**: Though mostly understood, it’s still worth mentioning. We don’t have rules per se, but we highly discourage the following topics of discussion because they are likely to incite anti-social responses - Sex, Politics, Religion. Please don’t mistake this as an attempt to limit your free speech rights but rather a guide to a place and time for appropriate discussions. **After the lights go out**: After the last sip of wine, when we clean up and turn the lights out, if you still haven’t had enough of us, it is typical for a group to get together and go to a local eatery for food and/or drinks or coffee. Again, We look forward to meeting new members and reuniting with old friends. Sincerely, ***Paul Uttermohlen***, **Red 1 Realty** *Your Hilliard Wine Club Host*

Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way.

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!

**Comedy Night + Open Mic + Freestyle**: Tristan Shae and friends return to entertain us and to warm the group up for our open mic session. February's Open Mic / Comedy Night was a smash hit and it's worth a second night. We'll start with Tristan Shae and a couple of his friends. Tristan is an alternative comic from Columbus, Ohio. A counselor by day, Tristan explores how comedy can improve mental health by telling jokes and stories that muse on how absurd life can be from squeaky clean topics to not so clean ones. Tristan produces the variety show Cheaper Than Therapy, hosts the weekly Problem Child Alt Comedy Open Mic at The Attic, and can be found engaging in all sorts of silliness around the city from stand up shows at The Nest Theater, The Attic, or The Funny Bone, to improv and sketch shows with various groups at various venues such as The Hashtag Comedy Club. **On Freestyle night** \- just bring a bottle to share\.
