Python Meetup @ Sofia, May Edition
Последно за сезона издание преди лятната ваканция! ☀️ И това ако не е повод да се видим! 🙂🎉
**Python Meetup @ Sofia** 🐍 е тук през май 🌸 с интересна тема 💡 и почерпка 🍻 преди така дългоочакваните летни месеци!
Ще се съберем в края на май 📅, ще споделим опит 🤓, ще се почерпим 🍹 и ще си поговорим 💬, по стара пайтънмийтъпска традиция ;)
**🗓️ Датата е 26-ти май, а мястото е 📍Barter Community Hub 🏢.**
**Започваме в ⏰ 19:00ч.**
🎫 Събитието е напълно безплатно ✅, нужно е само да потвърдиш присъствие тук 🙌
📢 Тема: **Async Python: The (bright) future after the end of GIL**
👨💻 Лектор: **Ивайло Дончев**
💭 **За какво ще си говорим:**
Когато говорим за асинхронното програмиране с Python 🐍, винаги изниква една мистична абревиатура - GIL 🤔. В лекцията ще говорим за това как се промени асинхронното програмиране в python през годините 📈, какво е GIL, защо беше нужен, защо беше нужно да се премахне ❌ и какво означава това на практика ⚙️.
Лекцията ще бъде на български език! 🇧🇬
🎙️ **За лектора:**
Ивайло Дончев е Senior Full Stack developer 👨💻 и Technical Team Lead 🧠 в Waracle (България). Има 10+ години опит с Python 🐍 и Django, лектор на EuroPython 2018, 2022 и 2023 🎤 и лектор на курсовете на HackBulgaria 📚.
След лекцията продължаваме в networking частта 🤝 с традиционната почерпка 🍻 от нашите партньори от **[Waracle](https://waracle.com/)** 🙏. Разбира се, ще има и томбола 🎁.
А след това ще се отдадем на заслужена лятна почивка 🏖️ и ще се видим отново през септември 🍂! Както се казва, да сме живи и здрави! 🙏
Очакваме те на 26-ти май в Barter Community Hub!📍 Започваме точно в 19:00! ⏰

C++ for Combinatorial Optimization: From Exact Solvers to Metaheuristics
Combinatorial optimization problems arise across logistics, scheduling, and engineering, and C++ remains a language of choice when performance matters. This lecture takes a practical look at solving such problems in C++, using the Electric Vehicle Routing Problem as a running example.
We begin with an exact solver, formulating the problem as a mixed-integer program and trying to solve it through GLPK's C API directly from C++. Exact methods, however, quickly hit their limits on real-world instances. The second half of the talk turns to metaheuristics: how they are designed, why C++ is particularly well suited for implementing them, and what design choices matter most in practice. We'll walk through a concrete implementation, touching on data structures for fast neighborhood evaluation, generic algorithm design with templates, and the performance considerations that separate a prototype from a production-ready solver.
The goal is not to advocate for one approach over another, but to show how C++ supports the full spectrum of optimization techniques.
WordPress на 23: Време е за парти! 🎉
Здравейте, WordPress хора!
Както знаете, благодарение на Matt Mullenweg и Mike Little, на 27 май 2003 г. един млад проект с отворен код направи първите си стъпки в света - и ето ни 23 години по-късно, все още влюбени в него. Двама души го създадоха, но хиляди доброволци, разработчици, дизайнери и ентусиасти по целия свят го превърнаха в това, което е днес.
Затова на 27 май 2026 г. отново ще се съберем в София, за да вдигнем тост (и хапнем парче торта) за рождения ден на любимата ни платформа!
Какво ни очаква?
Среща с хора, които говорят на нашия език - този на темите, плъгините, къстъмизациите и късните нощи в WordPress редактора. Очакват ни разговори, хапване, торта и онова специално усещане, когато общността се събере на едно място. Докато ние празнуваме в София, хиляди WordPress ентусиасти по целия свят правят същото – а ние сме част от тази голяма картина.
Без значение дали си разработчик с 15 години стаж, дизайнер, който прави първия си сайт, блогър, агенция или просто човек, който обича отворения код – има място за теб на тази маса.
Малко повече инфо:
🎟️ Събитието е напълно безплатно. Единственото, което трябва да направите, е да се регистрирате в събитието в Meetup.com.
📍 Мястото? Добре познатото ни Sky Beauty Lab!
👕 Донеси любимият си суаг! Извади от гардероба най-готината WordPress тениска, шапката с логото, чорапите с Wapuu – каквото имаш. И не забравяй да публикуваш снимки с хаштаговете #WP23 и #WP23Sofia, за да покажем на света как празнува българската общност.
Благодарности:
Това парти нямаше да е възможно без партньорите ни, които стоят зад WordPress Sofia Meetup и общността ни вече години наред – [SuperHosting.BG](SuperHosting.BG), [Delta.BG](Delta.BG), [Jump.bg](Jump.bg) и [JetHost.BG](JetHost.BG). Благодарим ви, приятели! <3
Заредете доброто си настроение, отворете календара и си запазете датата.
За тези, които не знаят: месечните срещи на WordPress Sofia Meetup събират десетки хора (независимо дали са професионалисти или абсолютно начинаещи), които по някакъв начин са свързани с най-използваната система за управление на съдържанието в света. Те са напълно безплатни и отворени за всички, които обичат WordPress - единственото нещо, което трябва да направите, за да присъствате, е да се регистрирате в събитията тук.
Очакваме ви!

Sofia Crypto Meetup - Crypto Summer Starts Strong
*This event features presentations in both English and Bulgarian.*
Силен старт на крипто лятото!
Миналия месец се надявахме, че сме оцелели след дъното. Този месец видяхме токени, които се покачиха с до 50%. Изглежда не сме сгрешили.
След месеци на спадове, несигурност и пазар, който дълго време изглеждаше изтощен, нещо най-после се размърда. И не само на графиките.
Имаме три добри новини за този месец:
Първо, пазарът показа зъби.
Второ, САЩ продължават да бутат напред с добра крипто регулация.
Трето (и може би най-забавното): Prediction Markets се оказаха толкова успешни, че България реши да ги блокира (за първи път още през февруари). Когато регулатор бърза да забрани нещо, обикновено това е знак, че там се случва нещо интересно.
На следващия Sofia Crypto Meetup ще обсъдим:
Кои токени се представиха най-добре и защо. Какво всъщност представляват Prediction Markets и защо толкова много хора (и държави) говорят за тях. Какво може да очакваме през лятото - кои са реалните сценарии, а не магическите прогнози.
Никакви празни приказки, никакви обещания за бързо забогатяване. Просто разговор по същество, добър анализ и достатъчно време за въпроси и дискусия.
Елате да го отпразнуваме заедно. Дъното е зад нас, лятото е пред нас, а разговорът ще бъде интересен.
Очаквайте и много специален гост!

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.
