Second Meetup in April OMG!!! Let's gooo! We have some amazing speakers, and of course, pizza and drinks will be available after the event. ────────── **18:30: Welcome** Grab a drink and a seat until everybody arrives! **18:50 Intro by Host Neciu Dan** **19:00 Front-end testing at Preply: Shifting left towards component testing with Storybook** Speakers: Lukasz Rados and Dominika Szukala, both Senior Frontend Engineers at Preply Preply invested a lot into E2E testing in the past, but this approach wasn’t scaling well for us. With the advent of the company rebrand and the new engineering excellence culture, Preply needed a new approach to front-end testing. We (Dominika and Lukasz) embarked on a project to apply the new Engineering Excellence principles to front-end testing, providing the tools and fixing the current context to steer the whole company toward component tests. **19:25** **AI vs. App Engineer. Claude vs. Stack Overflow,** **or How an Animation Task Can Change the Perception of Your Work** Speaker: Arthur Repin, App Engineer at Preply I had a task, that initially looked like a routine change. Normally, I would handle it the usual way: check the documentation, browse Stack Overflow, try a few naive solutions, iterate, and get it done. But not this time. This is a story about how a wrong estimate can actually pay off later by saving time on future tasks. It’s a journey through misjudged effort, shifting approaches, unexpected struggles, and the lessons learned along the way. It also includes a deep technical dive into React Native animations, exploring complex animation patterns and why achieving smooth performance, especially on Android, is still a challenge. This talk is for engineers who want a deeper understanding of React Native animations and a reminder of why engineers still matter in the age of AI. **19:50: Drinks and networking!** Do you want to talk at this meetup?

***Terminas un proyecto. Te pones a buscar el siguiente.*** Pasan los días, las semanas incluso los meses y no llega nada claro. Sigues haciendo lo de siempre: escribir, enviar, ajustar el portfolio pero nada cambia. Empiezas a darle más vueltas de la cuenta. A dudar cosas que antes tenías claras. A aceptar proyectos que no te encajan del todo. O a moverte con más cuidado del que te gustaría. Y desde fuera parece que no pasa nada. — Este encuentro es para hablar de ese momento. Un espacio para freelancers y personas creativas en Barcelona donde compartir lo que está pasando de verdad, escuchar otras experiencias y entender mejor desde dónde moverse. Si te suena, nos vemos este jueves 30 de abril a las 18.00en MOB – Makers of Barcelona.

Ever wanted to try the bars at the beach but felt intimidated by the crowd - especially all those men? **Girlsthenics** is a friendly, no-pressure session for women to explore calisthenics in a safe, supportive and uplifting environment. Whether you’re a complete beginner or someone who’s tried the bars before and just needs more guidance with technique, balance, or specific skills - this is your space. We’ll learn practical foundations like how to engage your core, correct scapular activation, move with control, and build strength using nothing but your own bodyweight (and maybe some bands). You’ll practice on the TRX, low bars, high bars, and the floor - but always at your own pace, with options for every level. The intention? **To feel empowered, strong, capable, and confident using your own body.** By learning calisthenics, you’ll discover how mobility, balance, coordination, and inner strength all translate into everyday life. When you learn to support your own body, you learn to support yourself. In every sense!! Join us for a powerful, playful hour of movement by the waves, surrounded by like-minded women. No judgement, no pressure, just progress, community, and feeling strong as hell!! Bring 10 euro cash Confirm your attendance by clicking attending and joining the WhatsApp group https://chat.whatsapp.com/IWULfewTymZCtTK92z3oUt See you at the bars! - Emily x

Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you knew Del Close on a personal level, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup** for some fun and games! The idea behind improv is to create entire scenes from scratch based on a suggestion from the audience. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway*, *ComedySportz*, or *Wild 'n Out*; it could also be done to tell stories, like *Middleditch and Schwartz*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and free!) weekly comedy event, brings the games (and occasionally different forms) for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Not only is it a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and make friendships that'll last a lifetime! Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "Yes, And" that you'll have fun!

Some trained COUNT volunteers work together once a month at RMH (http://www.rmhc-centralohio.org/volunteer.php) as Housewarmers (usually on the 1st Sunday from 1 – 5 PM). Some schedule other shifts at their convenience. You may try this out with less fuss by following a "Fast track" or go through the normal process. Fast track • Arrange a time to shadow a COUNT volunteer. Call Dave Nohle at 614-268-9558 (cell). • Show up and try it out. • Complete application, etc. later. Normal process • Complete an online application (http://rmhc-centralohio.org/volunteer/). • Attend orientation in advance. • At orientation you will complete forms agreeing to keep family/patient info private and allowing a background check and tour the facility. • Complete one training shift. Daily shifts are: morning 9 AM - 1 PM, afternoon 1 - 5 PM and evening 5 - 9 PM. • Schedule shifts online using the on the RMH scheduling system (http://www.volgistics.com/ex/portal.dll/?FROM=32895). The Ronald McDonald House (RMH) provides housing and meals for families with sick children. The Columbus RMH is the largest in the world with 137 rooms. COUNT has been volunteering there since May 2014. Housewarmers work with RMH guests to provide a home-like environment - greet, assist with family needs, answer phones, give tours, assist with checkin/checkout, prepare guest rooms after checkout, clean facility, laundry, restock supplies and staff the front desk. RMH Housewarmers volunteer at least one four-hour shift a month. All Housewarmers must complete an application and agree to a background check before they can be full fledged volunteers.

Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you! **What to Expect at the Intro Circle** \~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~ Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup: * Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics Round 1 - (7 secs max): * Your name * What you're working on * What you can help others with Round 2: * Community events you wanna plug. 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!

It feels like we just saw each other 🤷. Join members of the local design and UX community for our monthly breakfast. For May we’re stopping in for Rooh’s popup breakfast/cafe concept. You know someone is getting the lobster yuzu croissant, and that’s not even the prettiest thing on the menu!.
