Thank you. -- We’ve all done a lot of talking in the last few months (years??) about coding agents, advancements in models, and AI slop. In this meetup, we're bringing all of this together as our speakers talk about how to squeeze even more out of AI so you can actually ship something you're proud of. Be our guest, hear from the speakers we've assembled, and bring your hard questions. We're here to learn from each other, successes and failures alike. *** ​**Talks** ​[Tobie Morgan Hitchcock](https://www.linkedin.com/in/tobiemorganhitchcock/) (CEO, SurrealDB) Building agent memory with knowledge graphs ​[Richard Feldman](https://x.com/rtfeldman) (Zed, AI team) Exploring live AI workflows + Q&A ​[Shashank Goyal](https://x.com/shashankgoyal95) (OpenRouter, Founding Engineer) Models, benchmarks, and how everything really stacks up *** ​**Agenda** * ​18:00 - Doors + drinks + food * ​18:30 - Welcome * ​18:35 - **Lightning talks (15 minutes each)** * ​20:20 - Drinks + networking * ​21:00 - Close *** ​**About the speakers** ​[Tobie Morgan Hitchcock](https://www.linkedin.com/in/tobiemorganhitchcock/) (CEO, SurrealDB) ​Tobie Morgan Hitchcock is CEO & Co-Founder of SurrealDB, an AI-native, multi-model database for modern applications.

IoT office hours! We'll meet to work informally on IoT/LoRaWAN projects and kibitz. We're meeting at FatCat Fab Lab in the village near Christopher St and 7th Ave. Look here for more info on specific agenda items as the meeting gets closer. Newcomers are welcome. All levels of skills are welcome.

Join us on **Thursday, February 26** at **Datadog Times Square**. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. to give attendees plenty of time to grab pizza and socialize, and the talk begin at 7:15 p.m. Following the success of the UnConf we've absorbed all of your feedback and have two awesome speakers! **Robin Molen-Grigull is CTO at Fullstack.Trade** \- a stealth mode firm focused on high performance compute and latency in the Web3 space\. **Storage Tetris: Compile-Time Solutions for 32-Byte Storage Constraints** Fitting arbitrary Rust structs into fixed 32-byte storage slots is a puzzle, but Rust’s macros and type system make it solvable. Automatic layout and lazy loading, combined with a small macro, turn low-level storage primitives into clean .field() accessors. Associated types and compile-time offset calculations eliminate manual storage arithmetic while remaining zero-cost. **James Logan is a Principal Scientific Software Engineer at Commonwealth Fusion** **Interpn: Fast Interpolation** James Logan recently delivered a ten minute lightning talk at Rust Boston. The goal of that talk was to share "Everything I learned making software 300x faster than state-of-the-art". James has used Interpn in a way like never seen before, improving performance in a way that is unimaginably unique and can be applied by so many engineers. This is definitely one not to be missed. **[Lawrence Harvey](https://www.lawrenceharvey.com/)** is Rust NYC's official recruitment partner, with Ross providing support as a co-organizer and financial support. The space is generously sponsored by our partner **Datadog.**

Come join us at Animal bar in Brooklyn for our next gathering in February!

Location: Google Chelsea Market (75 9th Ave, New York, NY 10011), 2nd Floor **6:30 - Arrival and chill** **7:00 - Intros and welcome** **7:20 - Gabriel Paunescu - Beyond the vibe: Code-generation for big UI components** Code generation is notorious for introducing small errors that take a long time to debug, specially when doing UI work. We will present methods to safely generate thousands of lines, introduce new ways to do grounding and show methodologies that help steer the LLMs away from the drift. **7:45 - Break** **8:00 - Tony Scialo - Signals: the What and the Why** Signals are one of the hot new topics in the Angular community, but what exactly are they and why are they useful? In this talk Tony will take you through signals at a quick glance, showing you where they can be easily added to a project and why they could be useful to you. **8:30 - Post event hangout** We'll decide together If you’re interested in giving a talk, please let us know! Speakers of all levels and backgrounds are welcome, and we have experienced mentors who can help you prepare your talk!
