**✨ 🚀 Clean Code Myths & The FDAP Stack 🐍 ✨** We are back for the 2026 season with a brand new meetup hosted by our friends at **Fiscozen**. To kick off the year, we are diving deep into two critical topics: challenging the dogmas of software design and exploring the cutting edge of data architecture. We will start by questioning if "Clean Code" is always the right answer (and what it costs you in performance). Then, we will see how modern systems move data at high speeds with the "FDAP" stack: Flight, DataFusion, Arrow, and Parquet. **Agenda** * 👋 **18:30** Doors Open * 🧼 **19:00** Talk: “Write Clean Code” and how you’re going to think it twice with Giulio Davide Carparelli * 🏹 **19:50** Talk: FDAP Stack: High-Performance Data Architecture based on Apache Arrow with Emanuele Domingo & Giacomo Rossi * 🍻 After the meetup we will organize a dinner close to the venue, anybody who wants to join is welcome! 📍 **Venue**: Fiscozen, Via Roncaglia 12, Milano MI (Bolivar M4, De Angeli M1) 📺 The event will be **recorded and streamed** on Python Milano Youtube channel (links will appear [here](https://www.youtube.com/@pythonmilano/streams) close to the event) 🧹🧐 **“Write Clean Code” and how you’re going to think it twice** What if, after many year spent on believing in Clean Code as a religion, you discover that Clean Code itself has its weaknesses? In this talk, we are going to discover how much it can affect performance. The goal of the talk is not to make people think "Clean Code is trash" (spoiler: it's not) but to let people learn to always question what can sound as unquestionable truths. **Giulio Davide Carparelli,** **Software Engineer @ Fiscozen** I'm a music nerd and Green Day lover. My passion for developing starts at the young age of thirteen, after seeing a small Javascript demonstration at the local high school. I'm a Software Engineer from 4 years, mostly skilled in TypeScript and Python. 🏹✈️ **FDAP Stack: High-Performance Data Architecture based on Apache Arrow** Take a tour through the FDAP technology stack: Flight, DataFusion, Arrow, and Parquet. It’s a modern, cloud-friendly approach to building data systems that move and process information quickly and efficiently. In this talk, we’ll break down how these tools fit together and show how Arrow’s columnar format makes it possible to stream data between services at high speed, without extra copying or memory overhead. **Emanuele Domingo, Technical Product Owner @ Hiop** Graduated in Computer Science, I was hire #1 at Hiop. I started as an intern in a newly founded startup, working first as a frontend developer on the POC, then moving to the backend with Python and AWS. Nowadays, I manage feature development for Hiop’s core product, Jump. **Giacomo Rossi, Software Engineer @ Hiop** Graduated in Computer Science & Engineering, I joined Hiop one year ago. I work as a Software Engineer with a strong focus on Data Engineering, designing and building data architectures on AWS using Jump, our core platform. Alongside this, I contribute to the development and evolution of Hiop’s tool, working across backend, infrastructure, and platform components. ✋ **Please use your real Name and Surname to register, we cannot assure you will be able to access the venue if not.** **👻 If you have a last minute issue please remember to cancel the RSVP.** **🙏 Thanks for your cooperation**

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

Cosa succede all’Alpha Café? - Apriamo con una meditazione di gruppo, per centrarci e connetterci. - Introduciamo il tema della serata con una breve presentazione multimediale. - Apriamo il confronto: una discussione libera e profonda su come il tema tocca la nostra vita quotidiana. - Concludiamo con un momento conviviale, per rilassarci e stare bene insieme. Un’ora per pensare, sentire, condividere. Ti aspettiamo!

**First Gathering: Love as Transformation** Reading: **The Forty Rules of Love** by **Elif Shafak** We begin Men, Meaning, and Madness with a novel that treats love not as sentiment, but as a force that disrupts, humbles, and reshapes the self. The Forty Rules of Love explores love as discipline, surrender, and moral risk. It asks what happens when certainty breaks, when the ego is wounded, and when meaning is found not through control, but through transformation. This gathering is for men interested in serious literature and honest inquiry into how love shapes character, responsibility, and the inner life. Discussion will be guided by questions rather than summaries. The aim is depth, not debate. Come having read the book or engaged with it seriously.

Dale Gnidovec, Curator of the Orton Hall Museum of Geology at The Ohio State University, will be presenting a program he has wanted to share with us for a long time: Plate Tectonics. His description of his program: Continents on the move - Nothing in Earth history makes sense without moving continents - it tells us why mountains, volcanoes, minerals, and fossils are where they are. This talk examines the evidence for continental drift, why it was disbelieved, and explains how the more-encompassing theory of plate tectonics was developed and eventually proven. Dale is an energetic, incredibly knowledgeable, and very entertaining speaker and this will be another wonderful program by Dale. Hope to see you there! Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid.

**Our February novel is: Julia by Sandra Newman** **This month is a classic, dystopian, fiction, literary fiction, women’s fiction, and science fiction novel. The book is 394 pages in print and 14 hours and 20 minutes on audiobook.** **An imaginative, feminist, and brilliantly relevant-to-today retelling of Orwell’s 1984, from the point of view of Winston Smith’s lover, Julia, by critically acclaimed novelist Sandra Newman.** Julia Worthing is a mechanic, working in the Fiction Department at the Ministry of Truth. It’s 1984, and Britain (now called Airstrip One) has long been absorbed into the larger trans-Atlantic nation of Oceania. Oceania has been at war for as long as anyone can remember, and is ruled by an ultra-totalitarian Party, whose leader is a quasi-mythical figure called Big Brother. In short, everything about this world is as it is in Orwell’s 1984. All her life, Julia has known only Oceania, and, until she meets Winston Smith, she has never imagined anything else. She is an ideal citizen: cheerfully cynical, always ready with a bribe, piously repeating every political slogan while believing in nothing. She routinely breaks the rules, but also collaborates with the regime when necessary. Everyone likes Julia. Then one day she finds herself walking toward Winston Smith in a corridor and impulsively slips him a note, setting in motion the devastating, unforgettable events of the classic story. Julia takes us on a surprising journey through Orwell’s now-iconic dystopia, with twists that reveal unexpected sides not only to Julia, but to other familiar figures in the 1984 universe. This unique perspective lays bare our own world in haunting and provocative ways, just as the original did almost seventy-five years ago.

We meet at lunch each week and each meeting follows a fairly organized agenda. First all participants pass their business cards around. Then each member and guest is invited to give a one-minute overview of their company and what is a perfect referral for the week. We always have a 10 minute presentation from one of the members about their business in more detail. And finally we pass referrals. You're welcome to visit. Nobody is ever put on the spot. Bring plenty of cards!
