Hey there! Techalicious is kicking off 2025 with a casual hangout at a local pub. No agenda, no presentations - just grab a drink and meet some fellow tech enthusiasts. New year, new projects, new rabbit holes to fall into. This is a great chance to chat about what you're working on, what's on your tech radar for 2025, or just geek out over whatever's on your mind. AI has been a hot topic in the group - whether you're experimenting with local LLMs, playing with image generators, or just trying to make sense of the hype - we'd love to hear what you think. Whether you're into AI, coding, Linux, self-hosting, or just tech in general - you're in the right place. All skill levels welcome. See you there - let's kick off the year right!

Let’s do some coding together at a cafe! No more working alone in the weekend. Here, we write code together. And I mean together together. Not occupying-the-same-space-but-separate together. Here’s how it works: Jennifer brings her mobile app project, tells everyone that it is like Pinterest for recipes and she’d like to work on the nav bar. Paul and Chloe think Jennifer's project is fascinating, and they join the group. They gather around Jennifer’s laptop and work on the nav bar for 2 hours. Jennifer is the one typing out the code while Paul and Chloe research, brainstorm, and offer suggestions. If you’re feeling stuck on your own project or need a motivation boost, bring it to mob programming! Want to learn by watching how others code and solve problems? Join someone else’s project at this event! Oh and we love your half-done projects that you are a bit embarrassed to share. Absolutely bring those to the event! **Discord**: We use Discord to share screen & code snippets during the event. Also feel free to share your projects here before the event! https://discord.gg/Da9fZFxPfs **Event policy**: * We have 0 tolerance for harassment. * We don’t allow the projects that are not meant to be shared in public such as school assignments, interview tasks, or trade secrets. * The goal is to write code. We discourage you from pitching business ideas here, doing code reviews, or spending the whole event on planning what to do. * Please buy a drink, and tip the barista well.
