Makers

Per il mese di Marzo accogliamo nuovamente un ospite speciale, a un anno esatto dall'ultimo intervento fatto per noi. Esponente di spicco del movimento Agile ed XP in italia, membro storico del gruppo di *eXtreme Programming Milano* : **Matteo Vaccari**. Portandoci *"Coding with AI: the last 3 month"* ci racconta le novità che ha esplorato e sperimentato negli ultimi mesi sul coding con l'AI. \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- **Abstract** La programmazione assistita dall'IA si sta evolvendo rapidamente. Negli ultimi mesi sono emerse due tendenze: lo spec-driven development, ovvero la stesura di piani dettagliati prima della implementazione, e l'harness engineering, ovvero l'utilizzo di test, linter e controlli automatizzati per mantenere l'IA sulla strada giusta. Parlerò di questi trend e della nostra esperienza recente applicandoli a una codebase reale dove vogliamo (a) non scrivere mai codice a mano e (b) ottenere codice di alta qualità **Bio** Extreme programmer, Thoughtworker, trainer, coach and software developer. Deeply interested in what makes teams and companies successful beyond expectations! Any opinion expressed are my own. \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- **Dove ci troviamo?** Anche questo mese siamo ospiti di [Thoughtworks Italia](https://www.thoughtworks.com/it-it/about-us/Chi-Siamo-Thoughtworks) nella sua sede milanese in Via Filippo Turati, 30: * 18:45 Ritrovo e networking * 19:15 Inizio attività * 21:00 Saluti e birra/cena vicino alla location per chi vuole rimanere

Large language models are impressive out of the box — but they hallucinate, they're generic, and they need the cloud. What if you could take a small open-source model and turn it into a domain expert that runs on your own hardware? That's exactly what we're doing in this hands-on workshop. **[Luca Massaron](https://www.linkedin.com/in/lmassaron/)** — data scientist, bestselling AI author, 3x Kaggle Grandmaster, and Google Developer Expert — will walk you through a complete fine-tuning pipeline from scratch: evaluate a base model, generate synthetic training data, fine-tune with QLoRA, and measure the improvement. All on consumer-grade hardware. By the end of the session, you'll have a repeatable playbook for making small models punch way above their weight in any domain you care about. **What you'll work through:** Baseline evaluation of a pre-trained model → Synthetic dataset generation from real sources → Supervised fine-tuning with QLoRA (parameter-efficient, memory-friendly) → Post-training evaluation to measure the knowledge gain → **Bonus:** fine-tuning for classification tasks (sentiment analysis) **What to bring:** **Your laptop**. The workshop runs on Google Colab (free T4 GPU tier), so no fancy hardware required — just a browser and a Google account. If you have a machine with an NVIDIA GPU (16GB+ VRAM) or an Apple Silicon Mac (16GB+ unified memory), you can run everything locally too. **This event is part of Road to HACK — the official warm-up series for [GDG AI HACK 2026](https://gdgaihack.com/).** On May 8–10, 160 selected participants will compete in a 24-hour AI hackathon in Milan, with tracks spanning on-device AI, vision AI, and EdTech. Fine-tuning is one of the most directly applicable skills you can bring to the hack. Applications for GDG AI HACK 2026 are open **until April 17 →** [gdgaihack.com](https://gdgaihack.com/)

The GYROTONIC® (with equipment) and GYROKINESIS® (without equipment) methods were developed in the 1970s by Juliu Horvath, a professional Hungarian dancer who, after multiple injuries, sought a new approach to rehabilitation. This led him to create GYROTONIC®, an extraordinary discipline that combines elements of dance, yoga, swimming, and tai chi. In the GYROTONIC® method, exercise sequences consist of rhythmic, circular movements that flow seamlessly from one to the next, allowing the joints to move freely and naturally, without compression. GYROTONIC® is a unique and original method that stimulates the nervous system, tones the muscles, and improves balance, coordination, flexibility, and strength. The practice of GYROTONIC® is suitable for everyone, including those recovering from injuries who are looking for a new approach to rehabilitation. Each person can naturally adapt the exercises to their own physical condition and needs, so age or fitness level do not matter. The only goal is to regain agility and mobility, helping your body feel healthier and more balanced than ever. **Les Amis** is a women-only community of friendly souls.

Ciao a tutti, ultimo Meet Up diretto da me. Mi sono trasferita per lavoro già da un po' e non sono più a Milano.Mi auguro che qualcuno prenda il gruppo al mio posto. Il Meet Up consiste in una visita libera all'ADI Museum (costo 15 euro) e per chi vuole una cena a seguire nel quartiere Sarpi per una cena a menú cinese.Si fa presente che alle 18.30 di ogni sabato c'è anche una visita guidata fatta dall'Adi, ma che come sapete non posso organizzare visto che non so mai il numero di persone che si presentano al meet up.Per chi vuole può prenotarla per conto suo online sul sito dell' ADI ci sono i riferimenti.Poi può anche raggiungersi per la cena con noi. Hello everyone, This will be the last MeetUp I’m organising. I moved away for work a while ago and am no longer in Milan. I hope someone will take over the group for me. The MeetUp consists of a self-guided tour of the ADI Museum (cost: €15) and, for those who wish, a Chinese set-menu dinner afterwards in the Sarpi district. Please note that at 6.30 pm every Saturday there is also a guided tour organised by ADI, but as you know I can’t organise this as I never know how many people will turn up for the Meet Up. Anyone who’d like to can book it themselves online via the ADI website – the details are there. You’re also welcome to join us for dinner afterwards.

This session is open forum to share your current projects—whether complete or in progress, it’s all interesting! Whether you’re deep into embedded systems, exploring new ideas, or just getting started, you’ll find a welcoming space to collaborate, share, and get inspired. **New to electronics or curious about tinkering?** You’re absolutely welcome. If you’re a beginner and want to experiment, I’ll have a couple of starter kits available so you can try things out—whether that’s blinking your first LED, putting something on a display, or experimenting with simple sensors. No pressure and no experience required—just an interest in learning and building. While we continue to pursue a more permanent venue for this Meetup, we’ll be using public library facilities based on availability. This session will be at the Worthington Park Library in the Olentangy Meeting Room.

**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 **Abstract** Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively. This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way. **YouTube Link** TBA

It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went? Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence? Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp.
