Social Meet - International Friends, Good Connections | đCulture Shock Therapy
Español abajo đ
## ENGLISH VERSION
Ever walked into a room full of strangers and thought *"d#\*n, where do I even start"*? đ€
Yeah. Us too.
That's exactly why this exists. đĄ
**What's happening:**
We get a group of locals, foreigners, travelers, and random interesting humans in one room. Then we play some conversation games. Simple stuff. Cards with questions. Getting people to actually talk to each other instead of standing around pretending to read the bar menu. đž
**But here's the thing:**
You don't have to be fluent. You don't need to be outgoing. You can literally show up alone, stand in a corner, and still leave with a new contact in your phone. đ±
No forced networking. No "let me tell you about my startup"
Just conversations.
Real ones. âš
**Who comes:**
People who moved here and don't know anyone. People who speak three languages and want to practice a fourth. Travelers killing time before their next flight. Locals curious about what's happening in their city. đ
Basically: everyone who's tired of the same old bar scene.
**The details:**
đ Sabores Puros â inside Sileo Hotel
Azcuénaga 1968, Recoleta
đ Saturday \| 18:00 â 20:00
đ **Entry:** $5.000
Come solo. Leave with stories.
*Or don't. No one will notice.* đ€·

## VERSIĂN EN ESPAĂOL
ÂżAlguna vez entraste a un cuarto lleno de estranjeros y pensaste *"m·#\*da, por dĂłnde empiezo"*? đ€
SĂ. Nosotros tambiĂ©n.
Por eso existe esto. đĄ
**Qué pasa:**
Juntamos un grupo de locales, extranjeros, viajeros y humanos interesantes random en un cuarto. DespuĂ©s jugamos algunos juegos de conversaciĂłn. Cosas simples. Cartas con preguntas. Haciendo que la gente realmente hable entre sĂ en lugar de pararse alrededor fingiendo leer el menĂș del bar. đž
**Pero aquĂ estĂĄ lo bueno:**
No tienes que ser fluido. No necesitas ser extrovertido. Literalmente puedes llegar solo, pararte en una esquina, y aĂșn asĂ irte con un nuevo contacto en tu telĂ©fono. đ±
Sin networking forzado. Sin "déjame contarte sobre mi startup"
Solo conversaciones.
Reales. âš
**Quién viene:**
Gente que se mudĂł aquĂ y no conoce a nadie. Gente que habla tres idiomas y quiere practicar un cuarto. Viajeros matando tiempo antes de su siguiente vuelo. Locales curiosos sobre quĂ© estĂĄ pasando en su ciudad. đ
BĂĄsicamente: todos los que estĂĄn hartos de la misma escena de siempre.
**Los detalles:**
đ Sabores Puros â Sileo Hotel
Azcuénaga 1968, Recoleta
đ SĂĄbado \| 18:00 â 20:00
đ **Entrada:** $5.000
Ven solo. Vete con historias.

Ensuring Software Quality in the world of AI Developers - Matt Eland
**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
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
Like it or not, AI agents are now capable of turning a quickly written paragraph of requirements into a pull request that is ready to be integrated into real-world production applications and it's now our responsibility to make sure AI doesn't go rogue and take down prod - or corrupt our data by misunderstanding the requirements or our existing schemas. In this session we'll explore strategies to protect our codebases through unit and integration testing, documentation, and code review along with additional ways of providing context and guard rails to our AI agents as they carry out the work we've assigned them to do. By the time we're done, you'll have a firm grasp of the problem and understand some helpful options for protecting your codebase from vibe coding mishaps getting YOLOed into prod.
