**Architectural tests and fitness functions in practice** Perché, nonostante le buone intenzioni, l'architettura di un sistema tende a deteriorarsi nel tempo? Come possiamo evitare che il design perda la sua integrità man mano che il progetto evolve? In questo meetup, esploreremo insieme come trasformare l’architettura da un concetto teorico a una realtà misurabile e protetta. **Attraverso un mix di discussione attiva ed esempi pratici**, affronteremo insieme tre sfide cruciali : * **Guard rail** : Come possiamo implementare vincoli automatici che mantengano il controllo sull'architettura direttamente nella pipeline * **Consapevolezza** : Come assicurarsi che le scelte architetturali siano condivise e comprese da tutto il team, evitando l'accumulo di "debito decisionale"? * **Monitoraggio** : È possibile misurare oggettivamente il deterioramento strutturale e intervenire prima che il costo del cambiamento diventi insostenibile? Vi aspettiamo per mettere a confronto le nostre esperienze e scoprire come utilizzare Architectural Tests e Fitness Functions per preservare la salute del software nel tempo **Link Telegram** [https://t.me/codingbunker](https://t.me/codingbunker) ​ **Programma** 18:30 - Accredito ​​19:00 - Breve presentazione della community ​​19:15 - Inizio sessione ​​20:15 - Q&A ​​20:30 - Networking **Nota legale** Partecipando all’evento, l’utente autorizza gli organizzatori a effettuare riprese fotografiche e video e a utilizzare il materiale raccolto per finalità di comunicazione, promozione e documentazione delle attività legate a Coding Bunker e alla community

✨ **Trama in breve** Gea ha ventisette anni e vive sui Navigli di Milano, in un piccolo mondo tutto suo da cui raramente si allontana. In un’epoca che corre veloce e guarda lontano, lei sceglie di restare vicino: aggiusta oggetti, li rimette in circolo, lascia in giro poesie e piccoli messaggi, convinta che ogni cosa possa avere una seconda possibilità. Circondata da personaggi fuori dal comune – e decisamente lontani dalla sua età – Gea sembra sospesa, come se non trovasse davvero il suo posto nel mondo. Forse anche a causa di un passato ingombrante e di paure che non è mai riuscita a sistemare, proprio lei che ripara tutto. Quando una vecchia bottega di rigattiere, il “Nuovo mondo”, rischia di sparire per sempre, Gea decide di fare qualcosa: salvarla. Quella missione diventa molto più di un gesto concreto — è l’occasione per affrontare sé stessa, immaginare un futuro diverso e, forse, iniziare finalmente a vivere davvero. Perché a volte, ciò che proviamo a salvare… finisce per salvare noi. 💬 **Cosa faremo insieme?** * Condivideremo i passaggi che ci hanno colpito di più * Parleremo di Gea: la capiamo? la critichiamo? la abbracciamo? 😄 * Scopriremo somiglianze e differenze tra lei e noi ❓ **Spunti per la discussione:** * Ti sei sentita rappresentata da Gea? * In quali aspetti ti riconosci? * Dove invece senti distanza dal suo modo di affrontare la vita? Non è necessario aver letto il libro per partecipare né condividere le proprie opinioni. Puoi acquistare il libro oppure prenderlo in prestito in biblioteca. 📍 **Dove:** Laghetto Parco nord Via Ornato– Milano, porta un telo perché staremo sul prato. 💸 **Contributo:** 5€ da inviare con paypal o satispay ☕ Consumazioni extra a carico di ciascun partecipante da poter prendere al bar "Sun Strac" sia durante l'evento sia dopo per chi avesse piacere di fermarsi. Un incontro leggero, senza pressioni, pieno di storie, punti di vista e magari anche qualche piccola “cosa che ci salva”. 💛 In caso di maltempo 🌧☂ l'evento verrà rinviato. gruppo whatsapp [https://chat.whatsapp.com/JPeImG8EK1P82157K4izWP?mode=gi_t](https://chat.whatsapp.com/JPeImG8EK1P82157K4izWP?mode=gi_t)

Venerdì 29 Maggio, al centro culturale Slow Mill Milano, in via Volturno 32 si terrà la presentazione del nuovo libro “La pupilla”, dello scrittore Darien Levani. L’incontro inizierà con un drink di benvenuto, dalle 17:30, e durerà fino alle 19:30. Il protagonista è il maresciallo Faber, un tipo diverso dall’immaginario comune: non è un eroe, nè un duro da fiction e non è neanhe particolarmente brillante; è un uomo stanco, ironico, incasinato, ma anche incredibilmente lucido. Si destreggia tra dovere e vita privata, a volte come un elefante in una stanza, a volte come un abile ballerino sul palco. Per citare l’autore, è uno che abbraccia le contraddizioni, le tiene in tasca, ci dorme assieme e la mattina dopo ci fa pure colazione. Perché le contraddizioni non sono ipocrisia, sono la nostra condizione naturale. Dialogano con l’autore Sonila Alushi e Nicola Eynard. Si ringraziano per il Patrocinio e la collaborazione, Il Consolato Della Repubblica d’Albania a Milano, Libreria Incrocio Quarenghi e l’Associazione Dora e Pajtimit. Vi aspettiamo in tanti. Slow Mill è gestito dall’Associazione Dora e Pajtimit APS. Il tesseramento annuale all’Associazione (€5, drink incluso) è obbligatorio per i maggiorenni.

The main entrance of the shopping center opens onto stairs/elevator leading up to the 2nd floor cafe section where we will have a table displaying a sign with the Shut Up & Write logo.
