A community funded, not for profit event built for creators and the developers who use their work. Less stage. More story. All signal.

Slack: https://slack.softwarecrafters.org/ (channel #loc\_montréal) Our wonderful Host: Osedea 🌟 \-- 18:00 - Greetings 🍕 Meet people, network, eat, and chill before the event begins. It's a fantastic opportunity to get to know each other. 18:50 - Introduction 💁 We regroup. Organizers briefly introduce the newcomers, and we thank the host. 19:00 - Quick Shares ⚡ Short presentations from the community. You can stand up and propose something if you want. Typical interventions could be: I want to say hi (3 seconds) I discovered this new tool, here's the website, you should check it out (1 minute) I've prepared a little presentation with a few slides (max. 10min) 19:30 - Round-table discussions 💬 Anyone can propose one or many subjects. We all vote on these topics and pick the ones with the most votes. Then we'll split into a few groups to discuss these. You're free to stand up and change groups during the evening if you want to. Examples of past topics: What is the ideal work setup for devs at work? (e.g., local, cloud-based, hybrid, etc) AI code editors, workflows + pros and cons What are the soft skills a good developer should have? Clean architecture VS feature-based architecture How do you choose a backend technology? How to handle the evolution of anemic model to DDD model? Discussing how to prepare for and perform well on technical interviews when job hunting. Monorepos: yay or nay? Pros, cons, tooling, and workflow 20:30 - Recap & closing We regroup again. One person in each group does a short recap of what was discussed, so everyone gets a TL;DR of the different discussions. Then we say goodbye and go home, full of joy and motivation, until the next meetup. See you there! 😃

Welcome to our eight-week series on practical uses of AI for software crafters. Each week, we will have an expert talking about their learnings in this new a rapidly evolving field. If you're excited to learn how these new tools can enhance and support your skills, please join us! This series is hosted in collaboration with Calgary Software Crafters: https://www.meetup.com/calgary-software-crafters Description: AI agents are everywhere, but how do you go from demo to dependable? In this talk, we’ll build agents using LangGraph, and take it beyond toy examples into enterprise-grade readiness. We’ll start with context engineering concepts like: control flow, prompt engineering, prompt management and tool calling. From there, we’ll build an agent step-by-step, enabling contextual reasoning via Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and integrating tool use for dynamic task execution. We'll also cover agent observability with open source observability tools such as LangFuse to bring full observability into the decision our agents make. Whether you're exploring AI agents or planning your first production deployment, you'll leave this session with the patterns, tools, and clarity to do it right.

This series is hosted in collaboration with Calgary Software Crafters: https://www.meetup.com/calgary-software-crafters Description: How can we expect LLM products to impact software engineering? Join Chelsea Troy for an examination of how LLM products are built. She'll walk through the domain: what data LLMs are trained on and how they're trained: and spell out how those factors impact what LLMs tend to do well with and where they tend to struggle. Then, we'll talk about how that affects the design of the products built around LLMs, like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, or Devon. Finally, take a tour with Chelsea through current research elucidating the impact of LLM product use on developer workflows, and dig into what that means for us as practitioners in an LLM-enabled world.
