@refactr.techDrew Schillinger (Connexure) closes Open Source Night with "Nightshift," on guardrails for AI agents going from copilot to autopilot.
Tue 10/20, Tech Square ATL. www.meetup.com/refactr-tech...
@refactr.techAdding video to your app usually means reading the whole SDK. Dwane Hemmings (Vonage) shows how open-source Web Components let you skip that and drop it in, any framework.
Open Source Night, Tue 10/20. Food + drinks on Vonage. www.meetup.com/refactr-tech...
@refactr.techMost Copilot demos are too clean to be real. Anjie Adeyemo (AT&T) is bringing the honest version: how she uses Copilot day to day, and when to push back on what it hands her.
Open Source Night, Tue 10/20, Tech Square ATL. Dinner on Vonage. www.meetup.com/refactr-tech...

@refactr.techWe're planning 2027 and lining up partners. If your company wants to reach an Atlanta tech community of 2,000+ engineers, career changers, and leaders, let's talk: refactr.tech/sponsor
@refactr.techWe have two events tonight on opposite sides of the world (kinda): build something silly at Code Jam (in Alpharetta), or grab a drink with us at Out of Office Hours (in West Midtown).
Choose one: refactr.tech/events
@refactr.techCode Jam is the one build night that asks for your worst idea
One hour, build something pointless, then watch it fall apart on the big screen.
Wed Sep 23, Improving (Alpharetta), joint with 4 dev communities: www.meetup.com/refactr-tech...
