Boston Code and Coffee @ CIC

Please RSVP ahead of time so we can get an accurate count on coffee.

Everybody will check in at the ground floor security desk before heading up to the 4th floor. Please bring a government-issued ID for check-in.

Code and Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Some people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and some come and (also optionally) socialize the entire time. We encourage everyone to attend our variety of workshops and events we host each meetup, but it's entirely up to you to just come in and hangout!

Featured Talk: Who runs the world? Abstractions!

Join Ebaad, founder of Bit By Bit Education and author of the Constanttime blog, on a journey to simplify the world through Abstractions: Explore two powerful types of abstractions, across Biology, Computer Science, and human thought.

Type 1 Abstraction by Generalization
Discover how Generalization simplifies the world by identifying common properties, making it possible to build flexible models—from functions and classes in computer science to sentence structures in human thought. Allowing us to think more flexibly and build robust computer systems.

Type 2 Abstraction by Composition and Encapsulation
Learn how Composition builds new structures by combining simpler elements, forming the foundation of complex systems. This abstraction enables biological systems to function from cells to intricate organs, organizes mathematical ideas from points to lines to planes, and structures data from bits to arrays to hash maps.
Reframe your thinking about abstractions and become a better Computer Scientist, allowing you to think flexibly and build robust computer system

The Intro Circle

Near the beginning of the event (12:30 pm), we do a standup in a circle:

• We first announce organizer announcements, updates, and logistics

Round 1 - (7 secs max):

• Your name
• What you can help others with
• What you would like help with
• Job opportunities you're hiring for

Round 2:

• Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too.

After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized. We sometimes have FEATURES in a nearby room; checkout those events on Meetup as well.

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Community Discord - come hang out before and after!:
