Greetings All,
You are invited to join us at the next GatorLUG meeting in beautiful (but way
too cold ) Gainesville, Florida.
We'll end a long year with a relaxed social meeting at The Laboratory. Come
meet someone new and enjoy the great food at this venue. Introduce yourself to
someone you don't know and get all the tech talk you can eat!
Meetings are always free and open to the general public.

Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.

Shawna Martell shares practical strategies to effectively manage legacy code and tech debt. Learn how to lift existing code, gain buy-in for improvements, and build new systems with future maintainability in mind using encapsulation, testing, and linting. She explains the Strangler Fig pattern and provides actionable advice for creating code that ages gracefully and minimizes future headaches.
By Shawna MartellA rigid hierarchical dynamic between senior and junior software engineers can stifle innovation, discourage fresh perspectives, and create barriers to collaboration. According to Beth Anderson, senior engineers can actively learn from their junior counterparts. She suggests creating an environment of mutual growth, psychological safety, and continuous learning.
By Ben LindersFor systems that require strict synchronization—like distributed databases, telemetry pipelines, or event-driven architectures—handling leap seconds incorrectly can lead to data loss, duplication, or inconsistencies. As such, managing leap seconds accurately ensures system reliability and consistency across environments that depend on high-precision time.
By Craig RisiAdi Polak, a Confluent expert, addressed AI precision challenges at QCOn London 2025, introducing agentic RAG to enhance data retrieval accuracy. With insights on the limitations of current systems and actionable strategies for implementation, Polak emphasized precision as a crucial factor in operationalizing AI, building trust, and improving business outcomes.
By Steef-Jan WiggersRadical AI has announced the release of TorchSim, a next-generation atomistic simulation engine built natively in PyTorch and designed for the MLIP (machine-learned interatomic potentials) era.
