Join us for one of our regular Nerd Dinners. These are events are simply social and have no planned agenda. We typically meet at the Mall at Millenia food court at the base of the ramp that leads to the center lounge area. Grab some food from one of the many vendors in the food court area and enjoy some good conversation and networking.
Naturally there will be .NET developers there but we welcome developers and IT professionals from all disciplines. The more diversity, the better the conversation. :-)
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.

After the Datadog Agent grew from 428 MiB to 1.22 GiB over a period of 5 years, Datadog engineers set out to reduce its binary size. They discovered that most Go binary bloat comes from hidden dependencies, disabled linker optimizations, and subtle behaviors in the Go compiler and linker.

Cloudflare released vinext, an experimental Next.js reimplementation built on Vite by one engineer, with AI guidance over one week, for $1,100. Early benchmarks show 4.4x faster builds, but Cloudflare cautions it's untested at scale. Missing static pre-rendering. HN reaction skeptical, noting Vite does the heavy lifting. Already running on CIO.gov despite experimental status.

Netflix engineers describe an internal automation platform that migrates nearly 400 RDS PostgreSQL clusters to Aurora, reducing downtime and operational risk. The platform coordinates replication, CDC handling, controlled cutover, and rollback, while supporting service teams in a self-service migration workflow.

Patrick Debois discusses the evolution of software engineering in the age of AI. He shares four key patterns: transitioning from producer to manager, focusing on intent over implementation through spec-driven development, moving from delivery to discovery, and managing agentic knowledge. He explains how these shifts redefine seniority, team roles, and the future of the DevOps workflow.
