Event Description
Our next meeting will be this Thursday, March 19th, and we'll have a presentation from Voxeo. Voxeo is a local company which creates enterprise Voice over IP services, and they've invited us down to their offices to show off their brand new Ruby API. During this talk they'll demonstrate how to use Ruby for everything from conferencing and Interactive Voice Response (IVR) to Instant Messaging bots and SMS self service. Pretty cool!
We'll be meeting downtown Thursday at "Urban Flats" (http://bit.ly/Ei2tC) at 6 PM for dinner sponsored by Voxeo, and at around 7 PM we'll be taking the elevators up to Voxeo's offices in the building. Anyone who shows up before 6:30 PM gets FREE dinner, thanks to Voxeo.
If you show up after 7 PM you'll need to give us a call to let you in (407-754-5517).
See you Thursday, should be a fun night!

By Michael RedlichHow to Shape the Engineering Culture in Software Companies
You can find your way through an organization by figuring out what artifacts people leave behind, David Grizzanti mentioned at InfoQ Dev Summit Boston. He compared culture to anthropology, suggested studying behaviors, power dynamics, and decisions first, and then patiently model and reward new norms, build allies, and use influence and leading by example, to shift engineering culture over time.

At QCon London 2026, Jeff Smith discussed the growing mismatch between AI coding models and real-world software development. While AI tools are enabling developers to generate code faster than ever, Smith argued that the models themselves are increasingly “stale” because they lack the repository-specific knowledge required to produce production-ready contributions.
By Daniel DominguezAI Model Discovers 22 Firefox Vulnerabilities in Two Weeks
Claude Opus 4.6 discovered 22 Firefox vulnerabilities in two weeks, including 14 high-severity bugs, as nearly 20% of all critical Firefox vulnerabilities were fixed in 2025. The AI also wrote working exploits for two bugs, demonstrating emerging capabilities that give defenders a temporary advantage but signal an accelerating arms race in cybersecurity.
