Open Source Night

About this event

*** Open source runs the world, and most of us build on it every day without thinking about it. For our next joint meetup, Atlanta's dev communities are teaming up for a night about the code, the tools, and the people behind it. We'll get into why open source matters, what it actually looks like to contribute, and how modern tooling is changing the way we build. Whether you've shipped a hundred PRs or you've never opened one, there's a seat for you here. Come curious. **Speakers** **[Anjie Adeyemo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/anjie-adeyemo/) — Lead Advanced Analytics, AT&T** *Down the Rabbit Hole: Real-World Workflows With GitHub Copilot* AI isn't magic, but it can be a workflow multiplier if you learn to use it intentionally. Anjie shares how she actually uses GitHub Copilot day to day, what she calls "vibe coding": editing scripts, debugging, brainstorming, and speeding up the small tasks that quietly eat your time. She'll walk through real examples of exploring solutions and experimenting with ideas, plus how to go down the AI rabbit holes responsibly by asking better questions, iterating on prompts, and challenging the output instead of trusting it blindly. Expect an honest look at what's working with Copilot, what isn't, and how to get more value from AI without becoming dependent on it. Anjie is a lead advanced analytics professional who loves experimenting with AI tools to make coding and everyday workflows more efficient. She works with SQL, automation, and data pipelines, and enjoys sharing practical lessons from her learning journey while keeping the human developer in the driver's seat. Outside of work, she mentors students through Girls Who Code. **[Dwane Hemmings](https://www.linkedin.com/in/dwane-hemmings/) — Developer Advocate, Vonage** *Drop In, Keep Coding: Let Web Components Do the Heavy Lifting* Building real-time video into your app shouldn't require learning every intricate detail of the SDK.
