“Da” photos from the annual co-ed #DaGathering. Thank you #Portland for letting @kf_curates and I borrow your auntie, co-worker, neighbor, big sister, teacher, play cousin, professor, husband etc for an evening of community, connections and supporting some local black owned businesses. 

Big props to @bykumous @llondynsmom and the rest of the squad at @1803fund for hosting us in their newly opened space in #TheLowEnd. Our vendors @fraiche_signatures @letemcookpdx & @mobile.marti.nini (those signature cocktails🔥) crushed it with @djashe_ashe bringing the vibes. @storyboothexperience helped us by recording our aspirations for the future of Albina. As usual @sirdustydust did his thing behind the 📸.

Hey @blackportlandofficial maybe we need to do this more than once a year😉

AI Without the Hype with Scott Hanselman
Saturday, September 5 @ @nedspace.pdx

AI is moving fast enough that it can make you reconsider your own career in a very real way.
▪️ Why did I try so hard?
▪️ Why did I get the degree?
▪️ What does all this work mean now?

If you have had those thoughts, you are not alone. That is a big part of why we are bringing Scott in.

Scott Hanselman is a Microsoft Vice President and Member of Technical Staff working on Open Source, Windows and the Azure Cloud Developer Experience. 

He has been a programmer for over thirty years and has also worked at Intel and Nike. He has spent a couple of decades explaining hard technical things to people without making them feel small about it.

He said something on our Silicon Forest Tech Summit stage that stuck with the room:

" AI isn't meant to replace builders. It's meant to multiply them"

On September 5 he's back, for a talk and an open conversation.

What these tools are actually good at right now, where they fall over, and how to build something real with them. No pitch, no hand waving.

Bring questions like:
Where does AI actually help in my work, and where is it a waste of time?
What should I learn first if I'm starting now?
Is this coming for my job, and what do I do about it?

There are no bad questions in this room, and nobody is expected to arrive already knowing. That's the whole point of doing it together.

▪️ Saturday, September 5
▪️ NedSpace, Portland
▪️ Free to attend
▪️ Food and drinks provided

Bring your friends and colleagues. Bring the coworker who keeps saying they should learn this. Bring the friend who thinks they wouldn't belong in the room, because they would.
