Forty engineers.
One building.
Different stacks. Different disciplines. Same problem: finding the room where serious work happens.

Uptime
gigabit fiber + backup
“The hum of mechanical keyboards and the smell of fresh espresso. No Slack. No standups. Just shipping.”
They don't just coexist.
They converge.

Rust Embedded Meetup
Four talks on bare-metal Rust, async on microcontrollers, and a live debug session on a real STM32 project. Hardware bench open all afternoon.

Ship-It Saturday
Build something real in twelve hours. Demos at 8pm. No themes, no judges — just engineers who want to say they shipped something this weekend.

Lightning Talks #47
Ten engineers, five minutes each. Past topics: kernel bypass networking, writing a compiler in a weekend, why your Docker image is 3GB. Pizza and strong opinions.
