Oakland Accelerate Your Workflow with Claude

Mon, Oct 12, 4:51 AM

From Collaborative Coding With Claude Open Sessions

Join us in Oakland for an informal, hands-on workshop focused on getting more out of Claude in your daily development process. Whether you are curious about how to integrate Claude into your existing terminal workflow or you have already started experimenting with the tool and want to see how others are using it, this session is meant to be a space for shared learning and troubleshooting. We will be walking through practical setup examples and exploring how to handle common coding tasks more efficiently using Claude. This session is designed for developers who want to move past the basics and start using AI to manage repetitive tasks, debug more effectively, or navigate larger codebases. You do not need to be an expert to attend, but please bring your own laptop so you can follow along with the exercises. It is a great opportunity to swap tips with fellow engineers and see how these tools are actually being used in local projects. We have a limited number of spots to ensure we can actually sit down and look at code together, so if you are planning to come by, please make sure to RSVP. We look forward to seeing you there.

Laser Cutter Safety Training

Sun, Oct 4, 9:00 PM

From Noisebridge Hackerspace

4.8

Learn how to be safe while using the laser cutter! We have a 150W, CO2 laser cutter with a 3 x 4 ft bed. This training is required to use the laser cutter because we don't want people setting our most expensive equipment donation on fire. You have to do this training even if you were trained at the old space, as we have different safety features now. Training covers * Dangers of the laser cutter * How to be safe * How to put out a fire Each participant will cut a piece of cardboard on the laser cutter while following all the safety steps. This is also a good place to ask questions about specific materials or projects. There is a 5$ fee to register, and we suggest a 20-30$ donation for this class: https://donate.noisebridge.net. If the registration fee is a barrier to your participation, please reach out to the event organisers.

San Francisco Founder Table: Bring One Bottleneck, Leave With Answers

Sat, Oct 10, 2:00 AM

From Startup Networking & Founder Ecosystem | San Francisco

4.4

Join founders, investors and tech talent at this curated **startup networking event in San Francisco.** Meet ambitious builders, exchange ideas and discover new opportunities in a dynamic community environment. RSVP: [Use this link](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/san-francisco-founder-table-bring-one-bottleneck-leave-with-answers-tickets-1997948339266?aff=oddtdtcreator&keep_tld=true) Please note that RSVP is managed via Eventbrite to control attendee lists — don’t ignore it to avoid issues with on-site payment. Founder networking in San Francisco usually means a room full of business cards. This one asks what's stuck. Pricing that isn't converting. A first sales hire you keep postponing. A churn number you can't explain. You send it in before the evening, it goes on the board, the room votes — and the problems people care about get a table and twenty-five minutes of five smart people working on them. 🔍 **HOW A PROBLEM ACTUALLY GETS WORKED ON** Two minutes to explain it. Three minutes of questions - no solutions yet, and this is the part that usually reframes the whole thing. Then eight minutes while the table works on it out loud and you turn your chair around and take notes. You don't defend, you don't explain, you write. Two minutes at the end for what you're taking away. Then a new vote, a new table, and you spend the second half being useful to someone else. What makes it work: we share experience, not advice — nobody is allowed to tell you what to do, only what happened to them. And Chatham House Rule means people bring their real problems instead of the polished ones. 🎯 **NOBODY LEAVES WITH NOTHING** Before we scatter, the host asks one question out loud: who still doesn't have an answer? Every hand gets the room's attention — and someone in it has the contact you need. That's the last twenty minutes of the evening, and it's often where the useful thing happens. 🤝 **AND THE SIDE EFFECT WORTH MENTIONING** Two hours of solving problems next to people is how co-founders, advisors and first hires actually find each other. You mark who you'd work with again — and we connect you only when both sides say yes, within 48 hours. No cold intros, no lists. 📋 **ONE THING IS REQUIRED BEFORE YOU COME** After you book, you'll get a short form in our [Mini App:](https://ascentvalley.com/community "https://ascentvalley.com/community") your problem in one line, a bit of context, and how long it's been unresolved. Three minutes. It goes on the board and the room votes — if your problem isn't submitted, it isn't on the board. You'll still be in the room and in the closing round, just working on someone else's problem. 👥 **WHO'S IN THE ROOM** · Founders pre-seed to Series A · Technical builders and operators · People who came to solve, not to be sold to. Hosted by **Andrew Krylow.** He greets every guest at the door, seats you at the right table, and makes the introductions - nobody stands alone at this event. WHAT'S GUARANTEED: a curated room of 30–45 people, two working sessions, mutual matches within 48 hours. WHAT WE DON'T PROMISE: a room full of investors. Some evenings have angels and scouts in the room, some don't - we'd rather you know that before you buy. Three rules, said out loud in sixty seconds: what's said here stays here · we share experience, not advice · moving to another table mid-session is normal, not rude. Registration required — the room caps at 45. Check-in through the Ascent Valley Mini App inside Telegram: everyone you meet stays saved, matched and reachable after tonight.

San Francisco Co-Founder Matching: Find a Partner by Solving Real Problems

Sat, Oct 10, 2:00 AM

From Startup Networking & Founder Ecosystem | San Francisco

4.4

Join founders, investors and tech talent at this curated **startup networking event in San Francisco.** Meet ambitious builders, exchange ideas and discover new opportunities in a dynamic community environment. **RSVP: [Use this link](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/san-francisco-co-founder-matching-find-a-partner-by-solving-real-problems-tickets-1997948333248?aff=oddtdtcreator&keep_tld=true)** **Please note that RSVP is managed via Eventbrite to control attendee lists — don’t ignore it to avoid issues with on-site payment.** You don't find a co-founder by reading a profile. You find one by working. Two hours next to someone shows you how they think, argue and cut scope. A profile shows you nothing. So we don't do matching — we do work, and the partnership question answers itself. 🧩 YOUR PROBLEM IS ON THE BOARD BEFORE YOU WALK IN After you book, you send us one line: the problem you're bringing. By the time you arrive it's already on the board with everyone else's. The room votes, the top problems get the tables — five people, twenty-five minutes each, one problem at a time. Two minutes to explain it. Three minutes of questions only. Eight minutes while the table works on it out loud and you turn your chair around and take notes — you don't defend, you don't explain, you write. Two minutes for what you're taking away. Halfway through there's a second vote, so the problems that didn't make the first round get their turn. By the end you've worked shoulder-to-shoulder with eight to ten people. That's a filter no profile gives you. 🎯 NOBODY LEAVES WITH NOTHING Before we scatter, the host asks one question out loud: who still doesn't have an answer? Every hand gets the room's attention — and someone in it has the contact you need. 🤝 MUTUAL MATCHES ONLY You mark the people you'd build something with. We connect you only when both sides say yes, within 48 hours. No cold intros, no lists, no awkward follow-ups to people who weren't interested. 📋 ONE THING IS REQUIRED BEFORE YOU COME A three-minute form in our [Mini App](https://ascentvalley.com/community "https://ascentvalley.com/community"): your problem in one line, some context, how long it's been unresolved. Only submitted problems make the board and the vote. 👥 WHO'S IN THE ROOM Solo founders looking for a technical or commercial partner · engineers and builders who want to co-found, not take a job · product and GTM operators ready for zero-to-one · founders with a team who came to unstick something. Hosted by Andrey Krylow. He greets every guest at the door, seats you at the right table, and makes the introductions — nobody stands alone at this event. WHAT'S GUARANTEED: a curated room, two working sessions, mutual matches within 48 hours. WHAT WE DON'T PROMISE: a co-founder by the end of the evening, or a room full of investors. What we promise is the working session that tells you who's worth a second conversation. Three rules, said out loud in sixty seconds: what's said here stays here · we share experience, not advice · moving to another table mid-session is normal. Registration required. Check-in through the Ascent Valley Mini App inside Telegram: everyone you meet stays saved, matched and reachable after tonight. Ascent Valley — a founder and investor ecosystem across 21 cities.
