Columbus Code & Coffee meets again on 4/19 at Improving from 1-4pm! ⌨️☕

We’re thrilled to have Michael Geiger talk to our folks about using Effect for better software foundations, especially in the landscape of coding agents!

"Effect is a powerful TypeScript library and the logical extension of TypeScript. It pushes more of what usually stays implicit in TypeScript and JavaScript, failure, dependencies, side effects, and system boundaries, into the architecture, where it can be made explicit, reasoned about, and verified.

I’ll talk about my experience using it and how it has changed my approach to building software. We’ll cover what changes when you actually build this way, walking through real examples."

Columbus Code & Coffee meets again on 3/15 at Improving from 1-4pm! ⌨️☕

We’re excited to have Chandrashekhar (Shekhar) Vispute in a conversation on using AI in day-to-day scenarios.

For the first time in history, almost anyone can carry a highly capable digital assistant in their pocket. Access is no longer the advantage. Execution is.
In this session, I’ll share practical ways students, developers, and professionals can leverage AI in their day to day work. Not theory. Not hype. Real examples you can apply immediately.
We will explore:
• How AI can improve thinking, building, and decision making
• Practical use cases across roles and experience levels
• How to turn everyday tasks into measurable productivity wins
Whether you are just starting your journey or have years of experience in technology, this session is designed to help you use AI with intention and impact.

Columbus Code & Coffee gets together for its first meeting of 2026 on Sunday, 1/18, at @lifeatimproving from 1-4pm ⌨️☕

We’re excited to have Wesley Giles as they talk about structured directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) for AI orchestration.

"Pydantic Graph enables developers to build type-safe, declarative DAGs for orchestrating complex AI workflows using familiar Pydantic models. By combining Pydantic's validation with graph-based execution patterns, it provides a structured approach to chaining LLM calls, managing dependencies, and creating maintainable AI agent architectures.”

View Instagram Stories in Secret

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
