One of the few Memphis tech spaces where beginners practice out loud, and senior engineers listen closely. January’s Code & Share Virtual Meetup delivered exactly that.

Across AI, automation, web apps, and game development, Memphis technologists shared real projects and real lessons.

A few highlights worth your time:

16 LLMs, one experiment
Kevin Kawchak ran a live code-generation showdown that showed what rigorous experimentation actually looks like using tools builders already have.

Projects > language lists
Richard Whittington’s baseball road-trip app sparked a great conversation about user‑driven features and using projects to show problem-solving skills while interviewing.

Portfolios as storytelling
Coriano Harris reframed portfolios as a narrative for early-career developers to communicate identity, not just skills.

Creative constraints work
From a Pico-built game to Google Apps Script automation, several demos reinforced that momentum often starts with small, focused builds.

Shipping for real people
E-commerce for a local artist. Recipe planning with practical AI. Tools designed for everyday use instead of demos for demos’ sake.

This is what Code & Share does well:
It creates space for learning across experience levels, where curiosity is welcomed, and projects become shared momentum.
