Searching for a Job in the Age of Hype:

There has been a lot of hype surrounding AI, particularly in machine learning (ML), ChatGPT, and even quantum computing. I’m interested in hearing about your personal experiences with job searching in AI, ML, and ChatGPT.

We're offering a FREE session to help you explore the fundamentals of web development and gain invaluable insight into the fast-paced world of technology.

By the end of this electrifying workshop, you will:
1. Grasp the magic behind HTML and CSS that brings the modern web to life.
2. Master essential JavaScript functions to supercharge your web pages
3. Uncover the secrets of CodeCrew's transformative adult coding career program

This is a fantastic opportunity for local tech professionals to connect over a delicious meal in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Lunch will be at Swanky’s Taco Shop.

This is a group for professionals in technology, or anyone interested in getting into technology, to get together for good company and conversation. Sometimes we talk tech, sometimes we talk movies/comics/restaurants/TV shows. Please come unwind after work with us. It is a lot of easygoing fun!

You’ll have the opportunity to meet our newly elected board and gain valuable insights into what’s ahead for 2025. This meeting will provide a vision of our goals, upcoming initiatives, and how we plan to drive success together. It’s a great chance to connect, ask questions, and learn how you can be involved in shaping our future.

Hey Memphis, are you ready to start off 2025 on the right foot? Hand over the computer work to a bot, so we have more time to talk to humans in person.
