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."

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.
