## Claude Code vs. Codex: Loops, Graphs, and Harnesses This is a casual pair-programming meetup for developers experimenting with Claude Code, Codex, and agentic coding workflows. There is no formal presentation and no fixed curriculum. Bring a laptop, a repository, a side project, or a workflow you want to test. We will work in small groups, compare approaches, debug problems, and share what is working. Possible areas to explore include: Building iterative coding-agent loops Comparing Claude Code and Codex on the same task Designing graph-based agent workflows Creating reusable coding harnesses Managing context across large repositories Running tests and validating agent-generated changes Using sandboxes, permissions, and approval steps Coordinating subagents or parallel tasks Measuring latency, token usage, cost, and completion quality Debugging failed or incomplete agent runs You do not need to be an expert in either tool. This meetup is for people who want hands-on time to experiment, pair with other developers, and learn through building. Bring something you are working on, or join someone else’s project.

# Claude Touches Grass 🌲🥾💻 Close the laptop—but don’t stop coding. Join Coffee & Code Philadelphia for a hardcore outdoor coding session where developers, founders, researchers, and AI builders take Claude out of the terminal and onto the trail. Bring your Apple Vision Pro, connect to Claude Code through remote control on your phone, or pack whatever portable setup lets you ship from the wilderness. We’ll hike, find a scenic place to set up, and spend focused time building together surrounded by actual trees instead of desktop wallpaper. This is not a screen-free wellness retreat. There will be code. ### What to expect A social group hike with Philadelphia’s tech community Dedicated outdoor coding and building time Claude Code sessions controlled remotely from your phone Apple Vision Pro and other unconventional coding setups Conversations about AI, startups, open source, and whatever you’re building Optional food or coffee with the group afterward Bring a project you want to advance, a difficult bug you want to defeat, or a completely unreasonable idea you want to prototype in the woods. All hiking and coding experience levels are welcome. We’ll share the route, distance, difficulty, parking information, and weather updates before the event. ### What to bring A phone with Claude remote control configured Apple Vision Pro, laptop, tablet, or another portable setup A charged power bank Mobile hotspot or cellular data Comfortable hiking shoes Water and snacks Weather-appropriate clothing Sunscreen or bug spray as needed Your fully online, artificially hosted neural network Friends are welcome—even the ones who don’t know what Claude is. For everyone’s safety, save the immersive coding for our designated stops. Do not wear a Vision Pro or stare at your phone while actively hiking. Come touch grass, summon Claude, and ship something in the wilderness. 🌿

Philly knows by now one idea can change your entire workflow. We’re talking about the magic that happens when you run multiple AI agents toward one goal. A lot of people are experimenting with this on their own. It’s rare to get a chance to be in a room and compare notes on what actually works. Learn how to make the flows, the best agents for each step, and new skills you haven’t heard of yet. If you love being around the most curious builders, this is the room. Whether you’ve built agent teams before or you’re just curious about how others are doing it on their projects, come hang with the community and leave with new ideas to try for yourself. What to Expect: This is our first Grok Bot Meetup! So if you’ve been meaning to come to one of these, make it this one. Please RSVP so we can plan. We’re looking forward to seeing what you’re building.

This workshop will introduce NASA’s upcoming Artemis missions, emerging research areas in cislunar space, and opportunities for programmers, engineers, students, and space enthusiasts to contribute to humanity’s return to the Moon. Participants will learn the fundamentals of orbital motion, reference frames, trajectory design, and orbit propagation before exploring current research in cislunar space situational awareness, lunar landing and descent, and space robotics. The session will conclude with a short Python demonstration of selenocentric orbit propagation using planetary ephemerides. The workshop will be led by Scott Blender, a third-year Ph.D. student in aerospace engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) and a researcher in the Advanced Space Concepts Laboratory. His research focuses on spacecraft guidance, cislunar space domain awareness, and lunar-surface sensor networks. He previously interned at AstronetX, a startup developing an optical system for cislunar space situational awareness. The workshop will be organized as follows: 1. NASA’s Return to the Moon Through Artemis 2. Fundamentals of Orbital Motion: Kepler’s Laws and Newtonian Gravitation 3. Two-Body Orbit Propagation, Reference Frames, and Selenocentric Orbits 4. Emerging Cislunar Research: Space Situational Awareness, Lunar Landing and Descent, and Space Robotics 5. Live Python Demonstration: Ephemeris-Supported Orbit Propagation 6. Q&A and Opportunities to Get Involved

## Claude Code Saturdays 🤖💻 A weekly hands-on meetup for builders using Claude to write, refactor, and reason about code. Claude Code Saturdays is a relaxed, collaborative session for developers, founders, and tinkerers who want to explore what’s possible with Anthropic’s Claude for real-world coding tasks. Whether you’re prototyping a new app, improving an existing codebase, or just experimenting with AI-assisted development, this meetup is a space to learn by doing. ### What to Expect 🧑‍💻 Live coding & pair-building with Claude 🔍 Prompting techniques for better code generation and refactoring 🧠 Reasoning-heavy tasks: debugging, architecture, tests, and docs 🚀 Show & tell: share what you’re building or stuck on ☕ Casual, friendly atmosphere—bring your laptop and curiosity ### Who Should Attend Software engineers (any level) Startup founders and indie hackers Students learning to code with AI Anyone curious about AI-assisted development with Claude You don’t need to be an expert—just a willingness to experiment and learn together. ### What to Bring A laptop A project, idea, or problem (optional but encouraged) Access to Claude (or just come observe and discuss) Let’s spend our Saturdays building smarter, faster, and more thoughtfully—with Claude as our coding companion. 👉 RSVP and join us for Claude Code Saturdays!
