What is Claude Code ABQ?
We're a community of developers who build with AI coding tools — and we're honest about what works and what doesn't. Claude Code is our primary tool right now, but we're not married to anything. We experiment, we compare, and we share what we find. If something else starts outperforming, we'll be the first to say so.
Every month, we get together and show each other what we're building, what's working, and what isn't. Live demos, hands-on exploration, real talk. No slides full of hype — just developers sharing notes from the trenches.
Open to all skill levels — from bootcamp students writing their first app to senior engineers shipping production systems. Based at the CNM STEMulus Center in downtown Albuquerque, hosted by Deep Dive Coding.
What to Expect
Show & Tell
People demo what they've been building with AI coding tools. Real projects, real workflows, honest results.
Hands-On Time
Bring your laptop and try it yourself with guidance from fellow developers.
Honest Comparisons
We experiment with different AI coding tools and share what we find. No tool loyalty — just honest results.
All Levels Welcome
Whether you're learning to code or shipping production apps, there's a seat for you.
Code of Conduct
Be respectful. Treat everyone with kindness regardless of skill level, background, or experience.
No recruiting spam. This is a learning community, not a hiring event. Casual networking is great; aggressive recruiting is not.
Come to learn and share. Ask questions, show your work, help others.
Keep it legal and ethical. Don't share proprietary code or use AI tools in ways that violate terms of service.
Harassment-free zone. We follow a zero-tolerance policy. If someone makes you uncomfortable, reach out to the organizer.
