Every second Saturday, our inclusive coding group Code & Coffee meets at Prototype PGH in Oakland from 1:30pm to 3:30pm! 💻☕

Code & Coffee is a monthly opportunity for you to practice your skills, meet new friends, and get help if you need it. Bring your laptop, your recent projects, and your programming problems! 👩🏿‍💻👨🏻‍💻👩🏻‍💻👩🏽‍💻👨🏿‍💻👨🏻‍💻

All are welcome regardless of skill level or programming language. If you're new to coding, we'll be right there to help you work through your questions as needed. 🧠📱📚

Code & Coffee events are relaxed and informal, and are intended as a way for our community to work together while providing each other with ongoing support and feedback. 🎮🕹️👾

AI is changing how developers find, consume, and interact with documentation. As coding assistants and AI agents become part of the developer workflow, documentation must be designed not only for human readers but also for AI systems.

Join us October 22 as Pittsburgh-based Senior Technical Writer [Steliana Vassileva](https://www.linkedin.com/in/steliana-vassileva-6b551645/) presents practical methods to make documentation accessible to AI agents, including AI-friendly Markdown, llms.txt and llms-full.txt endpoints, OpenAPI schemas, agent instruction files, semantic retrieval APIs, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. We’ll compare these options, explore how they work together, and describe steps to start building an AI-ready documentation strategy.

As always, the [Write the Docs code of conduct](https://www.writethedocs.org/code-of-conduct/) applies.
