A twice-a-month meetup where grocery store workers build tools, solve real workflow problems, and explore software together. No experience required — just curiosity.
Meeting #14
Casual, wide-ranging session. Whit shared that an HEB SXP/Digital team partner he'd met in-store submitted the Store Assistant CAPTCHA/Siri-shortcut idea to HEB's internal suggestion box, and Lawrence demoed his personal Christmas-lighting home-automation project — a spatial fixture database with local-network light control, running on his home server with Claude's help. The group revisited the old Cooking Connections recipe-history site, discussing why HEB had it taken down and feature ideas for a future version. After Lawrence left, Whit and Yohannes talked AI ethics, limitations, and vibe coding, then Yohannes gave an in-depth walkthrough of the Godot 2D action game he's building solo — combo timers, elemental status effects, and a composition-over-inheritance architecture.
