// Pune gets the same shape, refreshed for the month it lands in. A handful of loose threads — enough structure to skip the small talk, enough room for the tangent that gets good.
- 01Walk in at 11. Lunch around 1. Drift out by 3.
- 02Past-tense stories win. What did you actually build. Roadmaps can stay home.
- 03No decks. No demos. No performative posting.
- 04Phones face-down when the conversation gets good.
- 05No pitching across the room. Swapping numbers after coffee is fair game.
- 06Share your own stories outside. Leave everyone else’s stories in the room.
Want in?
A closed room of builders, not an audience. Bring one interesting thing you built in the past year; I read every note before shaping the room.
