+What's a problem that's been on your mind lately, one you think might actually have a solution, even a partial one? Not "solve world peace" scale, necessarily. Think smaller and more concrete: something in your industry, your city, your daily routine, or your codebase that bugs you, that you've caught yourself sketching solutions for even if only in your head.
+
+Is technology part of the fix? Could better tooling, automation, or a clever bit of software chip away at it? Or is technology part of the problem in the first place,  something that got broken or complicated in the name of progress? Maybe it's both: a problem tech created that only more (or different) tech can untangle.
+
+Come share the problem that's stuck in your head, and whatever half-baked solution you've been kicking around. We're not expecting anyone to have it all figured out — that's what the discussion is for.
