“This is the most sensual description of eating pierogie I have ever encountered , and I love it!”

Every so often, I post something on the IheartPGH Facebook page that seems to strike a Pittsburgh nerve.

This Monday, local Pittsburgh software community, Code & Supply gathered some of their best and brightest in the old Paramount Film Exchange (now a co-working space) to show off what they’re working on. Matthew Beatty (@beattyml1) gave the developers a tour of his code generation suite called “Codgen“.
