Not just the locals at our destinations, but also the travelers we meet along the way—at airports, rest stops, perhaps trains. Do you have stories of any such encounters? Perhaps someone who borrowed your phone charger, then ended up telling you their life story. Someone you found interesting, spent talking the half the night, but were too shy to ask for their contact. Or someone who went out of their way to help you in a crisis. Join us and share stories of your encounters during your travels.

With the rise of AI, software and application development is changing fast. Today, it’s less about whether you code in Vue, React, or another framework—it’s about **how you leverage AI-driven development** and which languages and frameworks work best with LLMs. At this meetup, we’ll explore how AI is transforming software development. Even if you focus solely on frontend, you’ll discover new approaches and practices that can reshape the way you build applications. Join us to discuss **Agentic Engineering** and the new horizons AI opens for developers!

Join us for an evening of deep technical insights into the future of AI-assisted software development. This meetup brings together industry leaders to explore cutting-edge approaches to agentic engineering, from specification-driven development to preserving human flow states in AI-powered workflows. **Venue:** Suntec Tower 3, 8 Temasek Boulevard, #30-01/02, Singapore 038988 **Date:** 25 Feb **Schedule:** * 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM: Registration & Networking * 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM: Speaker Sessions & Q&A ## Featured Speakers **Sergey Saburov, Director of Software Engineering, Acronis** **Topic:** *Spec-Driven Development: Modern Strategies for Human-AI Collaboration* Dive into an in-depth comparison of specification-first methodologies in the era of AI-assisted engineering. This session evaluates different approaches to Spec-Driven Development (SDD), contrasting rigid, blueprint-heavy frameworks with lightweight, iterative change-tracking systems. Sergey examines practical workflows—from initial design to automated implementation—discussing how treating specifications as the "Source of Truth" helps teams eliminate technical debt, minimize AI hallucinations, and maintain architectural integrity in complex codebases. **Sanjeev Solanki, NLP Lead Engineer (AI),** **Constructor Technology** **Topic:** *AI Research Assistant: From Papers to Production with Agentic AI* This talk explores how AI can go beyond chatbots to become a structured research collaborator. We’ll look at an AI Research Assistant that reads papers, analyzes code, understands datasets, and generates executable plans using multi-agent orchestration. Learn how agentic workflows and context engineering help reduce hallucinations and bridge the gap between research ideas and production-ready solutions. **Ake, Developer Experience Director, Chainstack** **Topic:** *Building a Flow State Companion for Agentic Coding* We as humans have the capability of entering flow states—the deeply productive, creative, and rewarding sessions that almost always produce the best results. Flow requires consciousness. AI doesn't have one, and it can easily snap yours. Multi-instance agents, parallel workflows, and orchestrated swarms are TikTok for builders. In this talk, Ake shares his experience building a solution to protect flow, navigating the intricacies of cognition and metacognition along the way. ## What to Expect * Cutting-edge insights into AI-assisted development workflows * Practical strategies for human-AI collaboration * Networking opportunities with engineering leaders and practitioners * Q&A sessions with industry experts **Registration opens at 6:00 PM. We look forward to seeing you there!**

***THERE ARE BIG SCREENS FOR THE START OF THE WINTER OLYMPICS*** 👍 After being cooped up all week with this snow and cold, it’s a great time to get up out of the house and join us for a fun time at the Pint House!! **Come anytime during 4-8. Stay as long as you want. No set time*** **WE’RE NOW IN A BIGGER AREA!** It’s a chance to meet people in our age group regardless if you’re in your fifties, sixties or seventies! Retired or still working.

This is an in-person meeting. Did you know that unwanted emotions like loneliness, sadness, hopelessness, anger, fear, anxiety, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not chemical imbalance in your brain due to some nebulous chemical reactions by chance. Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you. The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life. For instance, let's say you are already carrying a huge load on your back, then you cannot take on much more, but, let's say something else happens to you, such as the difficulties from the Pandemic, then the resultant combined weight on you can take you over the edge, kind of like the straw that break the camel's back. When this happens, people's attention usually goes to the straw that was added, but actually the majority of the weight had come from the huge load that were already there, holding a person down and causing a person issues. So how do you remove the huge load that was already there? How do you lighten them up? Is it possible to get rid of them? That is what this meeting will be all about. Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

If you are interested in selecting investment choices for your 401(k) or other workplace savings plan, minimizing your income tax liability, or identifying the most effective investments for your brokerage account, we are the group for you.
