AI DevTools: SDLC Productivity from Prompt to Production
The AI DevTools revolution is here, and it's time to separate the signal from the noise! Join **Dublin MUG (MongoDB User Group)** and **GitTogether Dublin** for a hands-on technical deep dive - evening exploring the AI-powered tools that are reshaping how we build software.
We aren't just looking at autocomplete; we are exploring the entire Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). We’ll map out the best tools from the landscape and show you how to build a developer environment where your AI agent actually understands your data.
Whether you're already using AI coding assistants daily, curious about integrating AI into your development workflow, or want to connect with other developers navigating this space, this meetup is for you!
\*\*Bring your laptops!!
**🛠️ What we’re building:**
* **SDLC Mapping:** We’ll start by categorizing the "chaos"—mapping AI tools to the SDLC (Coding, Testing, Docs, and Ops).
* **The Agent Workshop:** A hands-on setup of a **GitHub Copilot Agent** using the **Model Context Protocol (MCP)**. We’ll get everyone’s environment "Agent-ready."
* **The Data Connection:** We’ll hook that agent into the **MongoDB MCP Server**. You’ll see how Copilot can explore schemas, write aggregation pipelines, and query Atlas directly from your natural language prompts.
* **Performance & Optimization:** A showcase of the "essential" stack—**MongoDB Compass AI Chat**, the **VS Code MCP bridge**, and using AI to solve real-world performance bottlenecks.
**📅 Agenda (6:00 PM - 8:30 PM)**
**6:00 \- 6:30 PM \| Intro\, Networking & Pizza 🍕**

Thursday Language Exchange @ River Bar
Join us to **practise and improve your target language with native speakers on Thursday downstairs in River Bar** (Burgh Quay, Dublin 2) from **6.30pm to 8.30pm**.
**Our system:**
**• You sit opposite a native speaker of the language you're learning**
**• You speak 5mins English, 5mins other language, then change table**
This ensures everyone gets an equal opportunity to practise the language they're learning. Our team seats people, controls the time, organises the table changes etc.
What to expect:
• Relaxed easy going atmosphere
• Professional and quality service
• Great networking opportunities
• All levels welcome from absolute beginner to fully fluent
• A big mix of ages with attendees at each event from 18 to 70+ years old
• Topic cards on the tables to help start conversations
Wide range of languages:
We usually have **native speakers of English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, German, Italian, Japanese, Chinese** and more depending on who shows up.
**Admission fee €7** (€6 for student card holders). **No pre-registration required, just show up**. Loyalty card system: Come to 5 events and the 6th is free.
Over 150,000 people have attended our language exchange events since 2012 to practise and improve their target language - you can too! Everyone is welcome!

Exclusive Growth Circle: For Growth-Minded Professionals and Founders
If you’ve ever left a meetup thinking *‘Nice people, but nothing really happened’* — this space was created for you.
The Growth Circle is an **exclusive, in-person gathering** for professionals who are done with loud bars, random networking, and unstructured meetups.
We meet **every 6 weeks** in a **dedicated private room in a bar** — intentionally separated from the public area.
This means:
* no background noise
* no interruptions
* no competing conversations
Just a room designed for **real focus and meaningful exchange**.
### **What this is (and what it isn’t)**
This is:
* a space to reflect, reset, and refocus
* a room where action matters more than titles
* a community built around **doing**, not talking
This is not:
* a casual after-work hangout
* a place to collect contacts
* a “free inspiration” event
### **Why there’s a €9.99 fee**
Most people don’t mind paying —
they mind paying for the **wrong experience**.
This fee exists to prevent:
* uncommitted drop-ins
* people who just want to network without contributing
* wasted time and low-energy rooms
The result:
* everyone arrives prepared
* conversations stay intentional
* the experience stays worth coming back to
### **Who this circle is for**
✔ Growth-minded professionals & founders
✔ People who respect their own time
✔ Those who want to leave feeling clearer than they arrived
### **Selection & Quality Control**
Places are limited and **personally selected**.
Not everyone will be accepted — and that’s intentional.
The goal is a room where **every person adds value**.

International Relations / Foreign Policy Group – Columbus Inaugural Meetup
**Welcome to the inaugural meeting of the International Relations / Foreign Policy Group Columbus!**
This group brings together students, professionals, academics, and anyone interested in global affairs, diplomacy, and geopolitics.
Our first meetup will be an informal discussion focused on current international developments and global trends. This is a great opportunity to:
• Meet others interested in international relations and foreign policy
• Discuss current global events and geopolitical developments
• Exchange perspectives and ideas in a respectful environment
• Build a network of globally minded individuals in Central Ohio (Columbus and periphery)
**Discussion topics may include:**
* Strategic planning for the group and the way forward
* US foreign policy priorities in 2026
* Major geopolitical developments (Europe, Asia, Middle East)
* Global security and strategic competition
* International economic and diplomatic trends
No prior expertise is required—everyone is welcome, whether you're a student, professional, or simply interested in world affairs.

I look forward to meeting everyone and building a strong international relations / foreign policy community in Central Ohio.
Spec-Driven Development with GitHub Spec-Kit - Barret Blake
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
*Spec-Driven Development with GitHub Spec-Kit: From Intent to Implementation*
Spec-driven development flips the traditional workflow on its head: instead of code being the source of truth, the specification becomes the backbone of design, collaboration, and delivery. In this session, we’ll explore how GitHub Spec-Kit enables teams to treat specifications as first-class artifacts—living documents that drive architecture, implementation, and verification.
You’ll learn how Spec-Kit helps teams clearly express intent using structured, version-controlled specs that live alongside code. We’ll walk through a practical workflow that starts with defining system behavior and constraints, then progressively refines those specs into testable, automatable outcomes. Along the way, we’ll show how specs can reduce ambiguity, improve cross-functional collaboration, and make design decisions explicit before a single line of production code is written.
This talk will cover:
--What spec-driven development is (and what it isn’t)
--How GitHub Spec-Kit fits into modern developer workflows
--Using specs to align product, engineering, and AI-assisted development
--Real-world examples of turning specs into implementations with confidence
Whether you’re building greenfield systems, integrating AI into your stack, or trying to reduce costly rework, spec-driven development offers a scalable way to move faster without sacrificing clarity. Attendees will leave with concrete patterns and a clear mental model for adopting GitHub Spec-Kit in their own projects.
