[Presencial]NerdZão#241 - Spec Driven Development
## \*\*Esse evento é aberto, todas as pessoas são bem recebidas!! \*\*
Este primeiro meetup do ano vai apresentar o **Spec Driven Development (SDD)**, uma abordagem em que a especificação vem antes de qualquer linha de código e passa a ser a fonte única de verdade de um sistema ou feature.
Em vez de começar programando e só depois documentar, a ideia é mostrar como definir contratos claros (APIs, regras de negócio, critérios de aceitação) que guiam desenvolvimento, testes e até o uso de IA na geração de código, reduzindo ambiguidades, retrabalho e aquele “vibe coding” difícil de manter em escala.
Nesse encontro vamos explicar o conceito, o contexto em torno de IA e engenharia moderna, benefícios práticos para times de produto e exemplos de como dar os primeiros passos com SDD em projetos reais.
Agradecemos imensamente a **Mercado Eletrônico** por apoiar a comunidade e tornarem este encontro possível!
Por ser um tema novo, muito procurado e esse evento ter espaço limitado, apenas confirme se você tem **100%** de certeza de que irá comparecer.
Uma boa notícia para os palestrantes de plantão, **Call For Papers Aberto!!** Então você que tem aquela palestra preparada ou até mesmo você que sempre quis palestrar e nunca teve oportunidade de falar sobre o tema, esse é o seu momento!
[Clique aqui ](https://forms.gle/BqzKKUb2VR6Rq8MXA)e submeta agora seu talk! Estamos ansiosos aguardando!
O evento é gratuito, menores de 18 anos deverão ser acompanhados pelos seus responsáveis e a apresentação do **DOCUMENTO** é **OBRIGATÓRIA** .

. (payable by pix)
What to Expect
1. Once you arrive, everyone picks their own bracelet. Red for advanced, Yellow for intermediate and White for beginners. This will help me give you question cards that are made for your level.
2. **Pick & Go:** Pick a **question card** and a partner.
3. **Walk & Chat:** Get to know each other using the question as a conversation starter.
4. **Switch Pairs:** Every 1km, we'll switch partners.
5. **Post-walk Hydration at Kiosk do Hulk:** After every walk and talk we stop at Kiosk do Hulk and have some coconut water and have free open conversation!

* **Listen actively**: Your partner’s stories become muchmore interesting when you're paying attention!
* **Respect boundaries**: Comfort is key. If you don't feel comfortably talking about a specific topic let your partner know. No pressure!
* **Go off-script**: The card is just a starter—follow the conversation wherever it leads!
**🌟 Pro Tip:**
The best convos mix the question + your own twists! Try:
*“That’s fascinating—why do you think you feel that way?”*
**🎯 Goal:**
Practice English, challenge yourself and leave with **new connections**, and who knows, maybe some**fresh perspectives**.
**That's it! Send me a message if you have any questions!**
Big hug!

*🎭 MEDEA de Sêneca 🎭
🎭Medea, na versão de Séneca, novo projeto do diretor Gabriel Villela, traz o desafio de colocar em cena a desmedida da fúria, da ira e da vingança. Até hoje, com raras montagens no Brasil, ao atribuir a responsabilidade dos atos humanos aos próprios indivíduos, as tragédias do filósofo romano Séneca ficaram por séculos fora do palco, sob a ideia de que sua violência só poderia ser suportada na leitura.
A peça será às 20h.
Credencial Plena R$ 21,00
Meia entrada R$ 35,00
Inteira R$ 70,00

Encontro In-person para prática de conversação em Inglês: Conversation meeting
Meeting tradicional do English Brazil para a prática do inglês em encontros presenciais.
Esse é um meeting que já é tradicional. Nos reunimos sempre em um local público para praticar conversação em inglês, e ficamos do lado de uma cafeteria para que você possa comprar o seu café enquanto conversa com a gente.
O objetivo é criar um ambiente descontraído e amigável para que todos possam praticar o inglês sem pressão. Não importa se você é iniciante ou avançado, todos são bem-vindos! Não é necessário confirmar presença, e o valor é de graça, também não cobramos nada para participar. Apenas apareça, mostre interesse, e alguém irá te convidar para puxar uma cadeira para perto da mesa para praticarmos.
Tradicionalmente nos reunimos sempre às sextas-feiras, dentro do Shopping Center 3 (ao lado da estação Consolação do metrô), no térreo, em frente à cafeteria Havanna Café. Sempre das 20h00 às 22h00, quando o shopping fecha. Então, se quiser praticar a conversação em inglês em um ambiente amigável e sem precisar estabelecer nenhum compromisso, este é o local certo!
\-\-\-
And foreigners are also welcome!
We Brazilians always have a very healthy curiosity to learn about your ideas, your experiences, and the differences in customs and languages. We are also, by nature, very willing to help foreigners feel more at ease here in Brazil. It's also a great opportunity to network and meet locals who can make you feel at home.
We always meet on Fridays, inside Shopping Center 3 (next to Consolação subway station), on the ground floor, in front of the Havanna Café. Always from 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM, when the mall closes.

Columbus Code & Coffee 84 @ Improving
Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you!
**What to Expect at the Intro Circle**
\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~
Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup:
* Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics
Round 1 - (7 secs max):
* Your name
* What you're working on
* What you can help others with
Round 2:
* Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too.
Round 3:
* Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool.
After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!
Humanist Program: Fighting the Efforts to Insert Religion into Public Education
The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event.
Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk.
Our March speakers are Molly Gaines and Zack Parrish, co-organizers of the Secular Education Association:
They will share their story of how a small group of Ohio parents grew into a national organization tracking released-time religious instruction and other church–state issues in public schools. The presentation will cover SEA’s early wins and hard lessons, what we’re seeing nationally right now, and how local advocates can play a meaningful role in protecting public education. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of the landscape — and practical ways to get involved.
Going forward our meetings will be hybrid. You can meet us in-person or attend online

Board games at The Forge
The Forge does have a full bar and kitchen. There is no cover charge but they do request all attendees to purchase a minimum of ~$20 per person. Soft drink refills are $1 each. Please support our hosts so we can continue to provide great events for the group!
The Forge has a large library of games available for us to enjoy. Hosts and regulars will also provide numerous popular games but please bring any games you would like to teach and/or play.
Doors open at 6, and we expect gaming to be rolling by around 630. Please promptly end your games and clear out the space at 10pm when the bar closes.
We encourage socializing but do not permit disruptive behavior of any kind. Thank you for your continued commitment to providing a fun and welcoming space to veteran, newbie, and rookie gamers in the Columbus area.
Parking can be challenging. There is a parking lot behind the neighboring Mexican restaurant that is free and easy to walk from but it's a bit hidden.
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.

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.

CBusData - Discover the Power of Window Functions
Window functions have nothing to do with the Windows operating system but provide a “window” to a result set when used in SQL queries. They are powerful, set-based methods to view data in unexpected ways. Window functions provide easy, set-based solutions to solve some common problems:
* Using running totals
* Performing operations in intervals
* Identifying data gaps and islands
* Performing aggregates without losing detail
Many people are confused by window functions and do not know how to use them properly. This session will explore window functions, how they work, and how to use them. Demonstrations with several examples will solidify how window functions can simplify queries and make them more powerful.
