AI Governance for Developers: How to Use AI Agents Safely Without Slowing Down
**Quick heads up: RSVPing here helps us gauge interest, but you’ll need to complete your registration on AI Camp to save your spot and get event updates. It only takes a minute. Sign up [here](https://www.aicamp.ai/event/eventdetails/W2026021910) and you’re all** **set**.
**[https://www.aicamp.ai/event/eventdetails/W2026021910](https://www.aicamp.ai/event/eventdetails/W2026021910)**
AI is already part of how developers work: Coding assistants. Autonomous agents. Background tasks. PR reviews. But in most companies, AI usage is either completely ungoverned or quietly blocked.
This meetup is for developers who want to understand what AI governance actually means in practice, without turning their workflow into a compliance nightmare.
We’ll focus on how teams are introducing guardrails that protect source code, credentials, and infrastructure while still letting developers move fast. No policy decks. No buzzwords. Just real examples of how AI agents are being used safely inside modern dev environments.
**You’ll walk away with:**
\- A clear understanding of what AI governance actually means for developers\, not just security teams
\- Insight into why AI agents need different permissions than humans and where most teams get this wrong
\- Practical examples of how guardrails can speed teams up instead of slowing them down
\- A simple mental model you can apply whether you’re experimenting with AI locally or rolling it out across a team
**Who this is for:**
\- Beginner → intermediate software developers
\- Platform engineers and DevOps folks supporting dev teams
\- Anyone using \(or wanting to use\) AI tools beyond simple autocomplete
**Agenda:**
\* 6:00pm\~6:30pm: Checkin, Food and Networking
\* 6:30pm\~6:45pm: Welcome/community update
\* 6:45pm\~8:30pm: Tech talks and Q&A
\* 8:30pm\~9:30pm: Open discussion & Mixer

Automate All the Things?
🏎️ **If you’re not automating yet… you probably are.**
Be honest: how much of your job are you already secretly automating, and how much of it is just automation in disguise?
In this session, **[Ellis Pratt](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ellispratt/)**, director of **[Cherryleaf](https://www.cherryleaf.com/)**, will take a clear, no-hype look at automation in technical communication. He’ll rewind to where things stood just over a year ago, then discuss what’s changed since.
We’ll explore how automation shows up across the technical writing lifecycle, and common pitfalls that come with it.
Finally, we’ll look ahead. What does increasing automation really mean for our careers as technical writers and documentarians?
Join us for an honest, practical conversation about what to automate, what not to, and how to stay relevant as the tools keep changing.
**📣 This event is aimed at technical writers and those working in closely related roles. The discussion will focus on automation and AI specifically in the context of technical documentation and technical content workflows.**
**When:** Thursday 19 February, from 6.30pm

BOOK YOUR TICKET 👉🏼 [HERE](https://itsadate.club/event/speed-dating-in-the-city-133/).
Join London’s #1 dating events team and 36 outgoing, single guests for an action-packed evening of speed dating in The City.
Located on Gresham Street, just a 3-minute walk from Bank Station, The Anthologist is a contemporary bar featuring a cosy private area reserved exclusively for your *It’s a Date* event. With its warm, welcoming vibe, a charismatic host, and a great crowd of outgoing single guests, you’ve got the perfect recipe for a fantastic Friday night of speed dating!
Our host will be at the venue ready to welcome you at 19:30. Please arrive on time for registration, to grab any drinks from the bar, and receive a summary of how things will work. You will be given an optional name sticker, a pen, and note card to keep track of everyone you’ve met.
Ladies will be seated on tables adequately spaced, discreetly numbered, and arranged in a comfortable area of the venue. When speed dating commences, gents will join ladies for 5-minute dates to get to know one another. Your host will notify all guests at the end of each date, signalling for gents to move to the next table in ascending numerical order.
During table rotations you will have a moment to record on note cards your feelings towards the previous date and intention to reconnect, for your reference only.
Mid-way through the evening, your host will indicate a 15-minute comfort break to use the rest room, head to the bar, or socialise with new connections. Dating will then resume for the second half of the evening.
At the end of the speed dating the bar will remain open for more socialising. You can then access the event listing in your dashboard to enter feedback on dates and await your matches.

Meetup #13 - AI Coding The Right Way
NOTE: This meetup is more technical than our normal subjects! Everyone is welcome to join but the content will be designed for developers and engineering leaders.
Shaping our future with AI. Creating opportunity through AI fluency, connection and community.
No jargon. No hype. No confusing terminology.
**Join us for our next in-person meetup in London on Thursday February 19th.**
Our theme for this meetup is **AI Coding the right way.** We'll be joined by Daniel Jones (AI Consultant, re:cinq) who has taught over 100 developers how to get the most of AI tools. Then we welcome a panel of engineering leaders to discuss the lessons they have learned on getting the best from their teams with new tools!
**Where and When?**

* Talks start at 19:00
* Tessl HQ, 210 Pentonville Rd, London N1 9JY, UK
**Talk: Agentic Coding For 100 Developers** (Daniel Jones)
How has a $3b Stockholm SaaS company transitioned 100 developers to AI-native development over a few weeks? Deejay shares how he helped Odevo with exactly this, but the answer might be more than you expect - it involves just as much discovery and psychology and it does training. Learn about the social and business pre-requisites for such a transformation, the syllabus that enables developers to use multi-agent workflows, and how 'one-and-done' training is insufficient for this type of behavioural change.
**About Deejay:**
Deejay is an AI Consultant at re:cinq, and has over a decade of experience in assisting organisations with tech transformation. He's been a developer, manager, entrepreneur, keynote speaker, father, bassist, martial arts instructor, games developer, and wearer of a rather silly moustache.
**Expert Panel: Leading Dev Teams Through AI Adoptions**
There are no right answers but there is certainly a lot of talk about when it comes to adopting AI coding tools in the right way. This expert panel will share the lessons they've learnt so far and what's working for their teams.

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.
