The difference? An AI agent that understands my data infrastructure. This isn't about replacing data engineers, it's about eliminating the toil that keeps us from high-value work. In this talk, I'll share practical experiments with agentic workflows from my work at AstraZeneca and teaching 20,000+ students at DataMasteryLab. We'll explore: * What agentic workflows actually are (beyond the hype) * Live demo: AI-assisted pipeline debugging with LangGraph * Practical patterns: Schema evolution, data quality monitoring, self-healing pipelines * The feature engineering bridge: Helping data scientists love you * What AI still can't do (and why that matters) Whether you're skeptical about AI hype or already experimenting, you'll leave with concrete patterns you can implement in your pipelines next week. 2. **Explore the Kingdom - Cursor the Data Engineer** - [Jethro Reeve](jethro.reeve@gmail.com) I built [explorethekingdom.co.uk](http://explorethekingdom.co.uk/ "http://explorethekingdom.co.uk") over Christmas using Cursor with Opus-4.5 and GPT-5.2 for the data engineering and UI. I've pulled \~15 Government data sources and have them represented on a map of the UK. This kind of data aggregation tool sells for thousands to niche consultancies. I built it while playing Minecraft on Boxing Day. What would you use it for? (Why) Is the software world so slow to catch up with the capabilities of vibe coding? **Lightning Talks** 1. **Github Codespaces for Data Analysis with Python - [Stelios Christodoulou](stelios.xristodoulou@gmail.com)** 2. **TBC** \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **Logistics** Doors open at **6.30 pm** (get there early as you'll need to sign in with building security). Talks start at **7:00 pm**, with drinks afterwards from **9:00 pm** at The Banker (EC4). We have reduced capacity for this event, but there will be plenty of people to discuss data science questions with. Please unRSVP in good time if you realise you can't make it. We're limited by building security on the number of attendees, so please free up your place for your fellow community members. If you want me to trim lightning talks down to two or shorten any abstracts, say which ones.

This month we have a visiting speaker from think-cell, Sebastian Theophil, who will talk to us about error handling in C++26 (with sprinkles of C++23). We also have space for a shorter talk, or lightning talks. If you would like to speak - even for just five minutes, please drop something into cppldn.uk/speak. **think-cell** will also be supporting the group by providing pizza and drinks - thanks **think-cell**! Thanks, also, to **Maven Securities** for hosting us again, this month. **As usual we'll need your full name for the door list, so we'll be asking for this on registration** (as this may be different to your username). This data will only be used for the door list/ registration and not published anywhere or used for other purposes. If you'd like to speak at a future event please get in touch at [cppldn.uk/speak](http://cppldn.uk/speak). **Here's the approximate schedule:** **18:30** *Doors open* **19:00** "Intro and news" - *Phil Nash* **19:10** *"compile_assert - Compile time C++ assertions" - Jonathan Grant* I present compile_assert(expression, message), a new C++ keyword proposal for enforcing assertions at compile time within ordinary (non-constexpr) functions. compile_assert provides advanced asserts at compile time, not runtime. Used for bounds checking, parameter validation and data validation at compile time. All three major compilers (GCC, Clang, MSVC) are supported with a sample implementation. The example implementation does this by using GCC’s attribute error which works with Clang. **19:25** "Compile-Time Data Layout Transformation with C++26 Reflection" - *Arturs Kalnins* We’ll use C++26 static reflection and injection to convert an AoS into a SoA at compile time, live on the latest GCC, with zero macros and zero boilerplate. **19:40** *break* **20:00** "To Err is Human: Robust Error Handling in C++26" - *Sebastian Theophil* A walk through the new error handling features in C++26 — including \`std::expected\`, \`std::stacktrace\`, contracts, and more — and how they can help us write more robust, maintainable code. **21:00** *Conclusion, and moving on somewhere else* \-\-\- **About the speakers** *Sebastian* has been working at think-cell since it was founded in 2002. In the last few years, among many other things, he has ported think-cell to run on macOS. He also maintains the typescripten project, which lets programmers call JavaScript libraries from C++ code compiled to WebAssembly in a convenient and type-safe way. He enjoys leaving his desk from time to time to talk at international C++ conferences. *Jonathan* has been a Software Engineer since 2003, worked in the video games industry and also embedded space for a long time at Renesas in safety critical systems for the automotive sector in C and C++. He also develops bespoke machine learning software in C++. He has a BSc Computer Science and an MSc Software Engineering. *Arturs* is a C++ software engineer with a background in aerospace engineering, where he developed a strong foundation in mathematics and systems thinking. He builds reliable, high-performance systems across embedded software, networking, and distributed platforms, with a particular focus on modern C++ (23/26), Rust, and performance-critical design. He enjoys tackling complex engineering challenges, designing clean abstractions, and contributing to the standards and practices that help teams deliver robust systems effectively.

Register: [https://luma.com/london-mar5](https://luma.com/london-mar5) **Join our meetup for AI nerds, engineers & founders!** We share the latest insights about: *AI dev tools, Agent frameworks, RAG, vibe coding, and more!* ​​\*\*// FOR WHO\*\* ✅ Devs, Product peeps, Data lovers, ML engineers, Founders ✅ Anyone building with AI ⚠️ Some LLM knowledge required!\* Neo4j Session: **Living in an Agentic World (model) by Andreas Kollegger** What if we onboarded AI agents the same way we onboard employees? That's the key insight of "context graphs" - giving agents access to why decisions are made improves their performance. This leads to \*Agentic World Models\*: the convergence point where agent memory, knowledge graphs, and context graphs meet. Agents discover written policies and unwritten tribal knowledge, learn formal org structures and informal influence networks, and capture the \*decision traces\* that explain not just what happened, but why it was the right call. We'll cover: \- how to capture decisions traces \- how to query the context graph when making decisions \- a demo of what this looks like Together, we'll put context in context.

**New Dojo Location!** **Draft Day Columbus** 1130 Dublin Road Columbus, OH 43215 We're going to try a new dojo location for a few weeks and see how it works Dojos are informal Python group study sessions where everyone interested in Python gathers to learn about Python, help others with Python, or just hang out. Everyone is welcome from Python beginners to experts. Bringing a laptop is encouraged (we'll have extension cords and power strips). If there's something you want to learn leave a comment on this invite so we can plan ahead. We're looking for topic suggestions and people interested in presenting at our monthly meetings. To this end we've set up a survey form at [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/15eBKF1nQQ2XS5gzD4rvhVRHMBEj7lJtHuA9wXupS3Uc](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/15eBKF1nQQ2XS5gzD4rvhVRHMBEj7lJtHuA9wXupS3Uc)

We meet at lunch each week and each meeting follows a fairly organized agenda. First all participants pass their business cards around. Then each member and guest is invited to give a one-minute overview of their company and what is a perfect referral for the week. We always have a 10 minute presentation from one of the members about their business in more detail. And finally we pass referrals. You're welcome to visit. Nobody is ever put on the spot. Bring plenty of cards!

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.

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!
