These are our regular Monday evening electronics nights. Everyone from absolute beginner to experienced is welcome. These evenings are not classes or tutorials, rather a very friendly informal evening. We have a wide range of people who come. Some are absolute beginners who do not even work or study electronics, but are interested to know more. Others have something that they are already working on. We almost always have some first time visitors and we always give them a tour of the space. Come in with your Pi, Arduino, or whatever you have. Bring your laptop. Maybe you want to make something, solder, breadboard or use our electronic gear. Maybe you have some vague ideas and just want to get started. Or maybe you’re just curious……if so, it’s fine to come along and just see what others are doing. If you would like to get even more involved and have the full use of our space, we would be delighted to have you as a full member. Membership brings many benefits. We are located behind Mr Price and the Bright Lights store on Kylemore Road. We have lots of free parking available.

​Most repeated computer tasks in life that *can* be automated, *should* be automated. If they aren’t, you’re leaving a scary amount of time and attention on the table. ​January is when everyone writes lists. This day is for people who’d rather write scripts. **NOTE: To confirm your registration you need to sign up here: [https://giveago.co/register/browser-agents](https://giveago.co/register/browser-agents)** We’re spending a full builder day building browser agents with **browser-use**, agents that literally click, scroll, log in, read pages, fill forms and move across the web like a real person. By the end of the day, you won’t just know *how* browser automation works, you’ll have automated something in your actual life or workflow. **Projects You Could Build** ​• A daily briefing agent that logs into multiple dashboards, collects numbers and sends you a summary • A form completion assistant that fills repetitive applications or admin tasks • A scraper that gathers data from a messy website and updates your sheet or Notion The goal is to experiment, collaborate and figure things out together. You’ll work in small teams to break real workflows into steps a browser agent can follow, and learn how to guide an LLM through actual webpages. In thus builder day you will ship a working browser automation that replaces something you do by hand. What to Expect ​• A hands-on day where you build with other passionate builders and share ideas • A simple, structured introduction to browser-use and how LLMs control a real browser • Lots of collaboration, quick debugging and people helping each other get their agents working • A final demo session where everyone presents their projects & shares learnings **NOTE: To confirm your registration you need to sign up here: [https://giveago.co/register/browser-agents](https://giveago.co/register/browser-agents)** **​🗓 Schedule** ​🕙 **11:00 AM** Doors open and workspace setup ⚙️ **11:15 AM** Intro to browser agents with browser-use 🧩 **11:30 AM** Guided setup and your first working agent 🚀 **12:00 PM** Start building 🍕 **1:00 PM** Lunch 🖥️ **4:30 PM – 5:30 PM** Demos Bring your laptop, charger, and one part of your life that should already be automated. **​Thanks to our sponsors** ​​\*\*[Browser Use](http://browser-use.com/) YC W25\*\*: The team giving AI agents real hands on the web, the ability to click, scroll, log in, fill forms, and move through messy websites like an actual person. ​​They have raised **$17M** in ther seed round to push this forward and they’re quickly becoming *the* layer that makes fully automated workflows possible. ## ​**​​Community Sponsor** ​​​​\*\*[Wolfpack](https://www.wolfpack-digital.com/?utm_source=giveago&utm_medium=live_event):\*\* Wolfpack Digital is an award-winning agency that designs, builds, and launches digital products for startups, scaleups, and enterprises. ​​​​With 200+ web and mobile apps delivered across fintech, healthcare, IoT, and more, their clients include Musgrave, Walgreens Boots Alliance, Deezer, and Sephora. ## ​**​Venue Partner** ​​\*\*[Baseline](http://baseline.community/):\*\* Baseline is an independent community and workspace for early-stage founders who are building breakout and break-through tech companies in Ireland. *** ## ​**​​Join the community** ​​​​[Give(a)Go](http://giveago.co/) is a community of builders, hackers and tinkerers that runs regular hands-on workshops and builder days! ​​​​Follow us on: [LinkedIn](https://www.giveago.co/linkedin) \| [Instagram](https://www.giveago.co/instagram) \| [Website](https://www.giveago.co/) \| [Github](https://github.com/orgs/Give-a-Go) *We’ll be taking photos and short video clips throughout the day for recap posts and marketing.

To meet regulatory standards like Solvency II and LDTI, reinsurance firms must simulate how thousands of insurance policies perform under thousands of potential economic futures. In data terms, this creates a **"Cartesian explosion"**—multiplying two manageable datasets creates a result set of billions of rows. This massive computational workload frequently overwhelms traditional on-premise infrastructure. In this session, [Zsolt Revay](https://www.linkedin.com/in/zsoltrevay/) and [Thomas Mager](https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomas-mager-71916716/) detail the engineering behind **"Overlay,"** the internal data application PartnerRe built to solve this scaling challenge. Overlay’s architecture decouples business logic from compute power. We use **Datavirtuality** as a semantic orchestration layer, while leveraging **Snowflake** strictly as a heavy calculation engine. By using an aggressive **SQL push-down strategy**, we treat the database as a compute cluster. This allows us to process that Cartesian explosion of policy data and stochastic scenarios right where the data lives—without moving it across the network. **Key Technical Discussion Points:** * **Optimisation:** Handling massive joins via parallel processing and strategic table materialisation. * **Performance:** Using Elastic Virtual Warehouses to achieve linear scaling, reducing processing time from **hours to minutes**. * **Economics:** Using Auto-Suspend and Resource Monitors to keep this massive compute power cost-effective. Attendees will learn how to architect a solution that balances the auditability required by regulators with the on-demand agility required by actuaries. **Event Details** 📍 **14th January \| Clayton Hotel** **18:00** \| Food & Drinks 🍽️🥂 **18:30** \| Scaling Reinsurance Compliance: The Engineering Behind PartnerRe’s "Overlay" **19:15** \| Drinks & Networking 🍻 Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with fellow data professionals and gain valuable insights into efficient Snowflake use, Gen AI applications, and proving the value of solid data modeling!

Bring your broken tech and trinkets to get them fixed by the skilled volunteers at TOG Hackerspace – with a bit of help from our friends at Dublin Maker! On **Sunday, 18 January 2026**, between **12 pm and 4 pm**, TOG Hackerspace will host the first Repair Cafe of the new year in our own space. At this event, volunteers will share their expertise and passion for repair, helping you fix your broken items and breathe new life into them. Whether it’s a malfunctioning gadget, a piece of clothing in need of mending, or a household item that’s seen better days, bring it along and let the team work their magic. ### What can you bring in? * Clothes and accessories * Toys * Small electrical appliances and electronics * Small furniture … and many other things! Safety testing (PAT) for electrical devices will be available. ### What happens at a repair cafe? At the Repair Café, you sit down with a fixer and work together on your item. You can learn how to repair it yourself, or simply watch and learn from the volunteers while enjoying a tea or coffee. TOG members will also be on hand to give you a tour of the space while you wait. It’s not a drop-off service – it’s a shared, social repair session. Even if something can’t be fixed, you’ll at least go home knowing what went wrong and what your options are. ### Why join a repair cafe? Repair Cafés are a great way to support a circular economy, reduce waste, and extend the life of your belongings. Every successful repair keeps resources in use for longer, saves money, and keeps items out of the bin. They’re also a lovely way to meet people, swap stories about well-loved objects, and pick up new skills in a relaxed setting. ### Where and when? **Where?** – TOG Hackerspace, Unit 1B Motor City, Kylemore Road, Dublin 12, D12 CF6V **When?** – Sunday 18 January 2026, 12 pm – 4 pm Admission is free – but please **book a ticket so we can plan numbers** – all are welcome!

2026 may be the last year many developers write code by hand. We need coding agents to solve complex problems in production codebases, but vibe coding alone won’t get us there. Vibe coding is all gas, no brakes. It burns up the context window until the agent slips on its own slop. You can go fast at first, but the more you stuff into the context window, the more tangled its outputs get. While the industry is rapidly increasing code generation speed, we still have to understand, review, merge, and maintain what gets shipped. This talk will outline how coding agents (Claude Code + Gas Town) work and a framework for orchestrating them to solve complicated problems in complex codebases. It’s about steering the model: doing the research to align intent, planning the approach up front, implementing in parallel steps, and breaking early. Human judgment still matters, but it should be spent on high-leverage decisions: what to build, what to forbid, and “what is quality?”, not cleaning up slop. Attendees will leave with a checklist to identify workflow and environment gaps that hold agents back, so you and your team can ship higher-quality software starting tomorrow.
