šŸ“š Books & Social šŸø
šŸ“š Books & Social šŸø
šŸ“šReading books and discussing them are two distinct experiences! Conversations about books and sharing insights help us better appreciate literature and enrich our lives. Let's grab a drink (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) and discuss books we're currently reading or have recently enjoyed—whether poetry, fiction, or non-fiction. Bring your physical book or e-reader. There's no formal structure or agenda—just books and good conversation.šŸ’¬ It's a perfect place to get book recommendations and rediscover your reading momentum if you've hit a slump. We welcome readers of all backgrounds and interests! āš ļø**Something Happened?** If something unpleasant happened to you, it may happen to others. Even if it seems minor, don't hesitate to reach out to me. šŸ” **How to find us?** * When I reach the venue, I'll leave a comment in the meetup where the group is seated. Normally, the booking is in my name, so you can ask the staff for the group. * If you're unable to find us, leave a comment in the meetup page. I'll be able to guide you. We highly encourage you to move between tables and strike up conversations with fellow book lovers. These discussions about literature and reading recommendations are often the highlight of the event! As an organizer, I'm always looking for feedback about the event and suggestions for new events, so feel free to suggest ideas to me. šŸ’” I look forward to seeing you all! 😊

Daytona x Give(a)Go HackSprint
Daytona x Give(a)Go HackSprint
šŸš€ A one day build sprint at the frontier of AI agents & sandboxes Every time an AI agent writes code, it needs somewhere to run it. A real computer. Isolated. Fast. Disposable. Until recently, spinning one up took minutes. Daytona does it in under 90 milliseconds. That changes what is possible. **Registeration required on [luma page](https://giveago.co/register/hackspring).** **Please register here to confirm your post: [www.giveago.co/register/hackspring](https://giveago.co/register/hackspring)** On March 28th, we are bringing together Dublin’s most ambitious builders to explore what happens when you give AI agents fast, isolated compute and let them loose on real problems. *** # 🧠 What You Will Build **Design AI agents that demonstrate** * Sharp reasoning * Independent decision making * Safe execution in isolated sandboxed environments * Real world impact A sandbox is an isolated compute environment. A full computer spun up on demand where an agent can run code, browse the web, access files, execute workflows and disappear instantly. This is the infrastructure underneath tools like Claude Code, Codex and Browser Use. It is how serious agent systems run safely in production. *If it involves agents doing real work in the world, sandboxes are how you make it reliable and fast.* ✨ Every builder receives Daytona credits. šŸ† Top three teams earn thousands of dollars in compute. *** **Please register here to confirm your post: [www.giveago.co/register/hackspring](https://giveago.co/register/hackspring)** ## **Project Ideas:** * **Self-Evolving Agent** Spawn hundreds of agent variants in parallel, mutate prompts/tooling/memory, benchmark performance, and keep only the strongest. Darwinian selection for reasoning systems. * **Parallel coding agents** with full context on your codebase and all dependencies pre-loaded, running experiments simultaneously with different parameters and returning results fast. * **Research pipelines** that spin up isolated environments per experiment, run them in parallel, and aggregate outputs without any one run contaminating another. * **Evolutionary Fine-Tuning Lab** Run hundreds of fine-tuning jobs with varied hyperparameters and datasets in isolated sandboxes. Automatically rank, kill, and respawn better-performing models. *** ## What the day looks like šŸ•š 11:00 AM Doors open āš™ļø 11:30 AM Intro to Daytona and sandbox primitives šŸš€ 12:00 PM Hacking begins šŸ• 1:00 PM Lunch šŸ› ļø 1:30 PM Back to building šŸ–„ļø 4:45 PM Demos and judging šŸ† 5:30 PM Awards and close Bring your laptop, an idea, and something you’ve been wanting to automate. **Please register here to confirm your post: [www.giveago.co/register/hackspring](https://giveago.co/register/hackspring)** ## About Daytona **[Daytona](https://daytona.io)**: Daytona builds the compute infrastructure that AI agents actually need: sandboxes that launch in under 90ms, fork into parallel branches, and snapshot mid-execution. Their customers include LangChain, Browser Use and more. This is the tech underneath Claude Code, Codex and every serious agentic tool running the cloud today. ## Venue Partner ​​\*\*[Baseline](https://baseline.community/)\*\*: An independent community and fund for early-stage founders in Ireland. They write €100K first checks to technical founders, backed entirely by private investors. Looking for your first check? these are the people to be in a room with. ## Join the Community **[Give(a)Go](https://giveago.co)** is a Dublin-based builder community running hands-on technical events for ambitious people who make things. 30+ events. 1,000+ attendees.

Data & Analytics Wednesday - The Data-Driven Brand
Data & Analytics Wednesday - The Data-Driven Brand
**The Data-Driven Brand: Using Analytics to Shape Perception** Can you use analytics to improve tacos? This being CBUSDAW, we think the answer is probably ā€œyesā€, but we’re not sure how to implement or test this theory. For our April meetup we’ve got Sara Kear, CMO of Condado Tacos, to investigate this delicious question. Sara will explore how she blends quantitative data and qualitative customer feedback to shape brand positioning and drive business decisions. We all know that marketing and analytics go way beyond attribution. Sara will show how Condado uses customer insights to inform product and pricing strategy. She’ll also highlight how Condado leverages customer feedback at scale to influence operational priorities, positioning marketing as the voice of the customer across the organization. In the last 12 years Condado has gone from one location in Columbus to 52 locations across 10 states, so we’re guessing there’s more to that growth than really good guac (though the guac probably helps). Ultimately, this talk focuses on the intersection of art and science—using data to inform creativity and build a brand that resonates with customers in a measurable way. **About Our Speaker** Sara Kear is Chief Marketing Officer at Condado Tacos, where she oversees brand, restaurant design, menu and pricing strategy, off-premise including catering, and customer data strategy. Since joining in 2021, she has helped grow the brand from 19 to 52 locations while building a data-driven marketing organization focused on loyalty and customer insights. Condado has since been named to the Inc. 5000, recognized as Breakout Retailer by Chain Store Age, and consistently ranked among FastCasual’s Top 100 Movers & Shakers.
