Technical Analysis

Applied to 1,000+ jobs and still hearing silence? The job search "rules" on social media are usually outdated. We’re cutting through the noise. **Nitish Galat** (BI Analyst at PredictX, ex-Google) is opening his playbook to show you exactly how to automate the boring stuff and land offers at top-tier UK firms. **This isn’t a sit-and-listen lecture. This is a "Bring Your Laptop and Build" session.** ### What we are Covering * **The "Auto-Pass" Blueprint (CV & Cover Letters):** Nitish breaks down the exact quantifiable achievements UK hiring managers look for in Data, Product, and BI roles. Learn how to craft a high-conversion CV and a personalized cover letter that actually gets read. Stop the "auto-reject" cycle before it starts. * **Interview Mastery:** Learn the technical and behavioral frameworks (including a data-driven take on the **STAR method**) that Nitish used to crack interviews at Google and beyond. * **Live Demo: The AI Job Agent:** Watch Nitish build a live, AI-powered agent that scans JDs and customizes your application in seconds. * **The Extension Reveal:** Get exclusive access to a custom-built tool designed to speed up the tedious parts of your daily search. ### The Vibe-Coding Sprint (7:30 PM - 9:30 PM) This is where the magic happens. We’ll break into groups of 2 or 3 to **"vibe-code"** something useful for the job search. Whether it’s a LinkedIn outreach bot, a portfolio scraper, or an automated tracker—we build it together. **Important:** You do **not** need to be an AI expert or a pro coder.

Whether you are using an IDE or working in the CLI, coding agents are helping developers write, refactor, test, and debug code. But today’s ecosystem is fragmented, we have so many coding agents Claude Code. Codex, Gemini CLI and many others. Every editor, every tool, and every agent often speaks its own language and has own harness. Not single coding harness will solve you all needs and you should be able to switch or have a choice to use different harnesss What if you could use **any coding agent** inside **the editor you love**? That is exactly what the **Agent Client Protocol ([ACP](https://agentclientprotocol.com/))** enables. ACP is an open protocol that standardizes communication created by Zed Industries, between code editors and coding agents. It works for both local and remote scenarios. Think of it as the LSP for coding agents. Just as the Language Server Protocol unified language tooling across editors, ACP aims to unify how editors interact with intelligent coding agents. **Sponsors** Big Thanks to our Sponsor **[Jetbrains](https://www.jetbrains.com/)** And thanks to **[Tessl](https://tessl.io/)** for hosting the venue. **What You Will Learn** In this session we explore how ACP is shaping the next generation of coding agent interoperability. • What the Agent Client Protocol is and why it matters • Current State of ACP and Future • How ACP standardizes communication between IDEs and coding agents • How to use ACP inside your favourite IDE • How to build an ACP client • Practical considerations for using ACP effectively • The future of coding agent interoperability If you are building or using coding agents, this session will give you both conceptual clarity and practical direction. 🎤 **Talks** **Talk 1: State of ACP and Future (45min)** Speakers: **[Sergey Ignatov](https://www.linkedin.com/in/sergey-ignatov/) Director of Engineering, JetBrains** \*\*[Ben Brandt ](https://www.linkedin.com/in/benjaminbrandt/)\*\*Zed Industries **Description :** This talk with In this session Sergey and Ben will introduce ACP and share Future plans of Agent Client Protocol from the company behind the ACP (Zed Industries) and Jetbrains ACP: \- Overview \- State of ACP \- Ecosystem around it \- Future \- Recent Implications: OpenClaw\, Custom Agents with Agent Frameworks like LangGraph\, LlamaIndex and Cursor Wrapper etc 🎙️ **Panel and Q&A 25 min** **Topic:** Agentic Coding, ACP anf Future Panelist: **[Sergey Ignatov](https://www.linkedin.com/in/sergey-ignatov/) Director of Engineering, JetBrains** \*\*[Ben Brandt ](https://www.linkedin.com/in/benjaminbrandt/)\*\*Zed Industries \*\*[Clément Drouin ](https://www.linkedin.com/in/cl%C3%A9ment-drouin-785643137/)\*\*Software Engineer at Mistral AI \*\*[Louis Knight-Webb ](https://www.linkedin.com/in/knightwebb/)\*\*Vibe Kanban We will close the evening with a focused panel discussion and audience Q&A on coding agents, interoperability, and the future of agent powered development.

**Google Analytics Alternatives** Is it finally time to make the switch away from Google Analytics? Two-and-a-half years ago Jason Packer asked this question at Columbus Web Analytics Wednesday. Since then: Google’s Universal Analytics has been sunset, we’ve changed our name to Columbus Data & Analytics Wednesday, and Jason has released two editions of his book “Google Analytics Alternatives”. Fresh off the release of the 2nd edition of his book, we thought it was time to re-open this conversation. While people love to complain about it, GA’s market share has remained relatively constant (at least in the United States). Why is that? You won’t find any complaints about GA4 in this talk, but rather an overview of what’s currently available in the market and how to frame your decision-making process. We’ll also be giving out some free copies of Jason’s book! So even if you’ve got a “GA4Lyfe” tattoo (no judgement), there’s free books to go with the free pizza and beer.
