Please register at [Luma Page](https://luma.com/emp7l1m3)** ​Projector Global Community (by [Projector Institute](https://prjctr.com/en/about)) together with [RichardsDee](https://richardsdee.com/) invite you to our Practical Vibe Coding Club session. Who This Is For: This session is for product makers and builders who want a faster, more native way to go from idea to prototype in real time, and turn ideas into working experiences. No coding experience is required. This is about learning how to build, collaborate, and reiterate faster. What to expect: We’ll introduce the fundamentals of vibe coding, explore the tools that enable it, and set up a live working environment together. Participants will create a boilerplate project in Visual Studio Code using Vite + React, and learn how to move from concept to functional prototype. **Please come prepared with**: • A laptop • Visual Studio Code installed (**[https://code.visualstudio.com](https://code.visualstudio.com/)**) • A GitHub account (**[https://github.com/signup](https://github.com/signup)**) • Signed into both with your personal credentials About Speaker: **[Harshad Wadhwani](https://www.linkedin.com/in/harshad-wadhwani/overlay/about-this-profile/)** Senior UX Designer at Microsoft. Over the past year, Harshad has been deeply exploring vibe coding, moving beyond traditional design tools and into real time, code based collaboration with stakeholders. Recently, this has included experimenting with workflows that don’t rely on Figma at all, focusing instead on shared prototyping environments and live co-creation in code. Outcome: You’ll leave with a working project setup, a clear understanding of vibe coding workflows, and a new mental model for building and prototyping collaboratively with teams. Session Flow (Approximate) • 10 mins — Meet & greet • 15 mins — Harshad’s intro & framing • 60 mins — Setup & troubleshooting • 15 mins — Break • 60 mins — Explore, build, and experiment • 30 mins — Closing discussion & reflection

🚀 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. 🏆 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 🕚 11:00 AM Doors open ⚙️ 11:30 AM Intro to Daytona and sandbox primitives 🚀 12:00 PM Hacking begins 🍕 1:00 PM Lunch 🛠️ 1:30 PM Back to building 🖥️ 4:45 PM Demos and judging 🏆 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.

This month, we're venturing over to GONG HQ to her two talks from staffers SDE Vanja Tesin, and Senior Engineering Manager Anthony Brady. DETAILS & OFFICIAL BOOKING >>>>> https://ti.to/dublin-java-user-group/264-gong-hq Check your schedule first (it's not cool to not show!) ## **Talk 1:** GONG & Agentic AI Tools Gong built an agentic AI solution called Claude Code to help developers work more effectively across its complex microservice architecture of over 100+ repositories. Using a multi-agent system with specialised rules, skills, and subagents, it automates development tasks and reduces time spent on research and context switching. The result is faster development and better pattern compliance, reducing complex tasks from days to hours. Join Vanja Tesin to discover how. ## **Talk 1:** **Resilience in Microservices** In the distributed landscape of modern backend architecture, the question isn’t if a service will fail, but when. Without robust fault tolerance, a single latent dependency can trigger a cascading failure across an entire ecosystem. Anthony's talk will focus on how Gong overcame some of those challenges and how they are implementing resilience utilising patterns such as Circuit Breakers, Rate Limiters and others to maintain stability and provide graceful degradation even when downstream services are under duress.

Over a Coffee let’s meet and get Good Food, New Friends members together to launch ideas for the group What’s app me if you are attending on 087 2422912 Jeff

**Speaker:** Mick Cooney Survival analysis is a statistical method for analyzing the expected duration of time until an event occurs. In this one-hour talk, we will walk through the application of survival analysis to life insurance policy lapses, starting from foundational concepts and moving toward Bayesian modeling approaches using Stan. We will begin by setting the scene with a practical example: the impact of the 2008-2011 credit crisis on Irish life insurance. This provides a backdrop to introduce core survival analysis concepts, including censoring, truncation, survival functions, and hazard functions. Next, we will review classic approaches to modeling survival data. We will cover the non-parametric Kaplan-Meier estimator, discuss standard parametric models, and examine semi-parametric methods like the Cox Proportional Hazards model. The second half of the talk will focus on Bayesian survival analysis. Using R and Stan, we will demonstrate how to construct Bayesian models for time-to-event data. We will step through the process of assessing model fit and discuss strategies for improving model performance, focusing on handling right-censored data and quantifying uncertainty. This session provides an overview for practitioners interested in applying both traditional and Bayesian survival analysis techniques to their own data problems.

**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 **Abstract** Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively. This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way. **YouTube Link** TBA
