Meetup: Dubliners: Joys of Reading
Sat, Mar 21, 2026 · 5:00 PM
📚Reading 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.💬 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! ⚠️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. 🔍 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. 💡 I look forward to seeing you all! 😊

Drop in to our regular Open Social for a great alternative Saturday evening. It's a great informal way to see the space and meet members and visitors. If you’ve never been in before, we’ll give you the grand tour of the space. Talk to members and visitors about projects or things that you’d like to do. If you like what you see, ask about joining as a full member. Membership brings many benefits. Weather and volunteer permitting, we might have our wood fired pizza oven going outside! https://youtu.be/TTQ0YylkEzc Expect caint, ceol agus craic as usual. The space stays open until the last member is left……usually the small hours of Sunday morning. You can drop in for 10 minutes, or stay the whole night. We have lots of free parking available. Bring beer, food, gadgets!

Socrates famously declared the unexamined life is not worth living. What did he mean? How could this ancient piece of wisdom be useful to us in the here and now? Is it possible, in a world of therapy-speak and pseudo-wisdom, to over-examine ourselves and those around us? Join us at Walter’s and add your voice to this important discussion. Buy a drink at the bar, engage with others and share your views.

📖 The Story of a New Name The story follows Lila and Elena as they step into adulthood, carrying with them the weight of their neighbourhood and their shared past. Lila is bound to marriage and work, her brilliance pressed into narrow spaces, while Elena moves outward through study, uneasy with both ambition and belonging. Their friendship remains a force of love and tension, shaping how each understands herself and the other. Around them, Naples tightens and shifts, revealing how difficult it is to change one’s life without losing something essential. 📚 About the series Elena Ferrante's Neapolitan Novels, also known as the Neapolitan Quartet, is a single 1,700 page novel in four volumes about the lives of and relationship between two girls becoming women in Naples: Lina and Elena. The four volumes (My Brilliant Friend, The Story of a New Name, Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay, and The Story of the Lost Child) were published by Europa Editions in English between 2012 and 2015. The New York Times has named My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante the best book of the 21st century, cementing the series' status as a modern literary masterpiece that chronicles a complex female friendship against the backdrop of post-war Naples. As part of the group, we will read 4 books with adequate spacing between each one. This is the second meetup for the series. I'm looking forward to the discussions 😊 ⚠️Something Happened? If something unpleasant happened to you, it may happen to others. It may be small but don't hesitate to reach out to me. 🔍 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. I hope to see you all soon! 😊

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.
