About us
Python Ireland is a group for anyone interested in learning more about the Python programming language. We aim to hold a meetup every month on a variety of topics from Computer Science, finance, research, big data and more, with a focus on Python-related technologies.
It is suitable for all levels and new people are always welcome.
We also have an annual conference in November called PyCon Ireland. If you are interested in hearing more about this conference, or our group please check out our website at http://python.ie/.

Python Ireland March 2026 Meetup
MongoDB, Building 2 Number One Ballsbridge, Shelbourne Rd, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4, D04 Y3X9, Dublin, IETalk: Skill Estimation, Agents and the Condorcet Jury theorem.
The Condorcet Jury Theorem promises that groups are smarter than individuals — add more voices, get closer to the truth. But the theorem has a poison pill: it only works when people think independently. In this talk we'll use PyMC to build a Bayesian model that stress-tests collective decision-making, simulating how shared training, correlated thinking, and organisational "alignment" can quietly destroy the engine of collective intelligence. The results raise uncomfortable questions about what happens when everyone's reasoning runs through the same foundation model. If you're interested in Bayesian modelling, probabilistic programming, or just want a principled way to think about the epistemic cost of your AI toolchain, this one's for you.

Talk: Learning MongoDB CRUD the Agentic Way: A Python Learning Coach in Your IDE.Instead of another slide deck on CRUD, we’ll turn the MongoDB CRUD Operations Skill Badge into a live, IDE-based learning experience. You’ll see how to use agentskills.io to give a copilot agent concrete MongoDB teaching skills so it can coach you through queries, inserts, updates, and deletes right where you write your code.

In between I worked as a database reliability engineer at Slack for a little over 2 years and then for Cognite until he re-joined MongoDB. With over 15 years experience in software development and distributed systems, I am naturally curious and hold a Telecommunications Engineering MSc from Vigo University (Spain) and a Free and Open Source Software MSc from Rey Juan Carlos University (Spain).]
