The Human Side of Code & The Silent Failures of AI

We are thrilled to welcome you to our 10th edition of the AI Native Netherlands, hosted at the Yuma headquarters in Amsterdam.

This edition is capped at 120 attendees. Yuma's office has limited space, so once the 120 seats are filled, registration closes and additional signups move onto the waitlist.

A massive thank you to our host, Yuma, for their generosity in providing the venue, food, and drinks for this evening and for supporting the Dutch AI engineering community.

We'll cover:

What humans still bring to software building when AI is writing the code Tackling technical and social complexity inside distributed, fast-moving systems with legacy at the core
How to evaluate AI agents in production and catch silent regressions in under an hour What "AI Native infrastructure" looks like in the wild: prompt changes, harness updates, RAG documentation, model swaps

Speaker 1: Nico Krijnen (Yuma)
An explorer at heart, Nico loves to navigate the ever changing technology landscape and find practical solutions to complex problems. For a big chunk of his career, he disrupted the DAM space by building an innovative file management solution called Elvis, which is being used by media organizations all over the world. Besides leading and supporting teams and giving direction, he likes to roll up his sleeves and experience first-hand how (and whether) the latest technologies work in the real world. He is never shy of making unconventional choices to achieve radical results.

Talk: The human side of coding
Now that AI's are writing our code, what is the value that we humans still bring to building software systems?

Our tech stacks are exploding in complexity, systems are more and more distributed and fast-paced development leads to an ecosystem full of fragile legacy systems that provide the backbone of business capabilities. How do we
