"Coding is solved"

⏰ There is still time to join our upcoming Strategic Domain-Driven Design workshop. 👉 Join now: buff.ly/fTq4i0K

I gave a talk at EMF titled "Men in Tech #YesAllMen", in which I told my experience of being a woman in tech. I was afraid to publish it in case it affected my current or future employment. With all the current news I would like to add my 2¢. So here is the recording: youtu.be/WXL6K1lhvt0?...

The irony of people complaining about AI whilst using AI picture slop to highlight their point is not lost on me.

Slides of @kenny.weave-it.org and my talk "Domain boundaries are not enough" at @kandddinsky.bsky.social are online: www.gienverschatse.com/talks/2026/1... Thank you everyone for coming!

We have a workshop with Alessandro Colla and Alberto Acerbis that starts on December 7, 2026. The next two participants get a copy of their new ebook. Join now: buff.ly/EEwjJWm

Article is in Dutch, but "I was wrong because it turns out I understand shit about radiology" is never not going to be funny. trends.knack.be/ai-en-tech/l...

Big tech is subtly changing the language of their applications to tap into different mental models. I am no longer searching my emails, but I am "asking Gmail" to help me find something. As if it can respond, as if I am having a conversation with it. I am not, I am searching my emails.

"As a user, I want inaccurate or misleading summaries generated by your AI tool" 🫠

Is it me, or is the quality of software going down? In the past few months I have started to notice that software that use to work, is now having issues. No major issues, but small hiccups that make it really annoying to work with. e.g. notifications that reappear, read to unread, stuff like that.

Complex business processes, lots of stakeholders, tricky business rules, in a domain you've never worked in? EventStorming is our #1 tool for collaboratively exploring complexity before you start to code: buff.ly/zTonPtw ⏳ Early bird ending on July 31!

Chelsea Troy is running a workshop for engineers who want to understand AI coding assistants. We’ll dig into how these tools actually work, how to evaluate their output, and how to integrate them safely into complex projects. If you’re skeptical but curious, this one’s for you: buff.ly/J6i1nzP

We don't run public workshops often—most of our training is in-house with companies. If you've been wanting to start with collaborative modelling but unsure how, this is your chance to learn by doing it. Details: buff.ly/UHbDWhk

Strategic Domain Driven Design is a domain-focused, collaborative learning process. Come and collaborate with us to find out more about Strategic DDD: buff.ly/u2ViIdE. Andrea will teach in her office hours from New Zealand! Take advantage of our Early Bird!

«It’s not just about design, it’s about people, systems, and the way we work together.» This is what Claudia Cuadros recently wrote about the Collaborative Software Design book, written by Evelyn van Kelle, Kenny (Baas) Schwegler, Gien Verschatse. 📖 Have you already read it?

Together with my co-authors @evelynvankelle.bsky.social and @gienverschatse.com, we get questions about our book, which we turn into small advice columns written by our book's alter ego, Dear CoMo.

⏰ There is still time until the end of this week! Here are some key tips to consider when crafting your Call for Papers (CFP) for DDD Europe: buff.ly/4gQjqmy

Next year, we’re going to Amsterdam!! 🇳🇱 The Collaborative Software Design Workshop with @kenny.weave-it.org and @gienverschatse.com will take place on June 16 - 17 in Amsterdam and registrations are now open! 🎆 www.avanscoperta.it/en/training/...

Trans vrouwen zijn geen bedreiging. De echte dreiging is het feit dat mensen nog steeds zeggen dat geslacht volgens biologie binair is (spoiler biologie werkt niet met definities) om anderen te mogen uitsluiten in naam van de wetenschap ga u een eind schamen dames… (6/6)

Design heuristics help you design a loosely coupled architecture. Find out how to use heuristics as a guiding tool for designing your bounded contexts in this beginners-friendly training 👉 buff.ly/EHe7jyV Take advantage of our Early Bird!

We will go more in-depth on how to facilitate collaborative software design, ensuring you can structure sessions that capture the necessary expertise regardless of rank or communication style. buff.ly/K5xhJTK

It has been quite an odyssey, but now it is finally here: 📣 📚 Domain-Driven Transformation: Modernize Legacy Systems and Mitigate Risk 📚 📣 In this book, Carola Lilienthal and I present our approach to transform architecturally eroded systems. domain-driven-transformation.com

Only 20 days left until @newcrafts.bsky.social. I will be talking about all things decision. :-D At the end of my talk you will understand a decision better, have some extra vocabulary to use and you know how I applied decision-making to software design. I hope to see you there! ncrafts.io

Have you had enough of all the endless chit-chat about AI? Yeah. I hear you. So I ain’t sayin’ nuffink other than, I’m running a two-day workshop in Amsterdam on November 17th and 18th, getting the most out of LLM-augmented coding tools and having FUN with it. Let’s not talk about it. Let’s DO It.

⏰ Only 2 weeks left to submit a proposal for a workshop at DDD Europe 2026. ❗ Deadline for the workshops is: October 31, 2025. 👉 Send in your ideas for workshops now: buff.ly/RXoL9H8

Me and @javujavichi.bsky.social “together” on stage. My favourite moment of #gsas25 captured here. First time I got quoted in a talk, achievement unlocked. ❤️

⛔ LAST DAY! Regular Tier pricing vanishes TOMORROW (October 15th). Stop thinking, start clicking. Your future self will thank you. 🚀 buff.ly/Wbivw05
