Talk 1 Bert Jan Schrijver
Generic or Specific? Making sensible software design decisions
In software design and software architecture, we often face the question: should we build this generic or specific?
Usually, this is not an easy question to answer. The answer depends on a lot of different factors, including future factors you may not be aware of – yet.
In this talk, I’ll share my experiences and thought process as a developer and software architect with choosing between generic and specific solutions. I’ll talk about generic vs specific design & architecture, both on a project level and organization level. We’ll look at sharing code/components between teams, inner source culture, monorepo’s, microservices, lifecycle management of generic components and strategic design as a tool to help decide. After this talk, you’ll have practical insights that can help you to choose between generic and specific solutions yourself.

Talk 2 Roy van Rijn
The AI revolution: What software developers can expect”
In 2017, Google released a groundbreaking research paper titled “Attention is All You Need.” In this paper, they introduced the “transformer model.” Since then, this model architecture has produced astounding results, ranging from text-generating “Large Language Models” (LLMs), like GPT-3, to image-generating models like DALL-E 2. The pace of advancement seems to be ever-increasing, with the creation of AI chatbots like ChatGPT/Bing Chat that fascinate the world by generating images, even movies, music, and much more.
Now an A.I. war between OpenAI, Microsoft and Google is starting to unfold. What will this mean for humanity and more specifically for us software developers?
