Software development is being reborn. In this keynote, I share my journey from manual coding to AI augmented programming, where I collaborate with coding agents instead of writing every line myself.
Through my vibe coding experiments, including rebuilding the Devoxx Companian app with AI tools, I’ll show both the power and the pitfalls of this new era: from instant prototypes to hallucinated code and the shifting role of developers as AI project leads.
Welcome to the Developer Renaissance, where creativity meets automation and experience still matters.

Devoxx
As the founder of Devoxx and organizer of Devoxx Belgium, I am passionate about conducting R&D that leads to new features in Devoxx-related applications like the CFP web app, mobile app etc. In recent years, I have been exploring and experimenting with cutting-edge technologies such as CNNs, LLMs and other AI tools. Most recently I've been working on the DevoxxGenie IntelliJ plugin which allows you to talk to LLM's both locally and remotely.
