Cursor Meetup Amsterdam (5th Edition)
Welcome to the 5th edition of Cursor Meetup Amsterdam, the community gathering for developers building with AI-powered coding tools.
This edition, five speakers with hands-on Cursor experience share concrete workflows, real demos, and lessons from the field:
17:30 - Philipp Mieden — The Last Year in Programming. A survey of model and harness evolution, prompt and context engineering, planning and feedback loops, and where security and verification (evals) fit in.
17:45 - Roy Klein — Engineering Discipline Now, More Than Ever. How to stay the owner of AI-written code with CI, TDD, and Trunk-Based Development. Backbone is 150+ e2e tests in under 2 minutes, validated after every prompt.
18:00 - Marwan el Morabet — The 180-Minute Refactor. Orchestrating a "team" of Cursor agent personas (Domain Expert, Lead Architect, Customer Advocate) to rebuild a production platform in three hours. Concrete .cursorrules and Composer strategies.
18:15 - Amit Prusty — agent-context: Stop Re-Teaching Your Repo to Every Coding Agent. A portable, checked-in repo evidence layer that Cursor, Claude, Codex, Gemini, and OpenCode all read before editing. Live demo plus measured comparisons (files, tokens, dead ends).
18:30 - Umberto Canessa Cerchi — Solving the LLM "Memory Wall". A journey through failed memory-extension experiments (LoRA, MoE) to a final approach (NLS) that lets the model remember 20k+ tokens of history for basically free.
18:45 - Gal Naor - Don't Trust The Code You Didn't Plan - Introducing Temper, an SDLC plugin for the AI era, or - how planning should be the heaviest gate in your workflow, and the rest will catch up.
