AI Native Dev - Belgium Meetup
Spec-Driven Development BoF
AI is changing software development, and we’re really excited and intrigued by the future of it:
Maybe you’re building software with AI?
Or building tools that build software with AI?
Then this meetup is for you. No product pitches, just real experiences from the trenches. And it’s becoming a tradition now: if you’re attending Devoxx Belgium, this is the perfect community event!
Spec-Driven Development (SDD) is gaining traction as teams look for ways to align faster, reduce rework, and ship with confidence. But what does it really look like in practice?
This Birds of a Feather session is your chance to share stories, trade tips, and ask questions with others exploring or already working in a spec-first world. No slides. No formal talks. Just an open, informal discussion on the challenges, benefits, and practicalities of building from specs before writing code.
We’ll have a few AI Native Dev community hosts on hand, including Patrick Debois, Simon Maple, Massimo Re Ferrè and Dru Knox to help spark ideas, share insights, and keep the conversation flowing.
Whether you’re a curious newcomer or a seasoned SDD advocate, come join the conversation and leave with fresh insights, war stories, and maybe even a few new friends.
Format:
Informal introductions
Expert-led open discussion
Networking & idea sharing
