Domain-Driven Design Europe 2026 - Organised by Aardling (https://aardling.eu/) https://dddeurope.com https://newsletter.dddeurope.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/domain-driven-design-europe https://bsky.app/profile/dddeu.bsky.social https://m.aardling.social/@dddeu What is AI? What is AI for, and what are its goals? Can we use AI for programming? The dominant discourse in 2026 makes it easy to believe in 2026 that AI is unequivocally good, and will make our lives much easier. In this talk Felienne, professor of Computer Science education will take you through an alternate history of AI, programming and its epistemological development. She will take you through over a century of alternative tech voices, and discuss what we can learn from that for the current state of programming and its future. About Felienne Hermans: Professor of Computer Science Education Felienne Hermans is a professor of Computer Science Education at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. She also works as a high-school CS teacher one day a week at Open Schoolgemeenschap Bijlmer. Felienne is the creator of the Hedy programming language, a gradual and multi-lingual programming language designed for teaching and author of the book "The Programmer's Brain" a book that helps programmers understand how their brain works and how to use it more effectively.

If you are a programmer in 2025 you have likely been pressured into adopting generative artificial intelligence tools into your workflow. Maybe you have already been ordered to. You have probably wondered if next year will be the year that you will be replaced with an AI. Or maybe in the next five years. Weren’t we supposed to be replaced already?
