The cost of doing a lot of demos is that in all previews you just look intensely staring at the screen 😄

From spaghetti code to quality software 🍝

It’s one of the challenges many of us engineers face. How do we move from messy, silly code to systems that actually work in production?

At Voxxed Days Amsterdam, these speakers share lessons on building and maintaining quality software:

🎤 Ines Panker - Why smart developers write silly code
🎤 Saman Nourkhalaj - Building a legacy: The art of crafting maintainable systems
🎤 @Susivic - RAG in the wild: real-world lessons from modernizing legacy systems
🎤 Mark Dirksma & Marthijs Berfelo - Modernising the Energy Transition: How to build a Cloud-Native, Non-Blocking Registry

Let’s be honest, around Valentine’s Day, most gifts only get more expensive 😉

Good news: your Voxxed Days Amsterdam ticket doesn’t… at least not right now

💙 Limited offer: Valentines deal!
https://t.co/iS1gke7Rz2

A now-or-never Valentine’s deal ending soon on Monday, 23:59.

[Voxxed Days Amsterdam @VoxxedAmsterdam]

We all love Java (still in a Valentine’s mood 🤣)

But if there’s one thing developers love even more… it’s when things go completely wrong 😈

A memory leak that only shows up on Friday afternoon. Streams that behave almost correctly. AI agents that… well… become a little too creative. A bit of gloating (leedvermaak) is part of the job, right?

At Voxxed Days Amsterdam we’re embracing the fun side of failure, not just to laugh at it, but to learn how it makes us better developers. Expect stories, lessons, and plenty of “we’ve all been there” moments from amazing speakers, including:
- @iam_carpenter, “10 Things I Hate About Java”
- @jborgers, “Avoiding pitfalls with Java streams, concurrency, HTTP requests and more”
- @VictorRentea , “How to trace a Java Memory Leak”
- @prpatel, “How to Write Bad Java Code”
- Adam Michalik, “From greenfield to minefield: How to avoid traps of creeping complexity”
- @aahoogendoorn, “How to survive and thrive as a dev (team) in the exponential age of AI”

The real entertainment starts when it breaks… and the real growth happens when we learn from it.
