Complementing the existing tech community, Norfolk Developers will be peeling back the high level and going straight to the heart of software development practices and processes. We aim to bring you local, national and international speakers and workshops.
You might want to try something new or wish to take your software development up to the next level. Norfolk Developers wants to jump depth-first into the detail and bring you practical value. We want to make it easy for you to access knowledge, progress and prosper in the highly specialised and valuable field of software engineering.

AI: Assisted Ignorance with Dom Davis
Dick's Bar, 19 Bedford Street, Norwich, GBAI: Assisted Ignorance
In this brave new world of Agentic AI and Vibe Coding, are we really seeing the removal of humans for software development, or the introduction of new tools that promise the world and deliver burnout?
In this talk we're going to peel back the hype and look at the reality of AI in our industry, and the very real dangers it poses.
Dom Davis
https://domdavis.com/Dom Davis is a veteran of The City and a casualty of The Financial Crisis. Not content with bringing the world to its knees he then went off to help break the internet before winding up in Norfolk where he messes about doing development and devops. Dom has been writing code since his childhood sometime in the last millennium – he hopes some day to become good at it.
Dom is an enthusiastic and impassioned speaker [read: he gabbles] who uses a blend of irreverent sarcasm and flippant humour to bring complex subjects to a broad audience. Whether or not they understand him is up for debate, but he likes to believe they do.
