About us
We're a curious tribe of tech enthusiasts, dreamers, and builders exploring the shift from Cloud Native to AI Native. As the tech landscape rapidly evolves, we're here not just to keep up, but to shape what's coming next.
This is a very technical meetup, we love real-world edge-cases, hard trade-offs, and lessons from production.
What you can expect:
We think meetups should be about real connection: lively conversations, bold ideas, laughter, and the chance to truly meet others on this journey. Whether you're an AI expert, a Cloud Native pioneer, or an intrigued generalist, this is your community.
Expect:
- A diverse mix of topics, perfect for forward-thinking generalists and specialists alike.
- A relaxed, inclusive vibe that makes learning and networking genuinely enjoyable.
Come join us as we ride the AI Native wave, together.

The AI Coding Adoption Ladder: From First Licences to the Dark Factory
Studytube, Danzigerkade 17, Amsterdam, NH, NLWe are thrilled to welcome you to our 11th edition of AI Native Netherlands, hosted at the Studytube headquarters in Amsterdam.
A massive thank you to our host, Studytube, for their generosity in providing the venue and drinks for this evening and for supporting the Dutch AI engineering community.
We'll cover:
- The AI Coding Adoption Ladder — how teams move from first licences to structured adoption, agentic workflows, and software factory patterns
- The order things usually break as AI scales: coordination, review, testing, context, security boundaries, ownership, CI/CD, and product flow
- Why individual developer speed doesn't automatically become faster team delivery — the central AI Native question of the night
- The platform and infrastructure foundations that let AI-generated code scale safely, instead of just raising PR volume
- An open "Ask the Speakers" Q&A to put your own adoption questions directly to the room
Speaker 1: Pini Reznik (re:cinq)
Pini Reznik is a seasoned technology leader with extensive experience in the software industry. He is the CEO and Co-Founder of re:cinq, experts in Cloud Native and AI Native engineering. Former software engineer, Co-Founder of two successful consulting businesses and an O’Reilly author.Talk: The AI Adoption Ladder: From First Licences to the Dark Factory
AI coding tools make individual developers faster, but many teams discover that delivery does not improve at the same rate. PR volume rises, review queues grow, tests become less convincing, context gets messy, and eventually product and platform bottlenecks become visible. AI did not remove the constraint; it moved it.This talk introduces the AI Coding Adoption Ladder: a practical model for how engineering teams move from first licences to structured adoption, agentic workflows, and eventually software factory patterns. We will look at the order things usually break - coordination, review, testing, context, security boundaries, ownership, CI/CD, and product flow - and what software and DevOps engineers need to fix before AI-generated code can safely scale.
Speaker 2: To Be Announced. We are currently finalizing our second speaker, an expert who will bring a unique perspective to the AI Native landscape. Stay tuned for the announcement!
