**Welcome to Flock. Community Day, a day where software enthusiasts like you come together for a day of creative synergy. Leave your usual working spot, spice up your workday & join us from 8:30 a.m., come for the talk (16:00) or celebrate the summer with us (17:00). We'd love to meet up with you so don't hesitate and sign up now!**

During the day, you’ll get coffee, a place to work, with others or very much alone (if you prefer) and as a bonus we’ll help you solve all your problems.
By problems we mean things like fixing your internet connection, cache invalidation strategies, naming things, splitting the atom and lacking coffee ;) Not feeling the work vibe? Other plans for the day? No worries! Join us later for Flock.'s Party-of-the-Year at the iconic Winkel van Sinkel at Oudegracht. We expect around 40 people from the industry and around, so don't miss this opportunity to network, mingle and have inordinate fun!

**ABOUT FLOCK**
We work with Kotlin, Java, Spring Boot, Typescript, React, Generative AI tooling and technical contracts between services. It’s our nature to think of solutions for stable growth, technology migration and process automation.

**THE TALK**
Bouke Nijhuis: “TDD & generative AI - a perfect pairing?”

In this talk we will delve into the question whether generative AI can generate working code when we only provide test cases. So we take the main principle from TDD: we write the tests up front. Then we use a generative AI to create the code. If you wrote the tests correctly and they all pass, you should have a working prototype. Even better, if the tests pass and you trust the tests, the code is production ready!

With some live coding, we will explore this idea together. Furthermore we will take a look at the implications of this paradigm shift. After attending you should be able to apply this technique to your own project.

**ABOUT THE SPEAKER**
Bouke Nijhuis is the Technical Director (CTO) at Cinq ICT with extensive previous experience as Java Developer, Scrum Master & Software Architect at companies like ValueCare, Rabobank and Caci. But hey, he's also Chairman of the Board of the Dutch Frisbee Organisation - who can beat *that*?
