No roadmap. No procurement cycle. No feature request backlog. Just solve the problem. Thanks to vibe-coding, building software is becoming accessible to the people who actually experience the friction. Instead of waiting months for a feature or adapting your workflow to a generic tool, you create something that fits your problem, your process, and your team. Tools like Lovable make that possible. And this shift is bigger than it may seem. This isn’t really about a waffle charts generator or poster tiling tools. It’s about what happens when building software on demand becomes normal. When the people closest to the problem can create the solution, exactly when they need it. **Talk 2:** Digital inclusion in public transport Sjoera Roggeman Public transport is a fundamental service that should be available to everyone. But as services become increasingly digital, there is a real risk of excluding people who are less digitally confident, or have specific needs for using digital products. That’s why De Lijn implemented an “easy mode” within the existing app, a simplified interface that reduces complexity and makes key tasks more straightforward and intuitive. In this talk, Sjoera will walk you through the design process from start to end, and share her learnings and challenges as a UX designer on this project. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- \#\#\# SCHEDULE 18:00 - Doors open.

De 37ᵉ monthly meetup van [Nimma.codes](https://www.nimma.codes/). Elke laatste dinsdag van de maand. Een cross-language user group voor software developers in de regio Arnhem-Nijmegen. **Locatie** 10KB. De Kolk 7, 6541 AV · Nijmegen Bekijk de routebeschrijving op: [https://share.cleanshot.com/FtP0Dkxw](https://share.cleanshot.com/FtP0Dkxw) Let op: het eten is er om 17:30. We starten om 18:00 met de opening. *We houden er niet van om eten te verspillen. Ben je verhinderd? Geen probleem, maar meld je uiterlijk een dag voor de meetup af.* **Programma** * 17:30 - 18:00 Inloop + food/drinks * 18:00 - 18:45 **Versleuteld data pseudonimiseren? - Job Doesburg** * 18:45 - 19:00 Pauze * 19:00 - 19:45 **Je AI-agent heeft root, en nu? - Roland Boon** * 20:00 - 21:00 Netwerken en gezelligheid **Versleuteld data pseudonimiseren? - Job Doesburg** Om privacy-vriendelijk gegevens uit te wisselen tussen systemen of organisaties, kan het waardevol of zelfs noodzakelijk zijn om te pseudonimiseren. PEP (polymorfe encryptie en pseudonimisatie) is een cryptografische methode om dit te doen, waarbij geen enkele partij in staat is om gegevens terug te linken. Hiermee kunnen verrassend sterke privacyeigenschappen worden bereikt en data zelfs effectief anoniem worden gemaakt. Naast de fundamentele technologie, laten we ook zien hoe dit toegankelijk is geïmplementeerd in de open-source libpep library (Rust, met bindings voor WASM/TS/JS en Python). Fun fact: deze technologie zit stiekem al ingebouwd in je rijbewijs. **Over Job Doesburg** Job Doesburg is promovendus aan de Radboud Universiteit. Hij doet onderzoek naar privacy en security en is werkzaam voor de afdeling software science en het Nationaal Onderwijslab AI, waar hij zich bezig houdt met “Duurzame Data”. Naast onderzoeker ziet Job zichzelf ook als software developer, zowel professioneel als hobbymatig. Hij vindt het belangrijk dat de inzichten uit de wetenschap ook écht in de praktijk gebruikt kunnen worden. **Je AI-agent heeft root, en nu? - Roland Boon** AI-coding-assistants zoals Cursor en Claude draaien met jouw rechten. Ze lezen en schrijven bestanden, voeren terminal commando's uit en doen netwerkverzoeken. Dat terwijl ze input verwerken waar jij geen controle over hebt: documentatie, tickets, dependencies, websites. Prompt injection is het SQL injection van het AI-tijdperk, alleen breder en subtieler. In deze talk gaan we (proberen) met live demo's te laten zien hoe onzichtbare instructies in ogenschijnlijk veilige tekst je AI-agent kunnen overnemen, en wat die agent vervolgens kan doen. Daarna bespreken we praktische defensiestrategieen en hebben we het graag over attack vectors en maatregelen die wij nog niet hebben bedacht. **Over** **Roland Boon** Roland Boon is eigenaar en software engineer bij 10KB. Met 20+ jaar ervaring in web development bouwt hij mission-critical bedrijfssoftware met een focus op security en privacy by design. Bij 10KB wordt intensief met AI-assisted development gewerkt, en met Manjikaze ([https://github.com/10KB/manjikaze](https://github.com/10KB/manjikaze "https://github.com/10KB/manjikaze")) werken ze aan het hardenen van hun eigen ontwikkelomgeving. Deze talk is ontstaan uit interne discussies binnen het team over hoe ver je een AI-agent kunt en mag vertrouwen.

**Details** The Workplace Ninja User Group Netherlands is proud to announce that on Wednesday the 1st of April 2026 we will organize our 2nd in-person event in the year 2026. **Program:** **15:30 - 16:00: Welcome at location** **16:00 - 17:00: Session 1: Jorik Polhuis “Copilot als reality check: wanneer AI je project niet spaart”** **17:05 - 18:05: Session 2: Arno van Dijk, "How to Protect Your Tokens with Intune & Conditional Access"** **18:05 - 19:00: Food, drinks and networking, sponsored by location host** **19:00 - 20:00: Session 3:** **20:00 - 21:00: Drinks and networking** Location: \ **Session 1: Jorik Polhuis “Copilot als reality check: wanneer AI je project niet spaart”** Wat gebeurt er als je Copilot vraagt om eerlijk te zijn over je project? In deze sessie bouwen we samen een agent die niet samenvat, maar **kritisch meedenkt**: wat klopt hier niet, wat missen we, en waar lopen we risico zonder het te benoemen? Aan de hand van een herkenbare projectcase laten we zien: * hoe je van een idee naar een agent komt * waarom agent‑denken iets anders is dan prompten * en waar het misgaat zonder goede afspraken en data **Session 2:** How to Protect Your Tokens with Intune & Conditional Access - Arno van Dijk When accessing resources with Single Sign On, the Microsoft Services makes use of a Primary Refresh Token (PRT). This token is created when a device is registered so it can make use of Single Sign On. Now a days token theft is becoming a huge problem. Luckily Microsoft has released several features to reduces the possibility for Token theft. Read on to learn more about the profile possibilities in Intune and how to enforce your token protection with Conditional Access **Session 3:** How Not to Manage Your Microsoft 365 Tenant: And What to Do Instead - Dave Stork Managing a Microsoft 365 tenant can be deceptively simple (it is a commodity, right! Right?), but small misconfigurations can lead to security gaps and vulnerabilities. In this session, Microsoft MVP Dave Stork highlights common mistakes he encounters in real-world M365 environments and explains why they introduce unnecessary risk. More importantly, he demonstrates practical, secure alternatives based on Microsoft's latest guidance, CIS benchmarks, and field experience. Attendees will learn how to strengthen administrative identity, access, and posture with approaches such as least‑privilege administration, secure account design, Conditional Access, privileged access management, and automation-first operations. Expect pragmatic insights, recognizable examples, and actionable recommendations to immediately improve your tenant’s management.

🌸 **Free online gathering** **Next circle: April 5** After this, we will continue meeting on the **first Sunday of each month**. A space to begin the month by returning to yourself. This women’s circle is an invitation to give yourself one hour to pause, slow down, and reconnect with your body, your inner voice, and other women. A simple and caring commitment: beginning the month with meditation and journaling in community. You can think of it as a small personal ritual, creating the habit of listening to yourself, writing, and setting intentions for the month ahead. We meet online on Sunday afternoons to gently transition into a new week and a new month, creating a moment of presence, reflection, and intention. During this 1-hour session we will explore: ✨ a guided meditation to arrive in the body ✨ a journaling practice to connect with what is alive in you ✨ a space for sharing, where you are welcome to speak or simply listen No previous experience is needed. You are welcome just as you are. Please have a notebook and a pen nearby, and join from a quiet space where you won’t be interrupted during the session. You are welcome to join once, or come back each month. The choice is yours. The first circles are offered for free in order to create community and open this space to more women. Participants who register for the event will receive the **Google Meet link** before the circle begins. It will be lovely to welcome you into this space 🌿

Hike approx 4.0 miles at approx. 18 minute mile pace. Meet in front of the Nature Center.

Hike approx 4.0 miles at approx. 18 minute mile pace. Meet in front of the Nature Center.

Hi ladies. We will meet in front of the Nature Center and head to the two Observation decks. We will then hike Hickory Ridge, Ripple Rock, Overlook and Sugarbush trails to get approximately four miles total distance. We will walk approximately a 18 minute mile pace. Please wear appropriate hiking shoes.

Meet at Wolfe Park parking lot by tennis courts. We willl walk along Alum Creek trail, through Jeffrey Mansion Park then along Bexley neighborhood and back. Optional lunch at Trolley District.

This trail is a meandering path through the woods. There will be some overlooks and a couple stops at the creek as well as time along a waterway. It will not be a fast paced hike. There is some elevation change and uneven terrain. I will be using poles just to be safe! Will aim to get in about three miles. Optional lunch after if there is an interest.
