Your tests passed. Then a third-party script your page loads got compromised. Now your users are the breach. Modern browser pages execute code from sources you don't build, don't host, and sometimes don't even know about. While we spent years shifting security left, attackers shifted right, into the package ecosystem, the CDN, the runtime. This talk shows how client-side supply chain attacks actually work and what you can do about them using tools already built into the browser: CSP reporting, Subresource Integrity, and runtime telemetry. You'll leave knowing what your page is really running, and what to do about it on Monday morning. **Event-Driven Specs for AI Assisted Development** (Per Ökvist, Forefront) *From discovery to delivery with event‑driven specs as visual contracts* This session shows how event‑driven specifications turn discovery artifacts into executable, testable contracts. By modelling behaviour as events and slices, teams create a shared visual language that flows seamlessly from whiteboard sessions to production code. The same events discovered during modelling become specifications that drive AI‑assisted code generation. The result is a faster, more aligned workflow: clear intent, fewer translation gaps, and a path where what you model is what you build. **About the speakers:** [Tore Nestenius](https://www.linkedin.com/in/torenestenius) Tore is a Microsoft \.NET MVP\, an Azure\-certified developer\, and an expert in areas like CQRS and event\-sourcing\, as well as web security and IdentityServer\.

Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at our Copenhagen Shut Up & Write! sessions. Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, résumé, melody, poem, or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done. SCHEDULE: - 15 minutes of hellos and getting settled; maybe some quick intros. - Then, the timer starts! : writing for 1 hour. - After the hour is up... chat / take off / keep writing, if you're on a roll. OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens once the hour of writing is complete. Writing can be very solitary... connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing. It's best to be on time, but BEING LATE IS ALSO OKAY: just show up and get settled, then check in with us after the session. (We’ll be the ones with the small Shut Up & Write! sign.) If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer. What Should I Bring? Whatever you need to be able to write! Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block the cafe’s overhead music or the occasional conversation by other patrons.
