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.

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.

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.
