Hello, Kotlin enthusiasts! Our next NLKUG meetup is happening on March 19th at the adesso Office, located at Wonderwoods, Jaarbeursboulevard 294, 3521BC Utrecht! Join us for an evening filled with 2 great talks, networking, and a lively panel discussion on some of the hottest topics in the Kotlin community. This event is RSVP-only, and seats are limited to 60 attendees, so be sure to secure your spot early. You can also let us know if you have any dietary preferences when you RSVP. This meetup is a collaboration between adesso, bol and Flock. bringing together some of the best minds in the industry. A big thank you to our fantastic partners for making this event possible! **📍 Location:** adesso Office, Wonderwoods, Jaarbeursboulevard 294, 3521BC Utrecht **🕒 Timeline:** 17:00 – Doors open 17:30 – Dinner 🍕 18:25 – Welcome 🎙️ 18:30 - Akif: Pair Programming with AI 💻 19:15 - Break 19:30 - Pim: Type Safe Tax Calculations 💻 20:15 - Networking and Drinks 🍻 \*\*\*\* **Talk 1: Pair Programming with AI: Building Software in the Age of Coding Agents** *Mehmet Akif Tütüncü - Engineer @ bol* AI coding agents are rapidly changing how we write software, but what does that look like in a real Kotlin project? In this session, I'll share my experience building an open-source Kotlin DSL library primarily by pair programming with AI. After defining the core design by hand, I relied heavily on coding agents to expand features, refactor code, generate tests, draft documentation, automate publishing, and explore alternative designs. The project tapik, a type-safe DSL for defining HTTP APIs in Kotlin, became more than a library. It became an experiment in AI-augmented engineering. * What changes when AI becomes your primary collaborator? * Where does it accelerate you? * Where does it confidently fail? * What skills become more important? Through concrete examples in Kotlin, I'll show how AI shifts the engineer's role from "code writer" to architect, reviewer, and decision-maker, and what that means for our profession moving forward. \*\*\*\* **Talk 2: Type-safe tax calculations; Using Context Parameters** *Pim van Gurp - Software Engineer @ Flock.* In this talk we’ll explore how two powerful Kotlin features (context parameters and Arrow's Raise DSL) combined to push time and error rules into the type system. Context parameters allow us to change contextual input while keeping the call side consistent. This allows us to calculate income tax with X % in 2025 and Y % in 2026. Furthermore, Arrow's Raise DSL gives us typed, structured error handling without exceptions, making every failure path explicit. Which enhances this typed domain even more. No tax expertise required, just bring your joy for type systems.

**Every product has a story.** *Making it verifiable with blockchain-backed digital product passports.* Every product has a story. Where does it come from? Who made it? Which materials were used? And under what conditions? At the upcoming Almere Tech Meetup, [Edmondo Grigolato](https://www.linkedin.com/in/edmondo-grigolato-15b2a22b/) will take us into the world of Digital Product Passports, powered by blockchain technology. Not as hype, but as a practical solution to real challenges in the supply chain. During the session, Edmondo will present his idea. He is still working on it and he is planning to release the MVP by then. Together, we will explore how it could be expanded across the supply chain and what real value it might create for companies and consumers. What concrete value does this create for producers, logistics providers and retailers? And how does it bring real, verifiable value to consumers? The program is as follows: * **17.30** Door open, welcome drinks * **18.00** Word of welcome by [Stijn Sprenkels](https://www.linkedin.com/in/stijnsprenkels/), serving of snacks * **18.15** Talk by [Edmondo Grigolato](https://www.linkedin.com/in/edmondo-grigolato-15b2a22b/) * **18.45** Q&A, discussion * **19.15** Networking drinks * **20.00** End **Almere Tech** is the meetup for the larger Almere area for startups, entrepreneurs, developers and those interested to discuss new technology. Everybody can join in for a drink and hopefully interesting and inspiring conversations. Hope to see you all again soon!

The topic for March is "Our Bodies, Ourselves" Speak Easy: true stories, told live. The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast. Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect. The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!

Bring your work or your hobby, hang out, and code with us. Follow @buckeyecocoa for more information.
