**Um was geht es dieses mal?** **Das Ende der Code-Ära: Warum Domain Modeling & Harness Engineering die wichtigsten Skills 2026 sind. - Benjamin Font Pera (codecentric)** "Die Ära, in der Softwareentwicklung primär durch das Beherrschen von Programmiersprachen und Frameworks definiert wurde, ist vorbei. Wer 2026 noch versucht, über reine Syntax-Kenntnisse Wertschöpfung zu generieren, hat gegen agentische KI-Systeme bereits verloren. Die eigentliche Herausforderung hat sich nach links verschoben: in die präzise Definition von Problemen und die Konstruktion von Leitplanken. In diesem Talk räume ich mit dem Mythos auf, dass KI uns das Denken abnimmt. Im Gegenteil: Die Verantwortung steigt. Ich stelle das Konzept des Harness Engineering vor – die Kunst, fachliche Anforderungen so in Test- und Evaluationsgerüste zu gießen, dass KI-Systeme darin verlässlich operieren können. Als Agentic Coding Engineer und AI Coach zeige ich auf, warum Fachlichkeit zur wichtigsten technischen Fähigkeit wird. Wenn die KI Code generiert oder “halluziniert”, ist das tiefe Verständnis der Domäne das einzige verlässliche Werkzeug zur Qualitätssicherung. Die Kernbotschaften: Problem-Definition als Hard-Skill: Warum die Fähigkeit, komplexe Fachlichkeit präzise einzufangen, das neue „Clean Code” ist. Harness Engineering statt Code-Fixing: Wie wir die Kontrolle behalten, indem wir das „Harnisch” (Evals & Guardrails) bauen, statt Zeile für Zeile zu reviewen. Shift Left zur Domäne: Warum Entwickler:innen 2026 mehr wie System-Architekten und Domänen-Experten denken müssen, um relevant zu bleiben. Lessons Learned vom AI Coach: Warum die größten Hürden dieser Transformation nicht technischer Natur sind, sondern im Mindset der „Lösungs-Produzenten” liegen. Dieser Vortrag ist ein Weckruf für alle, die Softwareentwicklung noch als Handwerk am Code verstehen – und ein Leitfaden für diejenigen, die bereit sind, die nächste Ebene der Abstraktion zu besetzen." **Hybrides Setup!** Wir freuen uns, euch bei uns in den Räumen der codecentric AG in Dortmund willkommen zu heißen. Vor Ort versorgen wir euch mit Snacks und Getränken und freuen uns gleichzeitig über interessante Diskussionen und einen guten Austausch. Für alle, die es nicht zu uns ins Office schaffen, werden wir das Meetup Hybrid durchführen. Der Stream beginnt ca. 10 Minuten später, damit wir vor Ort ausreichend Möglichkeit für persönliches Kennenlernen haben. Den Live-Stream findet ihr auf dem [YouTube-Channel](https://www.youtube.com/@codecentricAG) der codecentric AG. **Wichtig - Absage bitte rechtzeitig:** Wir bestellen das Essen bereits 3 Tage vor dem Meetup. Falls ihr doch verhindert sein solltet, bitten wir euch um eine rechtzeitige Absage. Das ist wichtig, damit wir nicht unnötig Essen verschwenden müssen. Vielen Dank für euer Verständnis! **Anreise:** Per Zug: Vom Dortmunder HBF sind es ca. 10 Minuten zu Fuß. Mit dem Auto: Rund um das Office gibt es einige Parkflächen, dazu befinden sich in dem Parkhaus der Thier-Galerie weitere Parkplätze.

**Organised by:** [Neurodiversity Education Academy](https://www.neurodiversityeducationacademy.org) & [Neurodiversity Foundation](https://neurodiversiteit.nl) Donation based: More information & [Tickets here](https://www.eventbrite.nl/e/designing-for-belonging-reimagining-cultural-spaces-where-all-minds-thrive-tickets-1988750293664) **What does it mean for a space to truly belong to everyone?** Not just to welcome but to have been shaped by the full range of minds, bodies, and ways of being that make up our communities. Not just to open its doors wider but to ask whether the building itself was designed for the imaginary norm, and what it would take to change that. This conference starts from a simple but radical premise: **belonging is not a feeling that happens to people. It is something we design.** For cultural spaces, museums, libraries, community centres, urban regeneration sites, and the people who work within them, this is both a design challenge and a justice question. Approximately one in five people is neurodivergent. They are in our audiences, our communities, our organisations. They are often present, rarely centred, and almost never co-creating the spaces that claim to serve them. **Designing for Belonging brings together urban regenerators, cultural professionals, social innovators, educators, and neurodivergent practitioners** to explore what genuine neuroinclusion looks like when it moves beyond compliance and into culture. When it stops being an add-on and starts being the foundation. We will work through four interconnected themes. **From Presence to Power** Who is in the room and who gets to shape what happens there? There is a version of inclusion that counts bodies and ticks boxes and there is another version that fundamentally changes who holds creative and strategic power. This theme explores the difference between the two. We will look at co-design as a redistribution of authorship and what it looks like when neurodivergent people are not invited to review decisions already made, but are present from the very first question. We will examine neurodivergent leadership in cultural organisations, the structural conditions that make it possible, and what institutions need to unlearn before genuine power-sharing can take root. The question at the heart of this theme is not "Are we including enough people?" It is "Who is actually building this?" **The Body in the Space** Belonging is felt before it is thought. Before a visitor reads a single word of wall text, their nervous system has already made a judgment about whether this space is safe, legible, and meant for them. Lighting, acoustics, predictability, sensory load, the presence or absence of sound, these are not aesthetic choices. They are access decisions, made by default or by design. This theme takes the nervous system seriously as a design brief. We will explore what it means to create spaces that support regulation as well as engagement, that offer both stimulation and refuge, that honour the fact that people process the world through different portals. Drawing on sensory design, trauma-informed practice, and the lived expertise of neurodivergent communities, we will ask: what does a space need to feel like in order for every mind to genuinely thrive within it? **Stories That Reflect Us** Whose stories get told and in what form, at what pace, through whose voice? Cultural programming has long claimed to represent communities while reflecting back a surprisingly narrow version of human experience. Neurodivergent lives, when they appear at all, tend to appear as tragedy or triumph, rarely as the full, complex, contradictory, joyful, frustrated, creative reality that they are. This theme is about narrative justice in cultural spaces. We will explore how representation shapes belonging. It is not just who appears in the story, but how the story is structured, what formats it takes, how much sensory and cognitive flexibility it allows. We will look at what it means to build programming that does not just feature neurodivergent voices but is genuinely shaped by them in its rhythm, its register, its assumptions about how meaning gets made. Because a space that does not reflect you cannot fully belong to you. **Belonging as Infrastructure** Belonging is not a programme. It is not an awareness month or an access audit or a well-intentioned policy statement. It is an organisational culture, a set of practices, a long-term commitment to relationship and it requires infrastructure. This theme looks at what systemic neuroinclusion actually demands of cultural organisations: how it shapes hiring and leadership, how it lives in feedback loops and evaluation frameworks, how it changes the nature of community partnership. We will examine what it takes to move from isolated moments of good practice to an organisational ecology in which neuroinclusion is not one team's responsibility but everyone's — woven into how decisions are made, how spaces are evaluated, and how trust with neurodivergent communities is built and sustained over time. The question here is not "What have we done?" but "What have we become?" What does it take to move from spaces that accommodate neurodivergent people to spaces that are genuinely shaped by them?
