King John is a historical play packed with political intrigue, shifting loyalties, and sharp commentary on power. The play follows the turbulent reign of King John of England as he struggles to defend his crown against rival claims, foreign threats, and internal rebellion. While the play dramatizes medieval politics, its questions about authority, nationalism, and the cost of war remain relevant.

*Talk by Joakim Ahnfelt-Rønne and Michael Flænø Werk* What's the set of features you need to build a production webapp? In this talk we build a minimal but feature-complete (or is it?) webapp in our functional-imperative hybrid web language, Firefly, packing in the features we think are essential: Route-based bundling, server side rendering with hydration, declarative DOM, scoped CSS, WebSockets, serialization, typed RPC, and more. *As usual, there's mingling at the local bar after the talk.*

**Welcome to our February UX Beers in Antwerp!** This time, we will host our event on Tuesday the 24th of February with [Ariad](https://www.ariadgroup.com/en) at [Plein Magazijn](https://www.pleinmagazijn.be) in Antwerp. [Ariad](https://www.ariadgroup.com/) and [Creative Skills](https://www.creativeskills.be/) sponsor our events. 📺 Follow the event online?

In this talk, we explore why UX is the space where brand promises are either proven or broken, and why, in the age of AI, alignment between brand and user experience has become a strategic imperative. Drawing on real-world examples, this talk reframes UX designers as brand storytellers, and UX deciders and stakeholders as guardians of trust. It also introduces an **AI-driven Brand Sentiment Analysis workflow**, showing how teams can translate user signals into actionable insights, and design experiences that don’t just function, but reinforce how a brand is felt, remembered, and believed. **Talk 2: The UX evolution: thriving in the age of intelligent systems** [David Grunewald](https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidgrunewald/), Founder of Pluginto.ai , AI-Strategist AI is fundamentally changing how UX professionals work, but it's amplifying our capabilities, not replacing them. This 45-minute session explores what's actually happening in 2026. You'll see real implementations from banking, healthcare, and other sectors: proactive systems that anticipate needs, conversational interfaces that adapt to individual patterns, and hyper-personalisation at scale. We'll examine **four trends reshaping UX practice and, more importantly, what they mean for your daily work**. What's being automated? What's gaining value? And what are the five essential skills that set you apart in an AI-augmented world? You'll leave with clarity on how to evolve your practice and confidence that your human expertise remains your competitive advantage. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- \#\#\# SCHEDULE 18:00 - Doors open.

**“The Role of the State (!) — Nanny, Neutral Referee, or Quiet Manipulator?”** Freedom, Responsibility, Behavioral Economics, and Who Really Decides The modern state no longer just taxes, regulates, and enforces laws. It nudges. It designs choices. It subtly shapes behavior—often in the name of health, safety, equality, or efficiency. But where is the line between helping citizens and controlling them? This isn’t a left–right debate or a policy seminar. It’s a philosophical conversation about power, freedom, and the assumptions we make about human behavior. *** **Topics we’ll touch on:** * Is the “nanny state” a myth—or a growing reality? * Behavioral economics: helping people choose better, or bypassing free will? * Are nudges respectful guidance—or soft coercion? * Who decides what “good behavior” actually is? * Can freedom survive if choices are engineered? * Do people need protection from themselves—or from the state? * And ultimately… what kind of citizens does this model create: autonomous adults or well-managed subjects? Casual discussion. No background in economics or political theory required—just curiosity and a willingness to reflect honestly. Whether you value strong institutions, personal freedom, or feel torn between the two—you’re not alone. Let’s examine the invisible hands shaping our choices—and ask how much guidance we really want.

In this session, we’ll explore how GitHub Spec-Kit enables teams to treat specifications as first-class artifacts—living documents that drive architecture, implementation, and verification. You’ll learn how Spec-Kit helps teams clearly express intent using structured, version-controlled specs that live alongside code. We’ll walk through a practical workflow that starts with defining system behavior and constraints, then progressively refines those specs into testable, automatable outcomes. Along the way, we’ll show how specs can reduce ambiguity, improve cross-functional collaboration, and make design decisions explicit before a single line of production code is written. This talk will cover: --What spec-driven development is (and what it isn’t) --How GitHub Spec-Kit fits into modern developer workflows --Using specs to align product, engineering, and AI-assisted development --Real-world examples of turning specs into implementations with confidence Whether you’re building greenfield systems, integrating AI into your stack, or trying to reduce costly rework, spec-driven development offers a scalable way to move faster without sacrificing clarity. Attendees will leave with concrete patterns and a clear mental model for adopting GitHub Spec-Kit in their own projects. **YouTube Link** TBA
