How to survive and thrive as a dev (team) in the exponential age of AI. Real-world AI adoption, smarter ways of working, and lessons from the front lines
Sander Hoogendoorn shares a practical, no-hype view of AI at iBOOD: how it’s reshaping product architecture, engineering, and team culture. He covers real risks like lock-in and fragile dependencies, and explains why autonomous microteams, experimentation, and adaptability replace traditional processes in the AI era.

The AI revolution isn’t coming — it’s already altering how we architect products, ship features, and run engineering teams.
During this talk, in his signature charismatic style, Sander Hoogendoorn, CTO at iBOOD.com and a seasoned developer with over four decades of coding experience, doesn’t get stuck in theory or hype, but confronts the pressing issues head-on. You’ll get a no-fluff, grounded view from iBOOD — what we’re already doing with AI, how we built it into our systems, and how it shapes the way we work.
We won’t shy away from the dark side either — vendor lock-in, breaking prompts, model opacity, shifting APIs, and how quickly a dependency can become fragile. These are real risks that shape architectural and organizational decisions we make daily.
To survive exponential speed, we retired many practices: no Scrum, no rigid ceremonies, no big upfront plans, no pull requests or code reviews. Instead, we embrace working in fluid autonomous microteams, continuous learning, experimentation, and radical adaptability.
Expect an honest, fast-paced, and experience-driven session — mixing architecture, culture, and practical insight — on what it truly takes for developers and teams to survive and thrive in the age of AI.

Sander Hoogendoorn
Sander Hoogendoorn is an independent dad, avid traveler, and lifelong software developer. With over 40 years of hands-on coding experience under his belt, he still ships code every day — because once a developer, always a developer.
Currently the CTO at iBOOD, Sander has led technology at several companies over the past decade and was once Capgemini’s global agile thought leader. But don’t expect corporate buzzwords — Sander’s known for cutting through the fluff with a post-agile mindset and a healthy disregard for outdated best practices.
He helps teams and organizations break rules that need breaking — replacing heavyweight processes with lightweight thinking, and agile dogma with actual flow. If something’s slowing your team down, chances are he’s already ranted about it in a keynote.
Onstage, Sander brings code, stories, and sharp insights — whether he’s talking disruption, continuous delivery, microservices, monads (yes, really), software architecture, or the lost art of writing beautiful code. His talks are fast-paced, thought-provoking, and never just theory.
Sander believes in small steps, critical thinking, and building stuff that works. No silver bullets. Just better software, made by better teams.
