The problem: research ideas hit on the train, in line, mid-conversation. You'd start a thread in Claude web, then lose it โ€” or find a Q&A scroll with no synthesis. Useless as context for actual work.

As AI coding assistants gain access to our codebases, terminals, and databases, we're one prompt injection away from disaster. Here's what we covered โ€” it's worse than you think.

3. An exfiltration channel

Combine all three and you have a problem. Remove one and you break the triangle.

For ten years our internal presentations lived in PowerPoint. Locked behind MS Office, painful to diff, impossible to review properly, and every rebranding meant manually converting every single deck. Again.

We finally migrated them. Claude got me past the activation barrier.

๐–๐ก๐ฒ ๐’๐ฅ๐ข๐๐ž๐ฏ?
- Every deck is a static site โ€” no more "can you send me the slides?" emails, just a URL
- Real git diffs โ€” a typo fix is `+1 -1`, not "binary file changed"
- No MS Office dependency โ€” it's markdown, HTML, CSS, and Vue
- Layout consistency for free โ€” one theme, every slide

We didn't learn Slidev. Didn't refresh our rusty Vue. But handed Claude our rebranded .pptx template + our website and said "match this." Then we got carried away โ€” countdown timers, custom components, a MoSCoW-prioritized migration of all our decks...

The conversion from .pptx โ†’ Slidev was not trivial. Mismatched slide numbers, lost presenter notes, missing images, hidden slides... It took two PowerPoints before it worked smoothly. After that? Coffee and admiration. The learnings were codified into a migration skill so every next deck converted faster than the last.

Once slides are markdown, you can pipe them through an AI critique pass. Talks from 2022โ€“2025 got updated with new developments, restructured, expanded. The Architecture KickOff deck got the biggest overhaul โ€” it's a lot more... SOLID now :smirk:

๐“๐ก๐ž ๐ซ๐ž๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ญ:
7 presentations converted. Every new talk ships as Slidev. One push deploys to our public site.

This is the pattern we're seeing everywhere right now โ€” "low priority work" that never gets done because it's too much learning, too much effort... that just gets done now.

Wat als je elk gesprek kon binnenstappen met meer inzicht in wat er รฉcht wordt gecommuniceerd? ๐Ÿ‘€

Vorige week donderdag organiseerden we bij Itenium een soft skill sessie rond lichaamstaal voor onze consultants. Tijdens deze interactieve training leerden we gesprekspartners beter inschatten, meer vertrouwen uitstralen en non-verbale signalen herkennen die vaak meer vertellen dan woorden alleen.

Want communicatie gaat verder dan wat er gezegd wordt. Wie lichaamstaal begrijpt, bouwt sneller vertrouwen op en haalt meer uit elk gesprek.

โœ… Sterkere connecties
โœ… Slimmere communicatie
โœ… Meer impact in gesprekken

Wat een dag was dat! ๐ŸŽ‰

Afgelopen Pinkstermaandag trok Itenium naar Nerdland Festival โ€” het grootste openluchtwetenschapsfestival van de Benelux. Een dag vol inspirerende talks, boeiende demo's en verrassende experiences rond technologie, wetenschap en innovatie.

Voor iedereen met een nieuwsgierige geest was dit een absolute topper.

Icetenium is in opbouw โ€” en Domain Driven Design speelt daarin een belangrijke rol.

Bij Itenium organiseerden we een DDD-track voor onze consultants: drie sessies waarin theorie en praktijk samenkwamen.
Icetenium vormde daarbij de fictieve case โ€” een ijsverkoopplatform waarop we de DDD-principes toepasten.

๐Ÿ“Œ Sessie 1 โ€” Eventstorming
Samen brachten we domeinen, processen en business events in kaart. Niet vertrekken vanuit code, maar vanuit begrip van het domein.

โš™๏ธ Sessie 2 โ€” DDD Architecture
We bekeken hoe je DDD vertaalt naar een schaalbare architectuur met bounded contexts, context mapping en verschillende architectuurstijlen.

๐Ÿ“ Sessie 3 โ€” Implementing DDD
We bouwden een proof of concept uit in Java en .NET, gebaseerd op de inzichten uit de eerdere sessies. Hands-on en pragmatisch.

Van post-its tot productiecode: zo brengen we DDD echt in de praktijk.

Werk jij ook met DDD, of overweeg je het in te zetten? We wisselen graag van gedachten.

Met dank aan Vermorgen!
