A blurry photo of Lutske de Leeuw and the audience during JNation 2025. Everybody is smiling and raising or waving their hand to be in the picture.

Lutske de Leeuw raises her hand to ask the audience to answer the question on the screen. During her Jnation talk "Tame your llama, get AI in Java" The room is light and you see the audience listening carefully with every seat is taken.

Lutske de Leeuw smiling and doing thumbs up just before the presentation in a green dress behind her stickered laptop and the JNation stand with an owl with a rock guitar. In the back you see a Jnation flag and a part of the big screen.

Had burritos, swapped culture stories, and ended up singing “Stairway to Heaven” with a room full of Java devs. Not your average @jugnoord.bsky.social night.
Shout-out to @rijosam.com & @hanno.codes for the laughs, lessons, and live music. 💙🎸
