Was a fabulous week, if y’all didn’t make it this year, don’t miss #dev2next 2026 in Denver!

#Java #SharingKnowledge

So long Colorado. Good times had and memories made at #dev2next this year. Thank you @dev2next.bsky.social and @venkats.bsky.social ! 🙏 Below was my new sighting at Garden of the Gods this trip. Balanced with the force is this rock. An inspiration. Balance we must all find. ⚖️

Super excited about my first trip to South Africa. Speaking at a few events and also at the Johannesburg JUG tonight.

GenAI: Are we evolving the craft of software development — or eroding it? 🤖💻

Every developer starts by learning. The real growth happens when you start sharing. 🚀

At #dev2next, @bjschrijver.dev's keynote showed how this simple cycle transformed his career — and how it can transform yours too.
