Just over two weeks ago I had the privilege of speaking at
@cern.voxxeddays.ch 2026.

Apart from nerding out over the LHC (see a previous post), it was great to speak about #IntelliJIDEA, see friends and meet new people.

The pictures by @ddoutsiopoulos.bsky.social are magic as always.

Is this the new "x years of experience with <library or framework that is less than x years old>"?
