A few weeks ago, I gave a keynote talk at the DataSmart 2025 conference in Trondheim. I discussed a multi-agentic system I built with #Java and open-source tools (no frameworks), emphasizing the importance of ethics. It was one of my first tech keynotes ever, and I’m grateful for the support.

One of the original founders of JavaBin, 30 years ago! 🙏🏼

More photos! Our Christmas meetup was great! For me, being a #Java Champion, is all about community. It’s about the people, our speakers and members. Also important is honoring heroes such as Steinar Kjærnsrød, on the picture with me, who was one of the original founders of JavaBin 30 years ago 🙏🏼🏆🎄

Our JavaBin Christmas meetup about #AI and #Java was a huge success, with a record turnout on our event🎄🏆 Our speakers, local heroes from our community, did amazing 👏🏼 We also served free Christmas dinner for all the attendees in true JavaBin tradition and quality. Super proud of my JUG and our team.

@johnfjellstad.bsky.social Jeg kan se at du har sendt inn en lyntale.

Jeg skal sjekke og si fra 👍🏼

And I especially welcome my female peers in tech to send in proposals.

We'd like to see more proposals for #JavaZone. An updated list of categories you can consider:

- Core Java/JVM
- All coding languages
- Security
- Backend / frontend
- Architecture
- Frameworks, techniques, processes
- Project experiences
- Leadership, mentoring & DEI

Hope to see more suggestions!

I’m happy it wasn’t another “how to prompt” talk. You gave us important clues for using & guiding the models, & knowing how they work in the editor. More importantly, to remember to think ourselves when designing code.

A seriously good talk by @venkats.bsky.social today 🏆 It’s not another hype talk; you really learn how to use of AI with techniques in TDD in a way that give you control & understanding of the code. Two incredible hours of live coding, discussions & inspiration. Congrats Venkat, and thank you 🙏🏼

The model has a “stopping problem”, we need to guide it in the correct direction instead of keep generating method after method.

We just saw how the model is learning even how we format our code 🤯 We have also seen how the models keep throwing bad code at us. Venkat’s advice: Use AI for ideas, not solutions.

We, the Norwegian JUG, are hosting the “Test Driving Code with the Help of AI” talk with @venkats.bsky.social. The room is packed & Venkat is talking about how to model, build and test the Game of Life problem with AI & TDD. Venkat’s ability to convey knowledge is without comparison. Thanks Venkat 🙏🏼

Here is a few categories you can consider when sending talks to JavaZone:

- Core Java/JVM
- Frameworks and languages
- Techniques & processes (technical)
- Experience talks (such as projects)
- Leadership and mentoring
- Diversity, inclusion and equity

I advise especially my female peers to send proposals.

I’m so sorry hear this. I’m praying for your father and his safety, and your family. Take care of each other and also yourself in this difficult time. I know how much is your family means to you, and I sincerely hope he will be better soon.

Hope to see you there!

That’s one of Jim’s super powers 🏆 He did the same at JavaZone with me and Marek (JZ program lead).

The Norwegian #Java User Group in Oslo concluded the year with our annual Christmas meetup. I did a talk with Jørn Baltzersen about AI & automation.

A huge thanks to all the amazing people in our community who made 2024 great. Community is team work and people who believe in & help each other.

I did my very first keynote talk on engineering management, and the importance of applying kindness into engineering practice. I believe it’s more important than ever before. My deepest gratitude to Remarkable for inviting me and trusting me with the honor of sharing this important topic.

You are welcome to Oslo as well 🤞🏼

Meeting Bjarne Stroustrup was a lifetime memory & among the many insights he had was the history of OO, including the Simula language. Among the things we talked about were the origins of the “class” keyword. Here is the Simula-paper from 1967 telling you about that 🙂

It has been an amazing evening, as I met & had dinner with Bjarne Straoustrup. Listening to his talk on modern #C++ in Univ of Bergen today + hearing his thoughts & advices about coding means so much. I rarely met anyone with such a deep insight into coding langs. A day to remember & a nice memory!

Did a talk about FP-style coding with #Java 23 for our Norwegian community in the west coast of Norway a week ago. Amazing nature, scenery, fjords and the cleanest and coldest water straight from the river. If you wanna see fjords then Sogndal is the place, & with a community talk is even better.
