Congrats, good to see AssertJ covered 👍

Played around with the smaller 20b model in ollama + DevoxxGenie yesterday evening on a basic mac mini and really impressed so far 👍

It works wonderful as a local, interactive StackOverflow 😅

Congrats! I didn't know you were driving a DMC Delorean 😅

Just home from another inspiring meetup @openvalue.eu.
Loved @balarawool.bsky.social examples that build up to a clear understanding of vector databases, RAG and embeddings. The book I recommended Bala is Unlocking Data With Generative AI and RAG by Keith Bourne from Packt. #devlife #java #RAG

After @starbuxman.joshlong.com shared you can use Ctrl-L to clear your terminal I've been using that to prevent such typos. Plus it's faster 🚀😅

YouTube video by Ford Performance Max Verstappen And Chris Harris Drive ALL NEW Ford Mustang GTD! | Ford Performance

I usually avoid marketing videos, but this one featuring Max Verstappen and Chris Harris is awesome with a very natural interview in the first half while Harris drives the RS200. The Mustang won't even appear before 25 minutes in.
This is a must-see for any petrolhead

This was such a fun session to host: @fniephaus.com's demos are top notch; check it out!

Happy birthday @rustam.no 🥳🎂

Ordering something in France/Saint-Tropez the day before the national holiday is interesting. But at least the package is moving again. I hope 🙃

Yes, tooling has come a really long way (we used G++, OpenOffice, Java for tooling, but that's nowhere near modern-day offerings).

The 'getting seen' is an issue for all content the past decade: games, music, video, etc. There's just too much accessible and freely available.

Built a Nintendo GBA game in C++ & some Assembly with a small group of fellow students in our spare time in 2003 and nearly published it with Nintendo 😎

While there is a lot more information and free, high-quality engines these days, it wasn't all that bad 😉

YouTube video by Java HTTP/3 in Java - Inside Java Newscast #96

HTTP/3 has lower latency, loads more quickly, and leads to less network congestion - all good reasons for #Java to adopt it, which is what JEP 517 proposes. More in the latest Inside Java Newscast:

True, true.
And on the other hand, it could just be "great proposal, but we don't have any slots left" 😔

"global tech speakers community" where we offer CfP reviews amongst our peers and I've seen several of those when community reviewing for conferences (and abstaining on voting).

Why not set something identical up in your company or with some fellow speakers? (2/2)

I think the main challenge for organisers is that there's sometimes just too many proposals to review, and tracking feedback on all of them is quite hard. As a submitter I really appreciated the feedback I got from @dev2next.bsky.social last year.
Within ING I'm also supporting a ... (1/2)

I'm starting to understand why there are so many AI talks outside the GenAI track now 😅

Figured there would be more slots available for this track due to the subject of the conference 🤔

Or you ask without making assumptions and find out that it's out of fear that records won't work with an orchestration framework. Which it does, so you clean up several pieces of code with a modern solution 👍

openHAB 5.0 Release A new major release of openHAB is here! openHAB 5.0 comes with a lot of exciting new features and improvements, including Matter support, a new Python Scripting add-on and a ton of other enhancements.

openHAB, the open source home automation software, has integrated GraalPy!🤖🐍
"Unlike the Jython Scripting add-on, it offers full Python 3.11 support and is future-proof. It can be used as a scripting language in UI, file-based rules, and transformation services"

If it's your first time just enjoy the sights in the old town. Castle is decent, but large. Beware of exchange rates/tourist traps.

Dinner/food is better in the embassy district near the castle. If you have some more time, grab a classical concert ticket in one of the churches.

Worked on the schedule proposal for our internal ING backend summit in September and really impressed by the subjects and line-up:
- Four Java champions,
- Six external speakers,
- 20 internal speakers of which 10 have presented at Devoxx/Voxxed/J-Fall and five new speakers taking the stage!

🤩

RIP Ozzy...

What do you do on a Friday 🤔
Add ADRs to your new project.

And quickly realize in a matter of a week, you made a lot of questionable tech decisions 😜

Was sharing my proposals with a colleague Wednesday and noticed I forgot to submit one draft 😅 Doesn't hurt to double-check!

Your friendly reminder to finalize and submit all your drafts for @devoxx.com :)

Current #Devoxx Belgium CFP status 🔥🔥
Still 1 day and 7 hours to go #procrastination

Great blogpost by ‪‪@terriblesoftware.org‬ - "If you understand distributed systems, you’ll use AI to build better ones. If you don’t, you’ll use AI to create distributed disasters." 🤔

As I've been saying for a while: LLMs can augment engineering, not replace it 🤦
