I manage the Java Core Libraries team at Oracle. I also draw Duke images in my spare time. And play guitar. And collect vintage Zenith remote controls. Yes, I'm an odd duck. All opinions are my own.

I'm seeing lots of AI generated Java Dukes appearing with a mouth, feet, ears and more. Tip: when using AI, upload this “Duke Specification” image, prompt AI to follow as a reference. I think you'll find the resulting image is much better. Ex: "draw duke on a skateboard referencing this spec image"

I save things to pocket (getpocket.com) and tag them witha label, e.g. "bluesky"

It’s not a lot, but it makes the timeline more manageable.
