My Twitch #Java live coding schedule this week is today (Monday), Wednesday, and Thursday starting at 8pm UTC.

Probably won’t stream on Tuesday so I can do final prep for my Testable Architecture talk on Wednesday.

https://jitterted.stream is the place!

I'll be adding this article (and enriching my talk on the topic) to my list of references. If you're interested in learning about event-sourcing from scratch (esp. in #Java), check out my Ted talk: https://ted.dev/talks/#event-sourcing-from-scratch-online-zoom-talk-(november-25%2C-2025)

Even if you’ve read the JEPs—have you used #RecordPatterns to refactor old-school branching logic? @manojnp shows how to turn bloated instanceof trees into readable, idiomatic #Java code with just records.

On my #Java live coding stream today, when implementing the JDBC implementation of my Event Store, I talked about doing #TDD for Discovery and Design (learning about what the desired behavior should be), vs. implementing a known behavioral specification.

Instead of buying stuff during Black Friday that I don’t really need, I’m sponsoring open source #Java projects that I rely on. Today's donation is to Tatu Saloranta, the authot of the #Jackson JSON library (among other things!).
