On my way to #JAVAZONE to present one of my favorite topics Buildpacks! After so many years of trying, I made it this year into the agenda. Yay!

🚀 Spring Boot running in your browser tab. Just because I can!

I wrote up the journey, some numbers, and a few things I learned along the way.

Hopefully a fun read. Feedback very welcome! 😄

High noon in Lapland in January. The sun is barely visible over the horizon and seen through a snowy landscape.

This is a really interesting summary of the work @thoughtworks has been doing to remove the source code review and enable LLMs to consistently produce high quality results: they built a review agent that codified the recurring PR feedback: mine the last 1,000 review comments, cluster them, turn the repeat offenders into invariants the agent enforces.

Meta is killing source code writing, if you like it or not, and as software crafters I don't think we can ignore this.

A pile of programming books on fire, flames consuming the pages

The benefits of formalizing the building blocks that make up software enable human engineers to speed up the planning and review processes and LLMs will have clear definitions of what to build, and how. Their output again can be reviewed more efficiently. This leaves more time for humans to be creative and do what they can do best: come up with edge cases and be creative in finding better solutions within given constraints.
