I've been writing about better building blocks in #Java. Several blogs since March 2026 including:

• Empty should be empty
• Lazy & eager performance
• Memory costs for lazy iteration
• Intention Revealing Names
• Collecting Collectors
• "Fat-free" Lambdas
• Snow Leopards & Tribbles

Stories to inspire, including the blog linked below from March 2025. 🙏

Lottie animations on the JVM.

New blog and video: I talked with Naail Abdul Rahman, R&D engineer at LottieFiles, about the full Lottie story.

We covered the history (from Bodymovin to Airbnb to everywhere), the dotLottie format and why it matters, compliance with the LAC spec, and what comes next for Lottie4J.

Timestamped chapters if you want to jump straight to a topic.

It’s been a busy week in the #Java ecosystem!

Highlights include:
➤ Lifecycle changes with two of the JEPs that were targeted for JDK 27; the GA release of Koog 1.0; point releases of Hazelcast, Quarkus, Hibernate and JHipster; the 8th milestone release of Spring AI 2.0; and introducing Endive, a JVM-native WebAssembly (Wasm) runtime.

I’m not only presenting two talks (one is a game, guess what it is), but also thrilled to do a workshop on my current passion: #EventSourcing and #DomainDrivenDesign #Java

I just sponsored Namastack for the Outbox Pattern. Join me and sponsor your open source dependencies!

So, #Intellij just autocreated an empty method for
ticketReissueRepository.findByTicketPurchase_Order_IdOrderByReissueDateDesc(int) via guided autocomplete in this (not quite #SpringBoot) system and... I'm a little conflicted

Obviously it Just Worked (and if it hadn't it would have failed immediately at runtime rather than lurking until called), and writing JPA was never something that got me up in the mornings, but... If this is The Pattern, there is a lot of code to refactor

Do you love a good mystery? Do you know what the type "java.util.Collections$2" is in #Java? I didn't know until I blogged about it.👇

In my latest blog, I explain this and other mysterious class names you may encounter in Java.

Thanks for reading! 🙏

Great series of articles about Ecotone, a PHP #EventSourcing library (framework?), and this one about projections was nice to read as it confirms my current implementation (and/or design) in my ES library for #Java.
