There's a whole host of autoformatters for #Java. Which one do I want, assuming that I:

- Have astigmatism and greatly prefer 4 space indents
- Will probably use tons of lambdas and pattern matching
- Am otherwise okay with "good enough" and don't really care about the stylistic details
- Never want anything by Palantir to touch my machine ever

?

For those who live or have lived (like me up till 2020) in JavaLand, this will be a stimulating read: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/project-valhalla-explained-how-decade-work-arrives-jdk-skowroński-paulf/ (tl;dr: Java value classes)

When I was a Java-head, I mostly hated all the new Java features because to a one, they made it less readable. I think this mostly won’t? Can’t wait to hear reports back from people who try applying it to big codebases.

@bagder I have been wondering for a while now why people go on a rant about for instance Java and then add the hashtag #java to it. Doing that will bring it to the attention of people who are interested in Java and almost certainly not interested in their ranting.

So with me it gets them muted. Is that what they want? Or do they really expect to get a response by using that hashtag? 🤔

It makes no sense to me. But it certainly is handy for shaping my bubble by removing some jokers from it. 🥳

I have no idea if people still read blogs or just ask everything to AI. But I redesigned my blog and I am quite proud of the result. See https://www.wimdeblauwe.com/

There is now also a search to quickly find past articles. Give it a try and let me know what you think!

@jnkrtech Not specifically Spring, but solid and up-to-date book on #Java concurrency: https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/modern-concurrency-in/9781098165406/

Does anyone know of good introductions to #Java concurrency, specifically around thread pools, async, and #SpringBoot?

I’ve just joined a team which uses SpringBoot for gRPC microservices after spending my last 14 years in a single-threaded language. I’ve found a UDemy course which I might take but I’m wondering if anyone has other recommendations. I’m specifically *not* interested in just reading API documentation; I’ve been looking at it but I’m missing the thousand foot view and so nothing really fits together in context.

I have a CS degree and understand basic concepts like mutexes etc. already.

Here’s what I’m looking at buying next; I would love feedback on whether this is a good idea ahead of time:

Happy to announce I started writing my next book: Crafting Spring Boot Starters.

You will learn how the best Spring Boot 4 starters get written, the ones that just feel idiomatic when you drop them in. 30+ chapters, patterns from real production libraries built from scratch.
