Dear Cupid,

Can you please aim a quiver's worth of arrows at some companies so they would send me a job interview invites? Please. I'm a lonely heart still looking for work (in all the wrong places), but no one is sharing the love. I know a variety of languages like English, French, #C, #Erlang, #C#, #Java, or #NodeJS. Been looking to #Go polish some #Rust too. I make for a great work date on any flavour of #BSD or #Linux, but #NoAI (it never works like in the commercials and eats batteries galore).

Send me a job love letter for Valentine's Day, please?

Dear #Java developer, you really shouldn't miss this talk tomorrow.

It will be streamed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BK1vZQYZofs

#OpenJDK #Leyden #optimization #performance #talk #conference

In his mail "Data-Oriented Programming, Beyond Records", Project Amber lead Brian Goetz described a new #Java concept:

Carrier Classes

A generalization of records that allow us to succinctly define classes with a data-centric API that can participate in pattern matching and reconstruction.

Join me for the premiere on Thursday (22nd) 8am CET:

With the release of version 0.13.0, NullAway’s support for JSpecify continues to improve. A huge thank you to Manu Sridharan and all the contributors involved! https://github.com/uber/NullAway/releases/tag/v0.13.0 #java #spring

Your project has 2,000 tests—and nobody knows which are #JUnit4. Jean Donato explains how @OpenRewrite and Dependency Analyzer help you migrate safely, step by step.

I’ve been spending time with Java’s Foreign Function & Memory API lately.
It finally makes calling native libraries feel explicit and honest.

In this article, I build a local speech-to-text service with Quarkus and whisper.cpp.
No Python. No JNI wrappers. Just Java talking directly to native code.

If you care about local AI and clear boundaries, this one’s for you.

That said, we are in dire need of a good, simple, robust cross-platform application binary format. Something like #Java .

I mean, we have WASM, but that's hella cursed. :P

That said, we are in dire need of a good, simple, robust cross-platform application binary format. Something like #Java .

But definitely something more implementable than the Web browser... HTML5, JS, CSS et al have gotten way out of hand.

I really think #Gemini #GeminiProtocol is on to something with deliberately limiting #extensibility .

Memory management remains the primary factor for application performance in enterprise Java environments. Between 2017 and 2025, the ecosystem shifted from manual tuning to architectural selection. Industry data suggests that 60 percent of Java performance issues and 45 percent of...

Introduction In this post, we dive into a more advanced topic: pointer arithmetic in Java. With the introduction of the Foreign Function & Memory API (Panama), we can interact with native memory. Usually, when we work with off-heap memory, we use MemorySegment instances to ensure safety. However, creating these objects can sometimes add overhead. In…...

At #DevNexus in March, I'll be talking about my favorite topic: Refactoring #Java in IntelliJ IDEA!

Even if you're an experienced coder, I'll bet you'll still learn a few new things to try out.

2025 was a great year for #Spring and #Java

https://spring.io/blog/2025/12/30/this-year-in-spring-december-30th-2025

Yesterday, on my live coding #Java stream, I spent some time (more than I expected) creating some very rough benchmarks for my #EventSourcing example app, JitterTicket.

I had #Junie write a data generator to create 100 concerts, 1,000 customers, each buying 2-4 tix per concert.

Java as a scripting language?
Yes. And it’s actually good now.

I just published a hands-on guide to JBang: single-file Java, instant execution, inline deps, real CLI tools, even Quarkus APIs.

If you’ve ever wished Java “felt faster,” this one’s for you.

#Java #JBang #Java21 #DeveloperExperience #Quarkus

I broke down Event Sourcing in Quarkus using Java records, sealed types, pure functions, and a clean CQRS split.

Fully hands-on. No magic. Just data, folds, and clear architecture.
If you want to understand event sourcing without the hype, this one is for you.
