Misty Fall morning vibes

As a history geek, I was jazzed to have @sharatchander.bsky.social on @redmonk.com's MonkCast to share his memories & experiences about the Java community, both as a way to celebrate the past 30 years of #Java, & look forward to the next 30 🎉 🎉 redmonk.com/blog/2025/11... youtube.com/shorts/22QrO...

Java turned 30 this year, and we're celebrating 🎂 🎉 @sharatchander.bsky.social, Senior Director of #Java Product Management & Developer Engagement at Oracle, stopped by the MonkCast to discuss this milestone with @kateholterhoff.com redmonk.com/blog/2025/11...

Loved this interview between @kateholterhoff.com and @scalingdevtools.bsky.social host Jack. So many nuggets of advice for folks building startups. redmonk.com/blog/2025/11... - talk to users or potential users - going to SF is a cheat code, but not required 1/2

Have you seen Firefox’s new mascot, @rstephens.me ?!? www.firefox.com/en-US/kit/

At #KubeCon 2025 I was struck by what a huge concern networking remains within the @cncf.bsky.social & Kubernetes ecosystem. For this @redmonk.com post, I reflect on my takeaways redmonk.com/kholterhoff/...

What in the Nature Channel is going on here??

Chatted with Jack Bridger, host of @scalingdevtools.bsky.social & #DevX at @layercode.bsky.social, all about founders, fear, & devtools in this @redmonk.com conversation redmonk.com/blog/2025/11... youtube.com/shorts/45rlb...

Me in ATL waiting for all my #kubecon friends to arrive

This is why I stan @rstephens.me 😍

Curious about what happened between @python.org & the National Science Foundation? Me too, so I asked PSF executive director @eximious.bsky.social onto @redmonk.com's MonkCast to discuss the situation & share her perspective redmonk.com/blog/2025/11... youtube.com/shorts/_DDWk...

Who is the smartest person writing about mobile development these days? I have so many questions

I can hear @quinnypig.com reading this article to me. It’s uncanny. With dramatic pauses and everything www.theregister.com/2025/11/04/a...

When you dump out a puzzle box, and 2 pieces are already attached, do you break them apart or leave them together?

When will the municipal water in Atlanta stop tasting so fricking bad?! I'm sick of brushing my teeth and tasting algae when I spit. My ZeroWater filter doesn't even help.

Come say hi 👋 if you're at @github.com Universe this week! Also, my interview from last year's #GitHubUniverse is in the promo video 🤩 w @redmonk.com www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wtpx...

Turns out one weird trick for the ATL girl to not wake up at 3:00 am PST when visiting SF, is to go to bed at 3:00 am EST 🧠

Hear @aparker.io, Director of #oss @honeycomb.io & a maintainer of the @opentelemetry.io project, chat with me about #AI, #Olly, & #OTel on this @redmonk.com conversation. redmonk.com/blog/2025/10...

Finally got to try baklava cheesecake. HBD to me!!

WebAssembly (Wasm) 3.0 dropped, and the developer community has some thoughts! Business as usual on the internet, right? Sure, but this update to the specification also dredges up ongoing questions about Wasm's purpose and identity. Let's discuss! @redmonk.com redmonk.com/kholterhoff/...

I slept for 12 hours last night 😴

Friends, I just used the power of wishing to make a 2nd mimosa appear in front of me (someone inexplicably didn’t want it?!?) #BarTelekinesis

Advice from @hildjj.cto.af on the art of managing people/ team/ corporate culture w éclat at #monktoberfest

Analyst relations are a perfect example of the reality where you can't just dictate stuff to people. You need to have the relationship built, the interpersonal trust, to advocate for solutions/tech choices/whatever to people. And that's soft skills. #monktoberfest

When you discover that “soft skills” have been re-branded “power skills” #monktoberfest

I recorded a @redmonk.com quick take video chattin' about what's got me jazzed for #IBM #TechXchange 2025. Make sure to say 'Hi' to @sogrady.org and me if you'll be in Orlando!

"I think we have entered the grumpy era of AI and codersystems." -- @monkchips.com with the @redmonk.com crew talking AI: redmonk.com/blog/2025/09...

This week, Oracle released Java 25. Several developers have used this release as an opportunity to share their enthusiasm around the JVM and Oracle’s stewardship. This strikes me as noteworthy, and in this @redmonk.com post I discuss why redmonk.com/kholterhoff/...

We have entered AI's "grumpy-fun" era, so for this MonkCast with the Monks I caught up with my colleagues @rstephens.me & @monkchips.com to discuss the ROI of AI tools, AI code assistants, vibe coding, agentic IDEs, AI spec-driven development, and the AI Engineer. redmonk.com/blog/2025/09...

i realise we hate AI here, but this post about vibe coding by my colleague @kateholterhoff.com is an excellent read. redmonk.com/kholterhoff/... not sure why i can't post Alt text. A still from a GIF of a 1960s movie, people dancing on a beach, foregrounded by a woman in a yellow bikini
