Opened the Java Annotated Monthly from @jetbrains.com and found my article "JavaScript (No, Not That One): Modern Automation with Java" in there. Did not expect that. Still processing. Thanks for the mention! 🙏 blog.jetbrains.com/idea/2026/04... #java

@voxxedzurich.bsky.social just started 🇨🇭 This afternoon I’ll be presenting Finding the Spark, my most personal talk so far. A story about motivation, community, and rediscovering what makes this job meaningful. If you’re around, come join 👋 #VDZ26

Here we go @voxxedzurich.bsky.social !
