This weekend is Global Day of Coderetreat 2025! We hosted an internal event today, our first GDCR event actually – and more than 30 developers from 3 company divisions (not only IT!) showed up 🤩 That was a very promising start! Looking forward to next year 😃 🤓🤖👾 #coderetreat #gdcr2025

Ihr habt am 08.12. noch nichts vor? Ihr interessiert euch für fachlich getriebene #Softwareentwicklung? Dann kommt doch in der UZ der Techniker Krankenkasse vorbei und verfolgt zwei Vorträge zum Thema #DDD. Ich freue mich!

Am 19. November spreche ich beim ScrumTisch Darmstadt über "Coaching-Modelle für Technical Agile Coaching" 🔬📊🛠️ Da es ein Online-Event wird, ist die Teilnahme ganz einfach – einfach anmelden 😊 www.meetup.com/de-DE/scrumt...

#Autumn & #Harvest Amidst all technology, it's good to ground oneself from time to time. Yes, in real soil. 🪏👨‍🌾

25 years ago, on 13 September 2000, #MacOSX Public Beta was released at Apple Expo Paris. The "operating system for the next 15 years" is now 25 years old. What an amazing engineering feat to evolve such large software (operating) system over such a long time! Kudos to the engineers at #Apple

Probably Agile or Scrum doesn’t have enough practices on the technical side. Why would you think you can be agile with arbitrary technical approaches? hachyderm.io/@mike_bowler...

Vor einiger Zeit war ich zu Gast beim "Digital Insurance #Podcast" von Jonas Piela und durfte mit ihm über #TechnicalCoaching in der Softwareentwicklung sprechen – heute wurde diese Episode veröffentlicht 🤩 Viel Spaß beim Hören! 🎧 pielaco.com/podcast/ Stream-Links in den Kommentaren ⬇️

Thank you Tesco! That's always good to know 😅

Jakarta EE 11 released! 🎉 jakarta.ee/specificatio... Spec page updated and API available on Central: repo1.maven.org/maven2/jakar... Thanks to all our friends who contributed to this amazing release, you rock! 🥳 #Java #JakartaEE #JakartaEE11 #GlassFish #GlassFish8

My new side project is live - @legacy-modernization.io I curated my knowledge of legacy modernization patterns into a website. I still have lots of content to add but the current version is hopefully a bit useful legacy-modernization.io #legacyModernization #architectureModernization

I'll be speaking at @wearedevelopers.bsky.social World Congress 2025 in Berlin on July 10/11 about "Modern Software Development – DORA all the way, or what?" See you there! 😃 worldcongress.dev #WWC25 #WeAreDevs

When I read (most valuable!) observations like these, it makes me think if – by learning how to better ask questions to AI models – we actually learn how to better interact with our human colleagues. We practice asking questions that foster reasoning about code, its design & architecture.

Gestern Abend hat @rene-wilby.de beim DevTalk@TK über seine Erfahrungen mit der Integration von Java-Backends mit Spring Boot und Frontends mit React, TypeScript, Hilla etc. gesprochen. Ein schöner Überblick – und ein ziemlich cooles Live-Coding 😎 www.meetup.com/devtalk-tk/

Java turns 30 today 🎉🤩 What a journey: From being a #Java tutor at university in the 90s, authoring a book 20 years ago, delivering workshops for 2 decades, to being a technical coach using & promoting the latest Java features. Happy birthday! Here's to the next 30 years! dev.java/community/ja...

"Why do you like speaking at conferences?" 💡 It means ATTENDING conferences. Learning from other speakers. Connecting with like-minded people. It keeps my mind open for the day2day challenges at work. 📚 Preparing a talk means deeply immersing yourself in a topic. It's learning by teaching. (1/2)

A follow-up to @jcon.one – my two finds from the conference: 🃏 Commit Cards for cleaner code. Thank you @rabauer.bsky.social for bringing this to my attention! xdev.software/en/news/deta... 🤖 The session "Practical AI in Java" by @marcushellberg.dev. Most inspiring and motivating 😃 #JCON2025

On my way home after an amazing conference day at JCON EUROPE 2025 😊 Here are the slides for my session "Coaching Models for Technical Agile Coaching": thomas-much.de/presentation... Many thanks to the @jcon.one team for organizing this event! Looking forward to next year 😃 #Java #JCON2025

#InfoQ published my article about #FitnessFunctions 🤩 As writing isn't my easiest task, I'm really happy to have finished the text. Thanks to @benlinders.bsky.social for guiding me through the process & providing valuable feedback! What started as an interview turned into a full article. Thanks 😊🙏

. @swardley.bsky.social ’s keynote is live! Watch him explore strategy with Wardley Maps & AI at Agile Meets Architecture, connecting Sun Tzu & John Boyd on navigating change and uncertainty. Watch now on YouTube! youtu.be/hEjjCI3kTM4

No excuse anymore to not bump pipelines to #Java 24 with #JaCoCo 0.8.13 available. Nice.

Back home after a most amazing @amaconf.bsky.social 🤩. After two years as a speaker this time as an attendee – and it was absolutely worth it. So many inspirations from the sessions & the discussions inbetween 😊 It was great to meet you all (again) 🙏. See you next year! #amaberlin #ama2025

What a great closing for an amazing conference: Having dinner with @woodyzuill.bsky.social, who influenced my way of working and getting better together for almost 10 years now 🤩. I'm glad we finally met – thank you 🙏 #ama2025

Made my day: „We do SAFe, but we are agile“ 😅

Once again I've decided not to submit to a conference that requires recording of a promo video. I guess that's just not my style of preparing and submitting conference talks 🤷‍♂️ (Instead, I made progress writing an article about fitness functions, yay!)

Partial #Solar #Eclipse today (max. obscuration in #Hamburg was around 12:17 CET)
