“When you build your own harness, even a modest one, you develop a real feel for the features and trade-offs that larger tools make on your behalf. You know what they’re choosing to hide from you and why.” robintegg.com/2026/04/05/m...

Want to build your own AI tools on top of your GitHub Copilot license? The Java Copilot SDK lets you drive Copilot from Java. Use sessions, prompts, agentic workflows. No extra API keys needed. #java robintegg.com/2026/03/26/g...

JavaFX is back — now part of the Java Verified Portfolio. Proper support again across Java versions. Big for desktop apps. Modern Java can do way more than people think — even AI and full stack with fewer moving parts. Also: great hallway track, Brian Goetz, Stuart Marks, and Duke 🙂

You fixed it. The AI did it again next session. You learned. The AI didn't. Close the loop 👇 robintegg.com/2026/03/14/a... #Java #GitHubCopilot #ArchUnit

AI lowers the floor, not the ceiling. It made starting yorkshiregolf.life easy. Finishing it? That was still on me. Don't confuse a one-shot prototype with a finished product. The mindset to ship is still yours to find. Site's live. Go have a look 🏌️ #Yorkshire #Golf #AI

Sharing a video that resonates with me little. My own thoughts bounce between are we just going to be machine operators and others still need help to extract the value in ai so there’s still a place for us. Who knows? x.com/atmoio/statu...

The Java UI space is way more active than people give it credit for — and the community response to my recent post proved it. So I've built a home for those conversations: awesome-java-ui.com 50+ frameworks, open source, community-driven. Share what you’re building? 👇 #Java #JavaDev #OpenSource

Beware !!! Despite a positive intro, within minutes of giving Claude this prompt it had me questioning whether I had any software engineering skills at all 😭 😭

Looking forward to trying out GitHub’s agentic workflows. The feature usefully lowers the bar to defining and deploying automated jobs for your repo. github.blog/ai-and-ml/au...

Here is the new #JavaFX #LinksOfTheWeek, published on www.jfx-central.com/links. Thanks to @dlemmermann.bsky.social @frankdelporte.be #BeagleBoard @robintegg.bsky.social Artur Skowroński Happy reading, and have a lovely #Java weekend!

"Java offers a fully modern, end-to-end alternative — desktop, web, terminal, and even mobile apps — all powered by a single language. With one cohesive Java stack, teams and AI tools can reason, build, and iterate more efficiently than ever." #java #ui robintegg.com/2026/02/08/j...

I’d not had a reason to look at the Telegram platform up until recently - bc. openclaw. So many well thought out features for users and developer 💥 such a quick onboarding process to see messages flow. rubenlagus.github.io/TelegramBots... #java #ai #assistant

Yeah. Think I’m in the middle too. Perhaps I need to build my own custom ai tooling youtu.be/ws9zR-UzwTE?...

I’m trying real hard to get coding agents into my workflow but I’m hitting a wall at the moment. Watching console text flying past is engaging me. Relatable?

If you've discovered "AI" works better on smaller teams working in rapid feedback loops with continuous testing, code review and integration, what you've *actually* discovered is that smaller teams working in rapid feedback loops with continuous testing, code review and integration work better.

I've finally got round (thanks copliot) to adding a new addition to my site: a Feeds page that lists the RSS feeds I'm currently subscribed to. It's a simple, searchable collection of blogs, news sites, and resources that I find valuable. robintegg.com/2026/01/17/i...

Tech podcasts are booming across audio & YouTube—but keeping up is tough. I’ve had to cut back, focus on what’s most valuable right now, and accept I can’t listen to everything. How do you manage? 2x speed, strict curation, skipping episodes? This is my 2026 list. #java robintegg.com/2026/01/10/p...

Java Ninja? I’ll take it 🥷

xam.dk/blog/lets-ma... - Yes, It should be. Let’s spread the word.

In the limited time spent with AI coding agents so far I would agree with this. I’ve got the most accurate and largest change sets into codebases that share both front end and backend. In my cases using SSR with Spring Boot and thymeleaf or j2html
