Standardising project workflows is about more than just automation. It’s about reducing cognitive load and manual repetition. A look at how command runners (Just, Task, Mise, and more) help streamline environment setup and project orchestration: github.com/SimonVerhoev...

It's nice to read that Netflix Animation Studios is joining the Blender Development Fund as Corporate Patron. Blender is such an amazing piece of open-source software.

When you change open source, open source changes you. Make the change, and celebrate the change in you. #EclipseCollections #Java donraab.medium.com/the-ten-year...

Don't forget to reserve your spot for the annual Java Champions conference at www.eventbrite.com/e/jchampions... . This is a free, four-day event where we can learn from and interact with Java champions.

I hope everyone has a magnificent 2026.

Congratulations to the Spring team on the smooth release of version 7: spring.io/blog/2025/11...

It's always a treat to hear @mreinhold.org talk about the stewardship of Java given his 3 decades of experience. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ny4C...

@josepaumard.bsky.social just released the 300th #codingtip on the Java channel, please do yourself a favour and check out this shorts series with your own cup of coffee www.youtube.com/shorts/gGumO...

I strongly recommend watching the latest Marco show, which was hosted by @jetbrains.com where he interviews Gavin King, the creator of Hibernate, to gain some insights into its myths and ORMs in general.

There are certainly worse things to do after dinner than watch @venkats.bsky.social talk about OOP vs DOP on the CoffeeJUG channel: www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1E8...

#Java25 is releasing later today, and once again, we get some new treats. Let's take a look together: github.com/SimonVerhoev... .

For those using Spring Boot Modulith and @intellijidea.com please do yourself a favour and update to version 2025.2 as it contains some nice enhancements for us: www.jetbrains.com/idea/whatsne... .

What do Minecraft, credit cards, and NASA have in common? #Java – and it has just turned 30. To celebrate, we made a short video on how far it’s come and what happens when you run modern code on Java 1.0. Episode 1 is live 🎬 youtu.be/SB8WW-PGClE

Not that it wasn't important before, but with the rising usage of AI tools, I wonder how many developers are regretting creating semantic debt. For example, `i` over a meaningful variable name, magic numbers, et cetera.

It's great to see the strong focus on the onboarding process and listening to community feedback for the on-ramp features, as described in mail.openjdk.org/pipermail/am.... The static members not being "automagically" imported will certainly be clearer for beginners.

I love the message behind www.youtube.com/watch?v=clF2... . Certain experiences can truly impact your well-being long-term, and overcoming those can be a challenge. Please be compassionate to one another, not everybody was dealt the same hand.

I've been many times in Ukraine since Euromaïdan. Because of putin's brutal invasion of Ukraine, I couldn't visit my friends for 2 years. I'm extremely happy to announce that I'll visit the Coffee JUG in Lviv on January 25th! All information below 👇
