Dieses Wochenende tagt die AfD in Erfurt, Tausende wollen die Zufahrten blockieren. Der SPIEGEL hält dagegen: Wer einen Parteitag blockiert, schädigt die Demokratie. Ist das wirklich so? Lasst uns das mal näher anschauen. 🧵

Last year I wrote a little tool to manage redirects in my home lab. re-director.github.io Good news, it has been added to awesome-selfhosted: awesome-selfhosted.net#re-director

I got annoyed that I often left Claude stuck in the background while waiting for permissions so I've built an AI semaphore to notify me of its status:

Voxxed Days Luxembourg is proud to welcome Jens Knipper for the talk: "JavaScript? No. Java Scripts! - Scripting with Java"! Be sure to check the details on the schedule app: m.devoxx.com/events/voxxe... and favourite if you‘d like to see it! ⭐

If the Nobel committee won’t give Trump the Peace Prize for ending the most number of wars… maybe they’ll give it to him for ending one war the most number of times.

How does an AI model actually work? Our colleague @royvanrijn.com built "The Anatomy of an LLM". This is an interactive walk-through of tokens, vectors and attention. Read our latest Meet the Experts blog story at openvalue.blog/posts/2026/0...

For curious developers 🧠 I built "The Anatomy of an LLM", an interactive explainer showing how text becomes tokens, vectors, attention, transformer blocks, and finally generated text. www.royvanrijn.com/anatomy-of-a...

Just arrived at JCON Slovenia and MakeIT, where I will be presenting on how to use Java as a scripting language on Friday at 11:10 am. #java #jcon #makeit

Most job interviews happen in meeting rooms. Sascha Selzer's happened in the coffee corner of a conference. No pitch deck. No recruiters. Just a conversation. In our new "Meet the Experts" blog, Sascha shares his personal story as a software developer. 👇 openvalue.blog/posts/2026/0...

There are only a limited number of spots left for this OpenValue #Düsseldorf event - and it’s shaping up to be a valuable one. Two speakers: @jagovreede.bsky.social and me with two talks on #Quarkus and #Scripting with #Java www.meetup.com/openvalue-du...

New Foojay author Hector Ventura announces a fascination project: "Floci: A High-Performance, GraalVM-Powered AWS Emulator." It isn't just another wrapper but built using a modern Java stack (JAX-RS, Quarkus, Vert.x) and is compiled into a native binary using GraalVM. foojay.io/today/introd...

Last year I gave the talk "Demystifying Dependency Injection" at a few #Java conferences and Meetups ( #JconSlovenia, @javaforumnord.bsky.social, #JavaCro, @jugmuenster.bsky.social , @openvalue.eu ). I am now breaking that talk up into a series of articles. jensknipper.de/blog/demysti...

Our OpenValue Wrapped 2025 is here! How many cups of coffee? How many AI pair programming sessions? And did we deploy on Fridays? Watch the GIF to find out👉 #OpenValueWrapped #BetterSoftwareFaster

Is this cheese grater conscious? Many users feel they're talking to a real person. Scientists say it's time to consider whether they're onto something.

I recently updated my traefik-examples repo to the latest version of #traefik 3.5 - enjoy! github.com/JensKnipper/... I also updated the corresponding articles on my website: jensknipper.de

#JUnit has a new logo!!! 🚀 To everyone who submitted proposals and participated in the design discussions... Thank You! 👏🏼 github.com/junit-team/j...

Aus (immer noch) aktuellem Anlass…

Though I am home for a few weeks now and the daily grind has caught up, looking back to #JavaCro is still putting a big smile on my face. A really well run conference with inspiring talks in a unique location: an island before Rovinj.

Just a few more days to go and I will speak at #JavaCro about Dependency Injection. #Java

It's @devoxx.com week - time for our traditional Wednesday drinks! 🍺 Join the unofficial Devoxx afterparty on Oct 8, 20:00-23:00 at Café Bier Central, Antwerp. Hosted by your OpenValue friends. Everyone welcome - the more the merrier! Free Belgian beers and great conversations guaranteed! #devoxx

Oder so.

Last week I had the pleasure to speak at @javaforumnord.bsky.social about Dependency Injection. I showed why we want to use it, different injection types and how the wiring is solved. With that knowledge we were ably to demystify how DI is done by all the frameworks and learned how to do it manually

Just one more month to go until @javaforumnord.bsky.social
