I love these kinds of "here are the decisions we made that maybe weren't ideal, with the benefit of four years of hindsight" kinds of talks. (I already know this one is good, because I saw it at Devoxx.)

Built a fun real-time AI demo this week: Webcam → #JavaCV face detection → #LangChain4j multimodal emotion analysis → Live overlay in the browser. If you want to see how high-throughput video and low-latency AI actually work together, this tutorial walks through the full pipeline. buff.ly/Xa9Mwpa

Last trip of the year! (well sort of, since it's 3 trips in one to Melbourne, Brisbane and Sidney 😄). Looking forward to visiting the land down under at YOW! Conferences @yowconf.bsky.social 🇦🇺 😃. If you're based in #Australia be sure to let me know and hopefully see you at one of the venues!

Great moment with TAG DevEx leaders at KubeCon NA 2025!!! @kevindubois.com Graziano Casto

Hi everyone! An ongoing reorganization at my current employer has prompted me to seek for a new role and would appreciate your support. I'm open to remote (anywhere) and hybrid roles in Switzerland. I have 25+ years experience as a software developer, 8 as devrel www.linkedin.com/posts/aalmir...

Not the worst sunrise to get a busy day started at #KubeCon #CouldNativeCon co-located events day! Looking forward to my session with @csanchez.org about autonomous AI driven rollout fixes at #ArgoCon this afternoon. If you're around, make sure to stop by and say hi 😃. #Atlanta

I'm beyond excited that our book finished production and is available now on O'Reilly and as ebook on Amazon. The printed books will be available within the next few weeks! If you're looking for a Christmas gift, just saying 😉 www.oreilly.com/library/view... @natalevinto.bsky.social

Are we doing this right #Atlanta? Fried okra, fried green tomatos, fried chicken, PBRs and hot sauce 😄 #KubeCon #CloudNativeCon @csanchez.org

Weather forecast for #KubeCon in #Atlanta, look at Saturday vs Monday 😳. At least no snow like last year in SLC 😄

A smarter way to serve AI prompts from GitHub — powered by Java + Quarkus. This hands-on tutorial shows how to build a production-ready MCP Server that streams prompts to Claude and other LLMs with persistent caching and clean design. Read more ↓ 👉 buff.ly/20tUVkD #Quarkus #Java #AI #MCP

We are launching Quarkus public community calls! The first one will be on November 4th and we will talk about how to better support developing large applications with Quarkus. github.com/quarkusio/qu... .

Today during a podcast recording about Agentic AI I used the term "man in the middle" when I meant to say "human-in-the-loop". Same difference right? 😂

Let's learn how to create an A2A server agent and an A2A client that can communicate using the gRPC transport with "Getting Started with A2A Java SDK and gRPC" by Farah Juma. quarkus.io/blog/quarkus...

Frustrated that your AI assistant doesn't "get it"? Maybe you're not giving it a command, you're delegating a task. The secret is to stop prompting and start mentoring. This simple playbook I'm using is helping me to get better results from #AI: www.orpiske.net/2025/09/the-...

#LangChain4j 1.5.0 is out! 🎉 This release includes the #MCP registry client, enhancements to the #Agentic module, as well as improvements in multimodality and caching github.com/langchain4j/...

On my way to Brazil 🇧🇷 to attend #TDC Sao Paulo. I'll present a session on doing local development in the #AI era, and participate in a panel about... you guessed it, AI 😄. thedevconf.com/tdc/2025/sao...

🎤 Tonight at @bejug.bsky.social : @kevindubois.com kicks things off with a deep dive into AI agentic patterns using @langchain4j.dev 🤖

I'm speaking at the @bejug.bsky.social tonight about creating #AI infused apps with #Java and #Quarkus. If you're in #Belgium 🇧🇪 I'd love to see you there! Free entry, drinks and food! 😀 www.meetup.com/belgian-java...
