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...

My Moonlander Mark I keyboard I've had for 4+ years suddenly have a dead column (3,E,D,C,<) ... Now typing on my 26 year old Logitech iTouch Keyboard - everything works...but I have to keep my hands in middle ... will be interesting to see if my back/shoulder pain will return.

I wish I could start work in cursor locally on my laptop and then when I need to or feel like going on a walk or drive tell it to continue as agent in their cloud. Feels like should be possible but not finding it. Am I blind?

Quarkus continues to focus on native for swift start-up time and low memory footprint. Learn more in By Severin Gehwolf's blog post, "Continued Focus on Native" quarkus.io/blog/continu...

Spot on. Native image might not be perfect but it’s much easier to apply and make consistent across the broad use cases Java applies.

If you want to stay sane while using windows builders on github actions just always use gradle --no-daemon ... Don't tell me why I know - just know if I had just used gradle --no-daemon everywhere I would have slept much more the last few days

Maybe I’m being too naive here…but how is this different from number of users using goggle search ? Difference afaics is ChatGPT can detect it and actually counter it.

Got jbang native image build. Now starts allot of testing/verification. Don’t want to break users updating nor give up on jvm mode on platforms without native image.

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... .

AI converts @asciidoc.org to #markdown and vice-versa like a charm 🥂

Couldn’t resist…

Gotta give it to jetbrains - they are making me jealous of how compact their data dsls and comprehensions are compared to Java.

Saying AI will remove need for development teams is like saying no one needs a carpenter/tradesman since electric tools arrived. Do more with same; not same with less.

New bld Extension: JBang (via Erik's Weblog) I've released a new extension for bld… #java #buildsystem #productivity #build #bld #buildtool #programming erik.thauvin.net/blog/p...

I asked recently: "If you could boot up an online environment where you could share and run any java code and experiment and play with libraries would you use it ?" Well, here you go: www.jbang.dev/learn/java-i... tl;dr: jbang.dev/try

1.5 year wait is finally over. Danish made unfolded circle remote have arrived.

Late on this but great to see Cursor being public about their interest and support in our Java development tools work we’ve been working on for over a decade. Java is where AI agents want to be! cursor.com/blog/java

If you could boot up an online environment where you could share and run any java code and experiment and play with libraries would you use it ?

Another vc funded driven killing of a project in its move to product ?

After decades of wanting to set one up. I finally got a rack mounted home network setup. Wanted a video of blinking lights but instead I got eery audio that wasn't present when recording. Oh well :)

www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOA0... I have a problem...

I got nerd-sniped over the weekend. Made a java-fmt tool that in addition to make it super easy to format java code, is fast and work from anywhere - it also don't mess with jbang directives. www.jbang.dev/learn/introd...

Waking up: For once September 11th / my birthday won't be political... a few seconds later: ffs...

JBang release to make fish shell users happy. I'm one of those now.

Mise + Jitpack is quite powerful. Add a jitpack.yml and you can try out your maven artifacts from maven, gradle and of course jbang. jbang init -t setup-jitpack@maxandersen for getting the template, commit it and you can now share your maven artifacts easily without maven central.

I wanna know whoever implemented search on LinkedIn figured that a post about eggs and bacon is the top first result to show when searching for "mandelbrot javafx" ? And no, the results after also isn't related to javafx nor mandelbrot.

Pretty sure same was said about use of calculators, computers, typewriters, CAD, automobiles etc. All of these allowed less fortunate to participate in skillfull activities and those fortunate hated it. We shouldn't be alienating usage of AI; but educate on how to use it responsibly.

Manifest Tool by JBang www.jbang.dev/learn/manife...

Next release will come out with a bang! Better yet, a @jbang.dev! 🚀🧨

jbang init --java 25 now uses simple main by default!

spend waaay too long on realizing that for the new maven central deploy the "token" you generate is not the token you use...there are *two* steps to do. Step 1 is generate username and password Step 2 is the *actual* token

Starting soon :)

Had a fun conversation with Mark Sailes about my career in professional opensource - maybe you find some of it interesting too. And go subscribe give a like on Marks new channel! youtu.be/ePb9O9VDsVA

Exiting the Red Hat shell and going into the Big Blue. Tomorrow, most of Red Hat Middleware moves to IBM - hundreds of us with the same job, mission, and passion, just with a different badge.

Have some real-world anonymized clean data from JBang’s version checks (jbang.dev/usage). Looking for anyone who loves data viz, charts, or microsites and wants to contribute to open source! DM me or comment if you’d like a dataset to play with.

100% correct - it's a very slippery slope but it's no different than how does a C suite admin get access to your calendar/email and expenses? I expect on the fly limited virtual credit card be a thing. Time limited access keys Finer grained rbac Etc

Singapore - who told you about JBang in the last 24 hours? :)

Other big feature is the update to Hibernate 7 which provides a bunch of new features docs.jboss.org/hibernate/or... AND is available on Apache License now! It does has some removal of old session apis so check out github.com/quarkusio/qu...

Quarkus 3.24 is out, introducing Dev Assistant. It allows extensions to provide AI/LLM assisted features in devmode - it is only enabled if you add the Quarkus Chappie extension. See the video at quarkus.io/blog/quarkus...

Starting in 10 min - something different this time - Quarkus on JavaFX

Just listened to this gem. Packed with gold nugget advice from Sanne from his professional open-source career. Can’t believe it hasn’t gone viral yet. Listen, learn, and share if it resonates: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1nB...

Pop quiz - when you look at mail.openjdk.org/mailman/list... which list would you post for discussing jshell issues ?

MCP = Model Context Protocol. @marcnuri.com‬ (Red Hat) introduces how to turn LLMs into agents — with real server implementations in Java, Go, and JS. Catch it at #devbcn25 → buff.ly/nJ4atwl #AI #MCP #CloudNative

We just added a @jbang.dev catalog for Jython, thanks to @wfouche.bsky.social's initiative! As a result, running Jython scripts becomes even easier: jbang run jython-cli@jython <jython-script>.py or after install: jython-cli <jython-script>.py github.com/jython/jbang... #java #jython #jbang #jdk

I wonder how many will be left liking this 2 years from now. Pretty unique humor :)

JBang 0.126.3 has been released! https://github.com/jbangdev/jbang/releases/tag/v0.126.3
