- Going faster with AI is safer than going slow with AI - Choosing to become a carpenter or open a bookshop is more productive than choosing to ignore AI and hope it goes away - Your expertise still matters; but you won't be able to rely only on that www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6p-...

“Java is the new Python” sounds wrong until you remove the ceremony. JBang + Java 21 finally give Java a scripting workflow without giving up types, concurrency, or performance. This isn’t a language war. It’s a tooling wake-up call. buff.ly/w8NTDTI #Java #JBang #DeveloperExperience #Programming

The use of chicory to have rust compiled to WASM and then available on the JVM so we get a nice and performant syntax highlighter accessible from Java 8+ is pretty damn awesome. Read all about it in Andrea Perfuffo's write up here chicory.dev/blog/syntax-...

Now tested with 50+ concurrent builds so you can build your AI agent army faster.

Scott Hanselman gives excellent explanation of what agents are. Emergent agency, illusion of sentience. Nothing without the loop - created and directed by human. These are tools. Can be used for good and bad things. One does not exclude the other. vm.tiktok.com/ZNRDaK8aS/

My recent Reddit/linkedin experience: “Java is only for enterprise Linux, don’t bother making it easier to use Windows — macOS is fine though.” If your definition of what is useful depends on your laptop brand, maybe the problem isn’t Java.

Its 2026 and two of the most popular dev tools in Java space: Gradle and IntelliJ has no way to run a main class with a working terminal. What’s up with that ?

“the US government, as of 2025, does not track how many citizens have been detained by immigration agents” …. Like - ignore wether you for or against it but why would this not be done unless you are after misleading the public ??

"AI amplifies people who knows what they are doing, potentially misleads those who don’t." Can not agree more - spot on. Good listen and made me try out cowork and damn its nice :) youtu.be/h7dbkDcb3hA?...

Open infrastructure is not free. And it’s starting to crack. Every pip install,, mvn install, gradle build, cargo build depends on shared infrastructure that is: - underfunded - overstretched - treated as “someone else’s problem”

January is not over yet. Second job posting for working on Quarkus is here. Specifically around AI observability. careers.ibm.com/en_US/career... The link stops working when queue full so be fast :) And yes, it’s in Ireland.

Hey claude code cli fans - am I doing something wrong or how to explain this? I use cursor / codex / openai constantly - never paid more than 15-20$ a month. claude code - rate limited within 30 minutes of use after paying 15-20$ going on subscription. ...how are you affording using this thing?

I must honestly say I lived most of my 50 or so years on this planet in peace and always wondered how citizen of countries being on edge of war must feel. I never thought it would be US that would teach me. youtube.com/shorts/7Vxor...

Just published a new article on using #Java for scripting ☕ If you’ve ever wanted to automate something quickly but didn’t feel like fighting with Bash or Python syntax… Java might be a better option than you think. Shebangs, single-file execution, @jbang.dev and more 👇 👉 tinyurl.com/h3xskenf

Its a new year - how about coming to work on the Quarkus team ? ibmglobal.avature.net/en_US/career... location: Dublin/Ireland

@hschreiber.bsky.social do you still work on japlscript? Got cli working and calendar bindings. Where to push it?

Robin Tegg wrote a few reasons to give @jbang.dev and @jreleaser.org a try for your next project. robintegg.com/2026/01/04/j...

🎯 2026: Let's make it the Year of Java in the Terminal xam.dk/blog/lets-ma...

JBang 0.135.1 release is out which is a bugfix release so I could make JBang based Homeassistant add-ons just work. Now...what would you build?

Please be AI please be AI … trump picks up medal in a weird but Trump normal way. Fuck. Not ai. How blatantly corrupt.

I was told to create a Bluesky account to talk about Javelit. Here you go.

This year’s JVM Programming Advent Calendar is open for business at https://www.javaadvent.c... Every day, a new post awaits. I enjoy this eclectic overview of what is new in the Java ecosystem.

I just completed "Secret Entrance" - Day 1 - Advent of Code 2025 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2025/day/1 Using LLM one shotted for both parts. Lets see how far I can go this way as I'm too busy spending the time needed as we get closer to xmas :)

Headline: "AI can replace 11.7% of workforce" Actual study: Anthropic paid MIT to use a "labor simulation tool" that said 11.7% of TASKS could be done by AI

Make pacman in terminal or anything else with Java? Everyone: ?! JBang: hold my drink...

JBang released with new features: Deps search, print main methods if none found, jdk exec and AI for init methods now works without preview and autodiscovery for openai, googleai, opencode and more. jbang init Tetris.java make a Tetris game github.com/jbangdev/jba...

One shot gpt-5.1 with upcoming jbang init AI customization. jbang gist.github.com/maxandersen/...

Passed over 500.000 version checks at jbang.dev/usage Doubled in less than 90 days. Happy Friday :)

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 ?
