J’enchaîne avec « Les meilleures excuses pour ne pas adopter Quarkus » par @julien.ponge.org

Des démos qui me parlent 💞

Day 1 at @volcampio.bsky.social and also first time speaking as a @java-champions.bsky.social 😎

I find it amusing how modern JavaScript and plain built-in browser APIs are already compelling. I’m not saying React is useless, but you don’t always need to go that far.

May the demo gods be with me. I think I'm an AI expert now. Powered by Quarkus, Langchain4J, Ollama, llama3.1 and even some function call magic.

I just discovered you could type LaTeX in MS Word equations 😱

The other day I saw a devrel from the Java team at Oracle use `oha` for load testing: github.com/hatoo/oha Fancy tool, with an animated terminal UI, and of course, written in Rust, because, ... well. (1/2)

Hey @developers.google.com, you're making me cope with this annoyance with alarming frequency. You know and I know that uBlock Origin is the single most useful Chrome extension ever written. When I can no longer use it, I'll no longer use Chrome.

I used to enjoy reading the DHH of many years ago, when he had hot takes and out of the box thinking on software development practices and business. The DHH of today… well, no thank you.

(comic) Deal or No Deal

For my keynote with @sannegrinovero.bsky.social from at www.redhat.com/en/events/de..., I am experimenting with @graalvm.org native image, @kotlinlang.org, and @quarkus.io and it works great! Instant startup, low memory footprint, and high throughput. Check it out here: github.com/thomaswue/na...

It's a pro con

I wanted to update my employment information on my Jekyll-based website, but I'm struggling with my project Ruby setup. I might as well finally make the plunge to Hugo. Any tips?

End of an era. Thanks Red Hat for these great years! Looking forward to starting at IBM on Monday! (and no, I won’t stop making jokes about jsonx)

uBlock Origin Lite might bring me back to Safari.

As a JUG leader, I sure hope in-person events aren't dying off, but it sure seems like it's getting harder and harder to keep this all going. www.brentozar.com/archive/2025...

Wishlist for the next few months: grab an Ableton license and get back into electronic music experiments 😇

This is my last week as a Red Hat employee. Very happy to have been part of it!

Does anyone have good Outlook productivity tips? (for work / corp email obviously)

"Day Off" 🫠

Seriously someone should look into this

Too soon?

Many Linux users have recently reported their fans running at full speed and high temperatures. They discovered that Firefox was consuming all CPU cores, and it turns out that the cause was Firefox's new default AI features. This is how you ruin your product 😅 www.theregister.com/2025/08/13/f...

Deux salles, deux ambiances :

Something Apple is doing much better than the classic watch industry: straps, bracelets adjustability. It’s easy to get a perfect fit with an Apple Watch, but for a classic mechanical watch it’s damn much harder especially when you’re between sizes.

When people explain me that Reactive Streams is the standard, and not java.util.concurrent.Flow, well... github.com/reactive-str... Reactive Streams as a project is dead folks. No one maintains it, and no one is even able to make any release (see github.com/reactive-str...). Get over it.

Already an iCloud+ customer, I’ve tried moving my personal email here. 5 minutes DNS change. Archives transfer over IMAP. A week in and I have no complaints, seems good enough for what I need, I’m likely going to keep it. The only real issue is the iCloud mail UI which is very basic (when I need it)

Building an #MCP Server with #Quarkus is a joy. From Quarkus CLI to GitHub Copilot Chat saying "build me an MCP server for <use case>". It just works.

50-60k lines and nothing works? wtf? I would literally kill to look at this. lmao. #ai #vibecoding

Unpopular opinion: Go is the only mainstream programming language with a good set of user-friendly concurrency primitives. Other languages basically solve the async/await case, but fail short for async streaming (aka any reduced producer/consumer scenario).

Anthropic put Claude in charge of running a single vending machine business. It failed. My takeaways: - LLMs are kind and want to be of service, - LLMs are naive and do not understand deviousness, - Once they start hallucinating, their context is polluted and they wander in alternate realities.

What's this? An abstract syntax tree? A bytecode? What does that even mean anymore? Next Wednesday, Octave is going to explore those questions in his ICOOOLPS presentation. Our draft paper is online already: 2025.ecoop.org/details/ICOO... #interpreter #design #tradeoffs
