On our way to @amsterdam.voxxeddays.com. You can find us in the JUG Square. See you at the hallway track 😉

Well, my #Java journey has come to an end. Today my role at Oracle has been terminated. I’m open to any job leads y’all may have.

Once again, going to @devoxx.uk has helped me work better. I needed some test data for an application for a customer, and remembered @jaapcoomans.nl's talk on DataFaker www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lKz... Result? A delighted customer and a happy developer :)

JUnit is undoubtedly one of the most important projects in the #Java ecosystem. And it's 100% free and open! Let me be frank: If we can't get THIS project to the point where a single maintainer can focus on it, then what does that say about our commitment to Free & Open Source Software? 1/3 ⏩

Today we experienced the power of the #Java #Community Within 2 hours after one of our speakers had to cancel we found a great new speaker for this meetup. And even more were willing to step up. A big shout-out to the community!

Just 4 days until our next Meetup! This time Sioux will be hosting us in their Eindhoven office. 🗣️ @marianne-h.bsky.social - Unveiling the simple math that powers AI 🗣️ @josroseboom.bsky.social - When ORM becomes OMG: Performance Pitfalls in JPA and Friends www.meetup.com/brabant-jug/...

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...

We're present at the community hub at @nljug.bsky.social #JFall today together with a lot of other friendly local JUGs. Come have a chat

Ready for #JFall to start!

Starting the day with a crime scene investigation... Who killed Duke? #JFall

Primary reason for visiting #Devoxx whenever I can: Ask The Architects. Rarely enter with a specific question. Always walk out with tons of new insights. #askarch

You know @devoxx.com has started when you're having Koffiekoeken in the morning. #Devoxx

JavaLand 2025 was a blast! 🚀 Miriam & I talked OpenAPI & RESTful APIs. Shout-out to @jaapcoomans.nl for a great talk on contract-first API testing with Quarkus – awesome demo of real dev enablement! 💥

Thanks to those at @javaland.bsky.social who attended my session. The demo code and the slides are on github: github.com/jaapcoomans/...

Good morning @javaland.bsky.social Ready for some early morning testing? I will be speaking about contract-first API testing with Quarkus in room Bergwerk at 09:00. See you there?

Nice passionate story about the Lukashian Calendar by Gert-Jan Schouten. Nice to be in a room full of calendar geeks. #JavaLand

Nice to be back at #JavaLand. First time for me at the Nürburgring. #Jatumba

Had a blast at mini.CONF Episode X tonight. Fun topics, great conversations and good food. #KENNIS #group9

Waiting for the mini.CONF keynote to start.

Getting ready for mini.CONF, our yearly #group9 conference. This year marks the 10th edition 🎉 with some great external speakers! @jqno.nl, @timtebeek.github.io and @rijosam.com will be speaking tonight.

That's a first... Received an email with a PowerPoint attached with a single slide in A4 paper size that contains a letter. If only a tool existed for sending digital letters...

Tomorrow I'll give a sneak preview of my #javaone talk about native multiplatform in Java at the @brabantjug.nl also @andresalmiray.com will be there taking about Going beyond ORMs www.meetup.com/nl-NL/braban...

We are making some changes to our @nljug.bsky.social J-Spring conference. For starters, the CFP is open. Read the instructions and submit your talk.

Our next meetup will be on 25 February at the WAES office in Eindhoven. We have 2 great speakers with awesome stories: @andresalmiray.com Going Beyond ORMs @jagovreede.bsky.social Building a multiplatform SDKMAN in JavaFX Register now to join www.meetup.com/nl-NL/braban...

Our next speaker of today is @rijosam.com speaking about the lessons learned from a global team.

Right before the break our special guest @koturk.nl tells us about @amsterdam.voxxeddays.com

And we're off with the first session by Dirk Janssen.

In the Netherlands 29 November marks the day of Sint Pannekoek (Saint Pancake) I wish you all a happy and blessed Saint Pancake.

Just a little less than 2 weeks until our next meetup on 11 December at Ilionx in Den Bosch. Our speakers: @rijosam.bsky.social: Tulips to Turmeric: Lessons Learned from a Global Team Dirk Janssen: Application Life Cycle Management with 400+ interfaces www.meetup.com/brabant-jug/...

IMO terrible practice to introduce this as opt-out. Especially in a minor release. Our firewall has our back, but if this is #liquibase ethics to push FOSS users into a paid plan then I'll gladly reconsider using the tool at all.

Remember, remember, the 13th of November (2006). Thanks @sharatchander.bsky.social #JFall

@tcoolsit.bsky.social braving the keynote at #JFall

First conference visit after a year of other priorities. Excited to be back 🤩 #jfall

Unfortunately no @javazone.bsky.social for me this year. To manage my fomo I showed my kids the Oslo Spektrum this summer.

I feel like I won the lottery! 🥳 Because well... I actually DID win the lottery! The prize? The right to purchase a @devoxx.bsky.social ticket! 🥳🥳🥳

Using the bird app on my Android device kills my Mastodon and BlueSky feeds too. Guess it's eating up a lot of resources in the background while DDoS-ing itself because of the rate limit? No longer dare to touch it...
