Home after an incredible week at @devoxx.com. Such great deep dive sessions, insightful presentations and hallway conversations. 🤯 It was great to meet you again @marianne-h.bsky.social @maritvandijk.bsky.social @maswen.bsky.social @frankdelporte.be @lizeraes.bsky.social @glaforge.dev

Yesterday @garnier.wf taught us privately @devoxx.com how to make our login flow better between our JS UI and Spring Boot API with Spring Security. It works in our code Daniel! Thank you so much for your time. #Java #devlife

Today I am joining #TDC in Sao Paolo for the #AI & Emerging Tech track from my kitchen table. Thanks @brjavaman.bsky.social for the ticket! Happy to be part of the international track. #devlife

Well, I submitted to @nljug.bsky.social #JFall. 🤞 Only 30 minutes left for you to submit a proposal too! #devlife #Java #GenAI

On my way home after a day at #Hyland Tech Camp in Utrecht. It was great to see what we can do together with #AI in their Content Innovation Cloud #CIC. RAG, content enrichment, agents. Cool stuff. 🔥

Woohoo 🎉, I have a ticket for #DevoxxBE! 😅Looking forward to a week full of meeting people and great talks. See you in a few weeks in Antwerp! #devlife #Java

Just home from another inspiring meetup @openvalue.eu. Loved @balarawool.bsky.social examples that build up to a clear understanding of vector databases, RAG and embeddings. The book I recommended Bala is Unlocking Data With Generative AI and RAG by Keith Bourne from Packt. #devlife #java #RAG

GenAI + UI = ❤️ I'm diving headfirst into Gemini CLI to build something amazing. If you see this message, it works.😎 #AI #Gemini #Coding #devlife

I love how easy logging in with a passkey is. How long would it take to this being the standard? #passkey #lazy #devlife

Learned something today. Turns out that my approach of implementing multiple classes from an interface was begging for the Strategy pattern. And that Spring Boot makes it a breeze to buid this. 😎 #devlife #java #springboot

Overhauled my #PKM knowledge garden.🪴 I love my old tool, but I keep getting the impression that I lost notes somehow. So, I geeked out with #Obsidian in my backyard today.😎 I love the scripted creation of a note with Templater. Next 🎯, overhauling my business notes. #devlife

GitOps isn’t just a trend; it’s the backbone of trust in modern platform engineering. Combine it with supply chain security principles (SBOMs, provenance, sigstore) — and you’ve got auditable, repeatable, and secure-by-default platforms. Thank you @stevefenton.co.uk @adrianmouat.com and Nicki watt

Thanks for the photo of this moment powered by @brunosouza. Exciting to see that table filled with bad ass girl coders. We rock!

The mentorship hub at #JSpring is a great initiative. I loved how we could ask @maswen.bsky.social anything. You inspired me. Thank you for the encouragement. #devlife #java

Listening to @venkats.bsky.social on #IntelliJConf @intellijidea.com from home. I love in person meetups, but this nice for a change. Thanks @jetbrains.com ! #devlife #java

Another inspiring @utrechtjug.bsky.social meetup tonight. Learned about #ApacheFlink @gamussa.dev and @venkats.bsky.social told us about Gatherers. He warned us, “gain knowledge, but have the wisdom not to use all this knowledge”. #devlife #java

Great line up for #jetbrains #intellijIDEAConf. Looking forward to follow this conf from the comfort of my couch. ☕️🏡 #devlife #java lp.jetbrains.com/intellij-ide...

I am Remote-controlled dev. Unleash your inner Duke and win a limited-edition T-shirt! #Java30WithIntelliJIDEA www.jetbrains.com/lp/java-30/r...

Happy Birthday #Java 30! Thanks @intellijidea.com @maritvandijk.bsky.social #devlife

On my way home after another great meetup of #AmsterdamJUG. Nice people, good food, inspiring speakers. An evening well spend. Thanks 🙏 @amsterdamjug.bsky.social, @maritvandijk.bsky.social @coduinix.bsky.social #JeffreyJanssen! #devlife

@starbuxman.joshlong.com what happend to your voice on the Wiremock edition of the podcast on Spotify? It sounded lower. I checked, the speed in the app was the normal 1x. It sounded slower somehow.

On my way home from #Voxxed Amsterdam. Exhausted but thrilled about the great day I had. Informative presentations, meeting people, talking with speakers, being interviewed by @foojay.io and again a list of things to try out myself. #devlife #java #ai #rag #quantum

#Voxxed Amsterdam is unleashed. The organisers thanked the community reviewers for ranking the presentation proposals. You’re welcome! It was fun and informative. #devlife #Java #AI #RAG

Found a nice place in room 1 at #voxxed Amsterdam. Looking forward to a day full of AI, #Java and other cool stuff. #devlife

Crafting READMEs for AI

I haven’t use Skype for years, but I get nostalgic hearing the news that it is finally killed off. What a revelation it was about 20 years ago, to be able to make a call over the internet with video and not having to pay per minute. I spent many hours on Skype working with a friend from home. RIP

Boeiende Spring Modulith workshop bij SVB meetup via @nljug.bsky.social. De opdracht dwong je om goed in de code te duiken en zo het eventsysteem en het voorkomen van circular dependencies echt te begrijpen. Bedankt @jonathan-dev.bsky.social !

I bought my early bird ticket to @amsterdam.voxxeddays.com ! 🥳 Looking forward to the first edition in Amsterdam with the #Java community. Hopefully the cool #RAG and #softwarearchitecture talks appear on the schedule. 🤞 #devlife #braincandy

Fed up with Meta? Avoiding Instagram or Facebook isn’t enough to stop Meta from harvesting and profiting from your private information. Here’s how to limit Meta’s ability to monetize your personal data.

Which macOS client do you use for Bluesky? 🦋

vanaf a.s. donderdag (12 dec) gaat de zon elke dag weer steeds iets later onder 🙂👍🏼🌞. tot 21 dec worden de dagen idd nog steeds iets korter, maar dat komt omdat de zon elke ochtend nog steeds een flink aantal minuten later opkomt. meer info: www.allesoversterrenkunde.nl/actueel/arti... (foto: wiki)

I learned more about Spring Modulith and OpenTelemetry at the @openvalue.eu Utrecht meetup today. Thanks 🙏 @ceesbos.nl and Jos Roseboom and the organisers.

Did you know there’s a site to search for starter packs of people to follow? Built by @mubashariqbal.com blueskydirectory.com/starter-pack...

Just wondering, what is a message called here on Bluesky? Tweet, wing? 🤔

I created a starter pack for Cloud Native projects. While we're all mostly here to follow people, I'd like to encourage all the @cncf.bsky.social projects (and related) to set up BSky accounts. Let me know any I'm missing and I'll add them to the starter pack! go.bsky.app/GbZUjph

Back in room 8 again at #jfall. Memories of the thrill of my presentation of last year are coming back. This time I can sit back and relax. #Java #devlife

Had a great #jfall pre-conference day today with #Java masterclass by #Venkat Subramaniam. Impressed by his presentation and had fun with the engaging hands-on labs. Thanks 🙏 #devlife #braincandy #nljug
