Tired of wrestling with YAML files? @brunoborges.bsky.social shows how natural language can automate your repository workflows, avoidingendless configuration syntax. foojay.io/today/stop-w... #DevTools #Automation #Java

What has not changed: - Software remains a need. - System architecture remains foundational. What has changed: - Code became a commodity. - SDLC became agentic.

Stop writing #YAML. Start using natural language for @github.com Actions! Watch me and @cassidoo.co deep dive into #AgenticWorkflows in this week' s Rubber Duck Thursday, to learn how to safely automate repo tasks without risk of prompt injections. www.youtube.com/live/Dw2S-VQ...

My new keyboard has arrived.

One thing people are not talking about enough is Switching Cost in this battle between Anthropic and OpenAI. The S.C. is ZERO. People will choose whatever model is better and cheaper.

AI agents can now step through code with real debuggers instead of relying on logs. @brunoborges.bsky.social shows how this changes debugging workflows and makes AI coding assistants more effective. foojay.io/today/enabli... #Java #AI #Debugging

CICD platforms (e.g. GitHub Actions) have a billing based on hours running tasks. Consider using anything other than Python (unless you optimized with CPython!). Here is how I am running @jbangdev in the #JavaEvolved website: github.com/javaevolved/... Also, benchmark!

JDK has a CLI debugger; AI agents have terminal access. Why are they still debugging with println? Let agents set breakpoints, step through code, inspect variables, catch exceptions. No logging/compile. Just a real debugger. brunocborges.substack.com/p/enabling-ai-agents-to-use-a-real #Java #AI

I'd appreciate if coding agents would have a system instruction for preventing people from reinventing the wheel. Like, "do you really want to build this thing instead of just reusing project <insert open source tool the dev didn't know existed and was too lazy to search>?"

"#Java has maintained relevance through all of the waves that we’ve seen over the last couple of decades – it is the exemplar of a general purpose programming language and runtime." -- James Governor (@monkchips.bsky.social), @redmonk.com Shout out to Rod Johnson too redmonk.com/jgovernor/ja...

Trip to Brazil ending, and now at the airport. Just saw someone with Microsoft Word opened, writing a document word by word, letter by letter, without using AI.... Like a sociopath.

Today at Microsoft Brasil 🇧🇷 we welcomed a great set of customers who are heavily engaged in developer productivity. So, of course we talked GitHub Copilot. Also, a Commodore! Reminded me of @scott.hanselman.com's TED Talk.

I started a thing (with Copilot). It is called jdx, a command-line tool that helps you manage your JDKs. No, it won't install/remove/etc, that's up to you however you want. But it will help you activate a JDK globally and locally, by using Maven/Gradle features. github.com/brunoborges/...

Everything is fine...
