OpenAI Codex is now integrated directly in VS Code through the new Agent Sessions view - and can be powered by your GitHub Copilot subscription. Try it out now with VS Code Insiders and a Copilot Pro+ subscription. Happy coding!

Here's a short video on how to leverage VS Code features for proper context engineering in your projects. youtube.com/watch?v=kSEl...

"#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...

Man, I love Agentic AI for dealing with Maven projects. The combination of convention over configuration, well structured and documented XML files, decades of history, and LLMs, make Agentic AI the perfect tool for maintaining Maven pom.xml files.

@spoole167.bsky.social And I are back with the 10x Insights podcast! Kicking this season off, we are speaking with the one and only @brunoborges.bsky.social about #vibecoding Tune in 👉https://open.spotify.com/episode/1tFRj5Ud5F5uVNzUeAVFWL?si=hjsF_7YFTlWtDPQKeacIhw

I can now run HelloFX on an iPhone. This required only really minor changes to OpenJFX and OpenJDK, and I'll update github.com/openjdk-mobi... as soon as I find some time. Most of the work (> 99%) went into understanding the tons of options in XCode. (1/2)

Microsoft Build of #OpenJDK for #Java 25 is here! ✅ Compact source files & instance main ✅ Flexible constructors ✅ Scoped values ✅ Module import declarations ✅ Built-in key derivation Read the full blog 👇 🔗 devblogs.microsoft.com/java/microso... #Java #OpenJDK #Java25 #Microsoft #Azure

GitHub #Copilot Instructions for #Java Upgrades, based on actual @openjdk.org JEPs. Instructions themselves were produced by Copilot, based on the content of the JEPs. It comes with instructions for: * 11 -> 17 * 17 -> 21 * 21 -> 25 github.com/brunoborges/...

#Java25 is here, but many apps are still stuck on Java 11 or even 8. We just launched GitHub Copilot App Modernization for #Java. An AI-powered way to assess, upgrade & modernize faster, combined with #OpenRewrite for predictable high scale refactoring. github.blog/ai-and-ml/gi...

This week, @Microsoft and @AkamasLabs will be together talking about #Java on #Kubernetes and everything you can do to run more efficiently. You can find the link to register for the Live Free Event on this survey form: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... Oh and yeah, please answer it! 😂

Worry less about which model to use. Let VS Code and GitHub Copilot choose for you.

Runtime Library Intelligence for Production JVMs. Introducing JLib Inspector 1.0.0! Inspect loaded JARs, unloaded JARs, their manifests, and.... Bonus: JVM details dump! brunoborges.github.io/jlib-inspect...

It's 2025 folks... Stop using "JAVA_OPTS" which requires shell expansion in the command line, as the JVM doesn't read it at all. Instead, use JDK_JAVA_OPTIONS in your Dockerfiles and Kubernetes deployment descriptors. m2c

Hey all, Excited to share I will be speaking (and attending) IBM TechXchange, in Orlando, next month. Come join me to learn about Java App Modernization, and Java on Kubernetes. Two of my most favorite topics! (if you want to attend, I may have tickets to share. DM me)

VS @Code Dev Days is coming to Vancouver, BC. Stay tuned and save the date: October 2nd, at our @Microsoft Canada office.

Recently I spoke at The Forward Slash podcast. I believe software architecture principles are more important than ever, and platforms must properly guide users to implement them. I'd love to get your comments and thoughts! #VibeCode #AI #Programming open.spotify.com/episode/4Bof...

It is 2025 and the best way to track which class version a particular JDK installation has, is by running echo 'class T {}' > t.java javac t.java javap -verbose T | grep "major version"

Are people using #Maven's Toolchain feature for handling multiple JDKs? I've been, and it works really well! maven.apache.org/guides/mini/...

Model Context Protocol is essential knowledge for every AI developer that wants to enable modular, composable model-based apps Don’t miss this session - July 15th at 09:00 PT !👇

After playing with the "official" MCP SDK for Java, and Quarkus and LangChain4J, I gotta say, I miss the JCP and Java Specifications.

Learn how to build an MCP Server and an MCP Client in #Java. Join me & @sandraahlgrimm.bsky.social this July 15th at 09:00 PT to get a glimpse of #MCP and demos that (hopefully!) will work fine, and give you a lift on building your own! Hit "Notify me" on YouTube! www.youtube.com/watch?v=xek_...

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.

Hey my fellow Canadians!🇨🇦 Some ideas we can use to show our patriotism: 📏 Use metric system only. ⏰ Say “14:00” instead of “2pm”. 🌡️ Stop measuring temps in Fahrenheit. 📅 And for maple’s sake, let's write dates like it’s not a puzzle: 2025-07-09 or 09/07/2025. Let’s leave imperialism in history. 😏

"GitHub CEO says the ‘smartest’ companies will hire more software engineers, not less, as AI develops" Meaning, what can now be created by one developer with the help of AI tools, needs to be maintained by even more developers ;) medium.com/@kt149/githu...

The owner of the place my kids go to for martial arts, built an app using #AI #VibeCoding. He had no clue what he was doing. I was able to extract all parents and children data, including children photos. This is the proof that Software Engineer demand will go up, not down.

The irony is that the #Java Security Manager would potentially help protect users if properly redesigned, for giving specific permissions for Java based #MCP Servers. 😬😬
