Use jaz to launch your JVMs inside containers. Advanced tuning for most workloads. With jaz running Spring PetClinic, we got 7% more throughput, 13% reduction in average latency, and improved P95 latency by 10%. aka.ms/jaz #Java #Kubernetes

The Copilot SDK for Java now ships a Multi-Release JAR to use Virtual Threads by default when running on JDK 25. For 24 and older, it uses the ForkJoinPool.commonPool() , and also allows users to provide their own. Changes in the commit below: github.com/github/copil...

Maven Dependency Plugin 3.11.0 is out, and it adds something Java developers have wanted for a long time: Add a dependency from the command line. $ mvn dependency:add -Dgav=org.apache.commons:commons-lang3 No copy/paste XML required. maven.apache.org/plugins/mave... #Java #Maven

TOML Schema is live: toml-schema.org It is a TOML-native schema language for describing and validating TOML configuration files, using TOML syntax itself. The project started in 2020. Recent work added Java, Go, and Rust reference implementations, CI, and the new website.

There's now an official GitHub Codespaces template for #Java projects. github.com/github/java-...

Why is Claude Opus 4.6 getting dumber? #ModelQuantization may be the explanation. As Anthropic targets a new model launch, quantization helps reduce infra cost of AI models at the expense of quality and accuracy. This NVIDIA blog explains the concept: developer.nvidia.com/blog/model-q...

it was interesting to talk to @brunoborges.bsky.social about the state of coding assistants for Java; since it's the language that powers backend systems that enterprises are notably conservative about updating. If they could switch to being up to date by default, that's a big change in SDLs

"Claude Sonnet 4.6 paired with Rubber Duck running GPT-5.4 achieved a resolution rate approaching Claude Opus 4.6 running alone, closing 74.7% of the performance gap between Sonnet and Opus." This is the way. Multi-model! github.blog/ai-and-ml/gi...

If you want to learn AI, don't pay for AI courses. Apply for an MBA and use AI to get through it. And you get an accreditation that is somewhat respected in the job market. Learning by necessity beats learning by curriculum.

AI Agent Skills Marketplaces #XKCD

April 1st reliably exposes people who don't know the difference between sarcasm, a good joke, a bad joke, and a lie. Stating a fact that isn't true doesn't make it sarcasm or clever. At best it's a bad joke. At worst it's just a lie.

21 hours. #Chicago to #Toronto. By #train. That's longer than a flight from New York to London. The distance is just under 900 km. A journey that takes 4 hours in France, 5 in Japan... In North America takes nearly a full day here. Canada+US passenger rail is a joke. 🇨🇦🇺🇸🤡🚂

„Over the next couple of years, the most valuable people to have on a software team are going to be experienced folks who’re actively working to keep their heuristics fresh. Who can combine curiosity with experience.“ buff.ly/HYgxmFn #developer #leadership #AI

Not everything in our lives must be efficient. Learning is one of them. The trap is confusing efficient learning with effective learning. Be careful when using AI to learn.

When you write code, you review it as you write it. The two acts are inseparable. When using someone else's code, you extend some degree of trust because you know they did the same.

Open Source Foundations and group-led projects are more important than ever when anyone can build and publish a little tool/project/website. Collaboration and cooperation is what will give ideas continuity, now that kick off execution is so easy and fast.

It took humans less time to learn how to identify AI-generated text than to computers to learn how to write essays posed as human writers.

I updated my website at dlsc.com with Github Copilot. Basically one day of work. If I had a design I could have done it in an hour, but I was playing around with things. @brunoborges.bsky.social

Did some more evaluation of GitHub Copilot CLI today and built a nice launcher app for my #GemsFX open source project. The productivity I get out of this surpassed all my expectations. #javafx #java #ui #ux @brunoborges.bsky.social

"I ran out of AI tokens."

🚀 Copilot Java SDK v1.0.10 is out! ✅ Security: Jackson upgraded to patch DoS vuln ✅ session.setModel() + built-in tool overrides ✅ Deny-by-default permissions ✅ clone() on config classes ⚠️ Breaking: session permission API changes github.com/copilot-comm...

Despite LLMs being able to rewrite any software, the idea of writing reusable software remains an important goal: every time you rewrite software that already exists, you are wasting tokens on producing non-business value. Focus token usage on delivering value. Reuse software.

Sonnet 4.6 in a parallel agent fleet overnight is a different use case than single-session testing. I ran two controlled experiments - the model surprised me in unexpected ways. thoughts.jock.pl/p/sonnet-46-...

When you write open source software (with or without) AI, and shares it with the world, you are effectively helping other developers save tokens.

Funny, the #Copilot Coding Review agent provided feedback in Polish because the Pull Request is about translating from English to Polish. But the cool thing is that there is indeed a double *n* in the Polish word "rozszczepialnność" !!! It should be rozszczepialność. github.com/javaevolved/...

#FOSS remains well founded. What is not included are obligations to: - have comm channels - review issues submitted by others - review and accept/maintain contributions Ability to disable PRs is recognition maintainers deserve the right to not engage w/ users and still abide to principles of FOSS.

"Are we using AI for building Hardwood? Absolutely. Is Hardwood vibe-coded? Absolutely not." Coding agents are incredibly powerful, but they're no magic wand. Sharing some experiences with using AI for building a relatively low-level code base like a Parquet parser in the #Hardwood announcement 👇.
