It's easier to change software than to change people.

So the same devs who previously wouldn't write documentation are now out there writing skill.md files...?

Many developers care deeply about IDE performance, so we turned an internal post by Konstantin Nisht into a public one. It covers the architecture behind UI freezes in IntelliJ-based IDEs, what it took to move more work off the UI thread, and the results so far. blog.jetbrains.com/platform/202...

Use command completion (..) in @intellijidea.com to navigate your project. To be able to navigate from read-only files, open Settings | General | Code Completion and select Enable command completion for read-only files. ✅ #IntelliJIDEATips www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUvV...

If my LLM isn't telling me "You're absolutely right" all the time, should I be worried? 🤔 😜

We are still looking for your submissions to @dev2next.bsky.social , organised by @venkats.bsky.social in beautiful Colorado. Tracks: ✏️ Architecture 🔧 DevOps 🏄‍♀️ Agility 📈 Current trends ☀️ Polyglot programming 🪜 Leadership 🍀 Wealth and well-being CFP Deadline: April 24, 2026 www.dev2next.com/cfp

When @ddoutsiopoulos.bsky.social tells you to "go stand over there", you do it. No questions asked...

Happy @springio.net to all who celebrate! Please stop by the booth to see how @intellijidea.com can help make working with Spring easier and more fun. And don't forget to attend sessions by my colleagues @sivalabs.in @antonarhipov.bsky.social and @vadim-briliantov.bsky.social

AI is going just fine... Even my kids aren't that stubborn!

Use command completion (..) in @intellijidea.com to refactor and transform code. It offers all relevant actions to your context, so you can keep moving forward. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hmpp...

In "better late than never", I decided to write about @voxxedzurich.bsky.social maritvandijk.com/voxxed-days-...

Did you know that @intellijidea.com can tell you not only when you are using a vulnerable dependency, but also whether you are actually using the vulnerable part of that dependency? Read all about it on my blog: maritvandijk.com/vulnerable-a...

Tfw you're watching a colleague present during a meeting and their battery warning is giving you anxiety-by-proxy.. 😱

Me: What should I build with AI? @antonarhipov.bsky.social: Build some retro games! Me: Builds Tetris Also me: Proceeds to *play* Tetris

Spring Data JDBC brings out the best in #Kotlin. Constructor-based mapping keeps val fields truly immutable. Value classes map natively – no @Embedded, no extra setup. No proxies, no hidden state. Check it out 👇 jb.gg/agfdv4

This month, you can find me at the following conferences: Apr 21: JCON @jcon.one Apr 22: Devoxx France @devoxx.fr Apr 24: Devoxx Greece @devoxxgreece.bsky.social Apr 29: Voxxed Days Bucharest Will I see you there?

What does it really take to maintain open source in Java? Release automation, Maven vs Gradle, contributor chaos, and AI-generated PRs: @andresalmiray.com (Java Champion, creator of JReleaser) shares real lessons from the JVM ecosystem. 🎥 Watch now: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jts6...

If, like me, you have trouble remembering certain shortcuts in @intellijidea.com - now you can use command completion (..) instead. Use it for file level actions like Reformat code, Optimize imports, and more. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrMU...

Had an absolute blast at @amsterdam.voxxeddays.com last week: * speaking with @piotrprz.bsky.social * opening both days * being interviewed for @foojay.io podcast * meeting people in the hallway track

Java Annotated Monthly is here 🔥 This edition brings you @maritvandijk.bsky.social highlights on Java 26, along with fresh tips, insights, and must-know news from across the tech world. Catch up, stay sharp.

Early morning funny start at @amsterdam.voxxeddays.com by @maritvandijk.bsky.social and @koturk.nl 😆🤗!!!! #java #ai #cloud #community #conference

Robot arms with @iuliaferoli.com at @amsterdam.voxxeddays.com

Starting off @amsterdam.voxxeddays.com day 2 with keynote. The very cool @iuliaferoli.com on stage.

#2 I had also the chance to attend in person @piotrprz.bsky.social & @maritvandijk.bsky.social talk that I heard a lot about it ... I must admit it was the funniest talk so far 🤣 yet I learned a lot especially about Vector api 😬

Dear Participants of @amsterdam.voxxeddays.com! @maritvandijk.bsky.social and yours sincerely would love to thank you for vivid attendance and filling the room for our talk! Let's learn modern Java and other stuff the playfull way! 👩‍🔬👨‍🔬👩‍💻👨‍💻

Fave talk at @amsterdam.voxxeddays.com so far is "Learning Modern Java the Playful Way". It's not easy to give a team talk but @piotrprz.bsky.social and @maritvandijk.bsky.social made it look effortless with amazing stage chemistry and top notch content! Java is in fact fun and always evolving 🤩

Looks like I've picke the right room to start @amsterdam.voxxeddays.com with @maritvandijk.bsky.social & Michel opening 👍

Your #Kotlin persistence layer can be concise and clean. Entities, repositories, custom queries, data class DTOs – Spring Data JPA works smoothly when you know the setup. Check it out 👇 blog.jetbrains.com/idea/2026/03...

Had a great time speaking with @andresalmiray.com at @voxxedzurich.bsky.social last week about "Getting more out of Maven". Thanks @patbaumgartner.com and team for organising another great event! And thanks @ddoutsiopoulos.bsky.social for the amazing pictures! 🫶 #VDZ26

Ah, daylight saving time - all of the jetlag, none of the travel... 🤪

Hot take: #Java 26 has no new stable language features. But you still need to try it! Here's why 👇 jb.gg/avyjks

Tfw the new @intellijidea.com release comes out and your friends start sending you screenshots... 😂

Use @intellijidea.com command completion (dot-dot) to fix errors and warnings in your code. Command completion provides all available suggestions for your current content, right in the editor. #IntelliJIDEA #IntelliJIDEATips www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBNK...

Instead of using Alt+Enter to perform actions, like adding JavaDoc and converting it to Markdown, you can now use command completion (..). Command completion is as easy as adding a dot. Or two.. #IntelliJIDEATips

Today @intellijidea.com 2026.1 is out! We have new AI features, Java 26 support, new Kotlin, Spring and Spring Debugger features, Gradle best practices, Git worktrees and more: youtu.be/FVsMsCFtlOs?...

IntelliJ IDEA 2026.1 is out!

The IntelliJ IDEA 2026.1 release is here! Discover the latest updates, all explained and demoed on our What’s New page. Check it out 👇 www.jetbrains.com/idea/whatsnew/

Use command completion (..) to refactor your code, like extracting a method, without needing to know the shortcut. #IntelliJIDEATips

Post @voxxedzurich.bsky.social sillyness with @0.5ritter.de @patbaumgartner.com

No speaker? No problem. 📸 Swapping the lecture for a group selfie. #vdz26

#WorkingWhileOthersAreSnacking #VDZ26

And so @maritvandijk.bsky.social and I did a thing again with Maven and IntelliJ IDEA at @voxxedzurich.bsky.social #VDZ26

Bringing the band back together at #VDZ26 @maritvandijk.bsky.social @alina-yurenko.bsky.social

Why Voxxed Days Amsterdam is actually worth your time (as an engineer) 🤩 Rotating keynotes (live experience keynote), dedicated byte, deep dive, or conference sessions. And topics covering practical usage with code! See you soon (last tickets available). amsterdam.voxxeddays.com #vdams26 #java

Ready for @voxxedzurich.bsky.social 2026🤩 @maritvandijk.bsky.social and I have prepared a great session on Apache Maven and IntelliJ IDEA. See you in room 2

Happy to be a Voxxed Days Switzerland Champion this year. Thanks for having me @voxxedzurich.bsky.social @cern.voxxeddays.ch Voxxed Days Ticino!
