@venkats.bsky.social 's take on. Alternative Information (AI). #JavaLand #Keynote #AI

Just attended an entertaining keynote by Venkat Subramaniam at #JavaLand 2026 in Europa-Park. His central message: every major innovation initially feels disruptive, yet the real challenge is not resisting it - but learning how to ride the wave. And AI has (also) been trained on bad code. 🥸

Challenge für #JavaLand: Wer schafft es zuerst sich durch alle Eissorten zu probieren ohne Bauchweh zu bekommen? Caramel Popcorn ist jedenfalls schonmal eine klare Empfehlung von mir.

A lot of full session rooms at the beginning of #JavaLand 2026! 😲 That is crazy, guys!
