At @Jfokus, @brjavaman is inspiring an entire room of attendees by presenting 5 paths for developers to grow beyond senior levels. Funny how most employers just present a single one: management. They must have missed the other 4! ☺️

Thanks to @Sharat_Chander and the entire Java DevRel team at @Oracle for their very thoughtful holiday season card! Always good to have an extra Duke to look at while working from home. 😊

Thanks to @jetbrains for renewing my JetBrains All Products subscription for another year. 🙏 I love how supportive you folks are of the Java Champions program! 😊

Looks like I'll be returning to @Devoxx this year with a BOF session aimed at teachers! Looking forward to delivering a fun and interactive session with @PimTegelaar.

I'm entering my second year as an Oracle ACE Pro! ♠️ Honoured to be recognised once again, and looking forward to a new year of community contributions. @oracleace #Java

After @jcon_conference had ended (thanks to Richard F. and team for an amazing event!) I was ready to sit in a corner and cry my eyes out. But then I found a brand-new edition of @JavaMagazineNL on my doormat. 🤩 What a perfect way to counter the post-conference blues!

Why *type* the words “public static void main”, when you can also *sing* them? At #JCON, @MaritvanDijk77 and me will host a pop quiz using 18 songs that will work with “public static void main” as the lyrics. Come join this very interactive musical talk at 12:55 in Cinema 6! 🎸🎤

@Sharat_Chander @mthmulders @ApeldoornJUG

Just got home from another memorable edition of @JavaLandConf, and it's already time for the next conference! 🥳 I'll speak at @VoxxedAmsterdam tomorrow, on structured concurrency and scoped values in #Java - looking forward!

Looking forward to premiering my new talk "From Zero to Secured: Live-Coding a Full-Stack Jakarta EE REST App with MicroProfile and JWT Authentication" at @JavaLandConf next week! #Java #Community #Jatumba my.doag.org/events/javalan…

"I knew we should've checked the schedule! Next time, we should just walk."

Tomorrow at 9AM EST / 15:00 CET I'll be kicking off @JChampionsConf by talking about the latest concurrency features in #Java: #StructuredConcurrency and #ScopedValues! Free tickets 🎟️ are still available - hope to see you there! jchampionsconf.com

Programming languages that have actual mascots.

- #Java (has "Duke")
- #Dart (has "Dash")
- #PHP (has "elePHPant")
- #Rust (has "Ferris")
- #Go (has "Gopher")
- #Kotlin (has "Kodee")

Which mascots am I missing?

Even though @TCoolsIT doesn't work at Info Support any more, I'm still reminded of him often. 😊 📸 #FondMemories

Oh hello there @wimdeblauwe! Fancy running into you here at @InfoSupportBV!

(just kidding, he was here to teach us about #Thymeleaf and #htmx, and it was AMAZING)

Some of my best memories of 2024 were made at these fantastic tech conferences! Thank you for the opportunity to speak - @Jfokus, @devnexus, @DevoxxUK, @jcon_conference, @AmsterdamJug, @Spacerockitfest, Trailblazers, @Devoxx, @jfallconf, #SNiCSustainabilIT 🙏

Teaching a course on #JakartaEE this week, and this time I had a very convenient way of introducing myself as a teacher: the official Jakarta EE Bluesky account is following me. 😆

Went skiing ⛷️ with my kids this weekend in one of those indoor ski halls. Got eliminated from #Whamageddon in the process... 😐

I had a blast at SNiC #SustainabilIT, speaking about #VersionControl in front of 750+ attendees. Fantastic audience, great interaction. And look what a pretty room they gave me! Also: a private dressing room! 😱 🤩 (slide deck is at hanno.codes/slides/will-gi…)

I don’t go out for fast food often, but when I do I appreciate getting a good table number. 🤭

@GeertjanW @jfallconf @ixchelruiz @aalmiray @herminedeurloo Love the new look @GeertjanW!

Hey @BoukeNijhuis, I think I've found your next profile pic! 💪 #Devoxx (📸@dDoutsiopoulos)

@mthmulders @jfallconf

Last week I gave a Deep-Dive talk at #Devoxx called "Java's Concurrency Journey Continues! Exploring Structured Concurrency and Scoped Values". Over 250 people attended it, and if you missed it you can now watch the recording on YouTube! ⤵️ youtu.be/0siacvqx5UE

@TimteBeek @alina_yurenko @MaritvanDijk77 @kehrlann @ammbra1508 @aalmiray @TCoolsIT

I had an absolute blast at #Devoxx last week! Feeling inspired after seeing so many incredible talks, and happy to have reconnected with old friends and to have made a few new ones. Let's do that again, hopefully soon! #Java #Community

@lovelacecoding @MaritvanDijk77 @mthmulders I don’t have that mug, but I do have this! #RotterdamPride

Thank you @SessionizeCom for letting me be 'Speaker of the day' today! 🙂

Tom is doing an excellent job leading the official #Devoxx city tour! @TCoolsIT @alina_yurenko @alex90_ch @faermanj @JohanHutting @sKriemhild @jeannestockholm @matkar @LoMagnette @mthmulders @rdehuyss @gvdschelde @alllexist @tiffanyfayj

Overview of all GCs and their properties

I’m at @hansolo_’s talk on garbage collectors. His graphical representations of how the internals work are excellent and really help to understand what’s going on. #Devoxx

It’s time to hear about the #1BRC from @gunnarmorling and @royvanrijn at #Devoxx. 1️⃣🐝🏎️

@piotrprz @GawedaTomasz

The doctor is in! 🥼Listening to @piotrprz talk about #Java stream gatherers. #Devoxx

The perfect ending to this #Devoxx day: a very enjoyable speaker dinner with @BoukeNijhuis @k_dusza @LoMagnette @JohanHutting, and (not in picture but were definitely there) @gunnarmorling @kevindubois @BalaRawool @sebi2706 @__sunix_

I was at Gregor Hohpe's Deep-Dive session "10 Truths in Distributed System Design". A thorough refresher course on software architecture! I've listed the truths Gregor talked about in the thread below. ⬇️ #Devoxx

At @ashakirin's talk on concurrency in Spring Boot applications. A good overview on the concurrency options a Spring developer has. Good level of detail, too. #Devoxx

@hansolo_ @speakjava @khmarbaise @BrianGoetz @Devoxx

This Friday I'll be giving a masterclass on #PatternMatching in #Java at the HBO-I Job & Student Event in Utrecht. In Dutch! 🇳🇱😱 It's been a while since I spoke my native tongue in a tech talk. hboictjobevent.nl/programma/patt…

TFW one of your app users posts an intricate bug report (including the effect of an obscure OS setting) that finally allows you to reproduce this nasty bug that's been bugging you (and a handful of users with the same OS setting) for weeks.
