Finished another weekly·ish review. It was nice reflecting on last week: spoke at the wonderful #ArcOfAI conference, saw the woman who hired me for my first “real” programming job for the first time in over 20 years, and launched the limited speakertrax.com beta. #gtd
Leg 2: Charlotte -> Richmond.
On the ground in Richmond.
Goodbye Austin + #ArcOfAI! Leg 1: Austin -> Charlotte.
At the airport leaving #ArcOfAI. As always, it’s a wonderful, welcoming conference with smart people doing interesting things. I learn so much from both the speakers and attendees. And having free student passes was a great way to help students navigate these disruptive times. #ai
Thanks to everyone who attended my Demystifying Agent System Protocols session at #ArcOfAI today! The audience was attentive and engaging, which is awesome. The slides are on the conference web site and here: kitomann.com#/sessions/62....
On the ground in Austin. Looking forward to #ArcOfAI tomorrow!
Leg 2: Charlotte -> Austin for #ArcOfAI!
On the plane for #ArcOfAI! First leg: Richmond -> Charlotte.
Finished another weekly·ish review...stayed home this time and skipped email processing (usually a huge time sync, even though it's a good thing to do). I sometimes wonder if all the people I say "I just remembered X..." to during a weekly review realize the root cause.of my recollection... #gtd
I was recently on Code Remix Weekly (www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygZy...), where Tim te Beek mentioned conductor.build for multi-coding-agent orchestration. I poked around and found emdash.sh and #JetBrains air.dev too. What are other folks using? #ai #claudecode #codex
Nice!!!
Finally! #79 has dropped! @kitomann.bsky.social, @dhinojosa.bsky.social, and Josh discuss #JakartaEE 12, #Java concurrency, #AI's impact, #NVIDIA, #Azul, #Payara, #IntelliJ, #Claude Code, #Kiro, #Brokk, #Quarkus, and more! www.pubhouse.net/podcast/stac...
I've been working with some data lately, and I'm impressed with how useful the built-in #JetBrains #IntelliJ CSV editor is. I hadn't really used it before until recently.
Finished another weekly review! So glad to be back into the routine.. really helps me keep track of all of my projects (a project is just anything that requires more than a couple steps to complete). #gtd

Wohoo! Another weekly review completed. #gtd
I was just reviewing overlayfactsheet.com/en/, which explains that accessibility overlays don't work. One benefit of #ai code generation is that it's now cheaper to make a site accessible from day 1. Remember this when you're using agents to build UIs -- (see www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG22/q...). #a11y
I took advantage of the upper-70-degree weather in VA today and did my weekly review (and work day) mostly outside. Slowly getting back into the review habit; it always uncovers stalled projects/tasks! #gtd
Thanks to everyone who attended my talk "From Mosaic to Modern: The Evolution of Web App Architectures" at #confoo last week. It's important that as an industry we understand where we have been so that we know where we should or should not go in the future. PDF here:
Leg 2: Philly -> Richmond.
Leaving Montreal after a great week at #confoo! Special thanks to Ken Fogel for being a wonderful tour guide yesterday! Let 1: Montreal -> Philly.
Thanks to everyone who attended my #GraphQL Distilled talk at #Confoo! I added a last minute demo showing how Claude Code can easily work with GraphQL since the schema is discoverable and error handling is standardized. Slides here: virtua.tech/slides/graph.... #java #microprofile #javascript
Happy to see Ivar cover Bauke’s #OmniHai at @confoo along with the #lLangChain4J #cdi extension. #java #jakartaee #ai
Happy to see Ivar discuss the past, present and future of #JakartaEE @confoo! #java
On the ground in Montreal for #confoo! I’m looking forward to speaking at the Montreal JUG tonight! Modernizing the Mission Critical with #OpenRewrite and #AI @Confoo meetu.ps/e/PQMrw/7Y1c...
Leg 2: Chicago -> Montreal. Time for some cold air! #confoo
On the plane to Montreal for #confoo! Leg 1: Richmond -> Chicago.
I finally got back on the #gtd weekly review bandwagon this week and completed my first review of 2026. The best part was when I reviewed my remaining projects and closed several projects and tasks that were either complete or no longer relevant. Definitely helps reduce the mental load of existence.
