Last thing i must saaaaaay : Kudos to all @amsterdam.voxxeddays.com organizers and volunteers 👏👏👏 it was enjoying being there and I learned many things 😀 😄
See you next year ✨️✨️

- I can build my own emulator to run old software in JVM thanks to @remcoder.bsky.social talk
- How to do prompt injection in @brianvermeer.nl talk
- finally I got to finally attend in person @venkats.bsky.social that got me to understand more how Features are delivered in Java and why it takes time

To recap day02 of @amsterdam.voxxeddays.com !
I learned that :
- I have right to collect my data from apps by using GDPR in @iuliaferoli.com talk !
- Jdk26 may sounds boring but it's not in @mostlynerdless.de and @lutskedev.bsky.social
(1/2)

#4 finally
I had my talk at the end of the day about Gatherers in #java 25 ✨️

#3 there is this talk !!!
Saman delivered a talk about legacy code ! That our code one day will become a legacy one too so better keep it clean

#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 😬

Day 01 of @amsterdam.voxxeddays.com
#1 10 things I hate about Java is so far the most creative and informative talk I ever attended !
Great job @97adele.bsky.social 👏

JavaFX is back — now part of the Java Verified Portfolio. Proper support again across Java versions. Big for desktop apps.

Modern Java can do way more than people think — even AI and full stack with fewer moving parts.

Also: great hallway track, Brian Goetz, Stuart Marks, and Duke 🙂

Amsterdam is calling! 🚲🇳🇱 Catch me speaking at @amsterdam.voxxeddays.com in exactly two weeks (April 1-2). I'm dropping some Stream tricks that will actually make your life easier. Come say hi! 👋✨

What Burnout Taught Me About Sustainable Coding Practices 🔥🧑‍💻🌱 I didn’t burn out because I was weak or unmotivated. I burned out on very specific days for very specific technical reasons.

The idea of the internet was to have a decentralized network of computers.
But what we have today is a network with big players like Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and Cloudflare.
If one if these players fail, like Cloudflare currently, a large part of the internet fails.
We should go back.

We didn't forget Duke's share of #Halloween treats 🍬😏😏
