Try this in your maven project:
mvn eu.maveniverse.maven.plugins:pilot:RELEASE:pilot
So Happy to see Tamboui being used to improve developer UX for Java world!
Good stuff from @gnodet and @cstamas happening in https://github.com/maveniverse
For sure - but many thinks its somehow more than traditional middleware engineering - its not; and your favourite language/ecosystem can build these :)
Much ❤️ for @almiray on his comments on what been missing in Java in latest The Marco Show

I’ll be honest and say I rarely see those kind of half edits ever since including in system prompts to ensure to run build/tests before passing buck back to me.
And no - nanocode just runs until model says stop. It’s only 261 lines :D
It’s single edit but fairly trivial to do multi if wanted to but not sure it will buy you much.
I would of course recommend quarkus ai to go further :)
But I wanted to try show a coding harness is princely quite simple. No magic :)
I ported nanocode, a minimal AI coding agent, from Python to Java. 261 lines, one file, zero frameworks. Just JBang, Jackson, and a loop.
Want more try quarkus.ai

4/ The best part? There's no custom app. The entire "automation" is a markdown README describing what to do. The AI agent reads it and orchestrates the CLI tools.
A README is the new script. 😄
Now imagine having something like pi.dev available natively in Java... 🤔
3/ The output:
✅ Per-kid, per-day lesson overview with links
✅ Google Calendar entries updated with lesson content
✅ PDFs generated and printed to our home printer
✅ Warnings about materials needed or missed days
All from one command.
2/ I set up pi.dev (an AI coding agent) with Quarkus/JBang CLI scripts for Google Drive, Gmail, and Calendar.
It pulls all yearly plans, caches them locally, checks for updates, searches emails for school notifications, and cross-references everything against the daily schedule
1/ My kids go to an online school. Schedules, weekly plans, materials — scattered across Google Drive, learning portals, and email.
Every week I'd spend 1-2 hours piecing it all together. Now it takes ~2 minutes. Here's how 👇

Awesome photo of Earth by Artemis from https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ce8jzr423p9o with caption:
"The Earth appears upside down..."
No. The Earth is exactly where it has always been. It's your internal map that's keeping your perception locked into an imperfect model of reality.

Let’s just take a moment to appreciate we are now finally once again sending out humans to the frontier of space.
Safe travels to the crew on Artemis.
Quarkus Community Calls are every 2 weeks - todays topic is kafka and kafka queues.
Starting just now :)

🎉 IBM Bob 1.0.1 is now available!
main thing for me is that it now starts to support skills - and this post was posted by my social media skill :)

Your git diff could be better.
diffnav gives you GitHub's file tree in the terminal - tree view on the left, diffs on the right. Search, jump between files, syntax highlighting.
brew install dlvhdr/formulae/diffnav
git config --global pager.diff diffnav
At 51 and this drops on me and it hits even more true than the first time I listened to it the first time almost 20 years ago.
Always worth a listen.

Java 26 quietly ships `-Xlog:cpu`, and it’s a perfect match with jbang. Run `jbang --java 26 -R=-Xlog:cpu <yourapp>` to see per-thread CPU stats without attaching a profiler. Handy way to sanity-check GC/VM activity.
OSS folks: how are you shipping AI skills and plugins so committers can keep experimenting while users get something stable? How do you handle contributor vs company Claude Code and AI tool setups without fragmenting things? Drop examples, repos, or horror stories.
Java 26 is out today!
Fastest way to try it:
jbang init --java 26 hello.java
./hello.java
Congrats on the release @java and enjoy!
Quarkus isn’t just about making Java fast. It is about making Java competitive with the best developer experiences across ecosystems.
Nice to see .NET comparisons already using our new benchmark repo and highlighting DX.

I thought it was more issues are still there but now there is this higher level concept of work items?
"...if you have anything proprietary you become this thing where everyone just want to run around you..."
Lots of interesting quotes and observations in this

OpenAI's behaviour is just not right here.

Want to reduce/get off my openai usage.
What sucks is Claude doesn't seem to have the parental controls that OpenAI offers - anyone know of better options as waiting until 18 to learn to use AI also isn't a good option?
We have a Quarkus team meeting this week and this is thus far my favourite slide - title need to be spoken out with an awesome accent :)
What I’m using more than anything else is x:
mise x node@lts gradle — gradle build
Runs anything anywhere without setup that way :)
Yeah and it works for all kind of weird stuff :) it’s windows support isn’t as magical but it’s “ok” given sdkman also don’t work super well on windows either.
Use mise instead.
Pushing JFR beyond "just" profiling.
POC of having TamboUI emit (efficient) breadcrumbs of element tree and the regenerate a hi-res custom html allowing to introspect/replay frames.
Great for layout behaves as expected :)
