Docker Sandboxes | Sandboxes for Coding Agents | Docker Secure sandboxes for Claude Code, Gemini, Codex, and Kiro. Run coding agents with microVM-based isolation.

Had the same. Went with Docker Sandbox. Got good control over network and even saves Claude / Github tokens in a proxy outside the container. Agent can't even read those tokens. πŸ˜‰

Why this jump?

It's not because someone else built something or does something... you shouldn't do it. 😊 Big part of the value of building something is the path to the result, not just the result.

But yes, do follow @brianvermeer.nl 😊

A project I've wanted to build for a while, mainly to remind myself to submit talks to CFPs.

- Get the data from javaconferences.org
- Create a video with the data using Remotion

Could be less obnoxious, but that's for the next iteration. πŸ˜‡

Braving the Change: recalibrating to new realities - Devoxx UK By Tom Cools. β€˜Change is the only constant in our industry’… but they never told us it would go this fast. With the recent evolutions in AI, β€˜change’ has shifted from a β€˜constant’ to something better ...

Just a few more weeks until @devoxx.uk , where I will be presenting probably the most personal and important talk I have ever created, for the first time in the UK. Because yes, even Java Champions struggle with change.

Give it a <3 on the companion app to not miss it: m.devoxx.com/events/devox...

When doing an employee schedule roster for 30 people, you end up with more possible combinations than atoms in the universe. Excellent talk by @tomcools.be at #VDC26!

Jfokus 2026: Call for Speakers Jfokus is a general topics conference for a developer and tech audience. Jfokus conference, set to take place on February 2-4, 2026, at Stockholm Wate...

Been reviewing submissions for @jfokus.se and while I've seen a lot of great talks pass by, I can't shake the feeling there are some viewpoints missing. πŸ˜‰

So don't hold back your quirky, silly, weird or serious ideas for talks and submit them anyway! sessionize.com/jfokus-2026.
