Putting artifacts in Maven Central remains a non-starter for us for the foreseeable future, so please don't bother suggesting it, we would have if we could have."

In "better late than never", I decided to write about @voxxedzurich.bsky.social

I ported nanocode, a minimal AI coding agent, from Python to Java. 261 lines, one file, zero frameworks. Just JBang, Jackson, and a loop.

"10 or more reasons to not use JDK’s HttpClient" by @bricedutheil.bsky.social
I agree, the JDK HttpClient is horrible, buggy and incomplete (multi-part encoding anyone?).

Who takes care of the people who take care of open source?
For @commonhaus.org's 2nd birthday, I revisited the foundation for @thenewstack.io. [1/3]
SDKMan is a handy tool, but some usability tweaks would be much appreciated:

We'll be shredding at Voxxed Days Zürich!
