A graphic showing "Pride Versioning" where the first number is the Proud Version. Then second is the Default Version. And the last number is the Shame Version.
Made very few changes to the latest build and was thinking maybe I'll be able to ship this one without incrementing the shame version (last number in a version number) and 2 minutes into testing, it's already getting bumped.
I recorded an episode of the Marco Show with Marco Behler from JetBrains. It was an absolute pleasure, thanks for having me. We talked about a lot: how I ended up on the Spring team, Project Leyden, GraalVM, AI, and so much more. Also available as a podcast.

AI pretending to be customer support is a pretty miserable experience. I don't need something pretending to be human regurgitating the FAQ page.
It must also put a strain on the real support staff who now only get customers who are already angry from fighting a robot!
Fascinating how different minds function. I've find the extra blank lines add cognitive load because I can't easily tell where methods start and end and I can't see inner classes easily.
🐞 Debugging done right saves hours of pain. In his #Devnexus talk, @philwebb.dev shared the “Three R’s” of debugging—Reproduce, Report, Repair—backed by a decade of Spring Boot experience. Recap it here ⤵️

Anyway, let's talk about AI

Fantastic work by me throwing coffee absolutely everywhere this morning!
The problem with a nice espresso machine is you need at least two coffees inside you before attempting to operate it 🤣
Hire Mark! He is not only a great advocate and speaker, but a wonderful person.
Damn. I'm really sorry Mark 😞
