As I prepare my JUG talk and revisit Java 24 and 25, I appreciate how well the new concurrency tools fit together. Virtual Threads simplify threading, Structured Concurrency brings clarity to task management, and Scoped Values make context handling elegant. Java’s getting seriously fun to work with.

This brought back memories. I built a similar setup at New Relic using Flink CDC and object storage. It was more efficient than Kafka + Kafka Connect for our workload. Temporal workflows seem like the natural next step I didn’t get to explore www.datadoghq.com/blog/enginee...

Kafka past community culture was one of the best parts for me. Very technical people, from multiple competing companies, collaborating and pushing the ecosystem forward together. The level of discourse was absurdly high. I could learn real things in every thread.

I thought my next post would be something different, but this project ended up being enjoyable enough that it deserved a write up.

Been testing GitHub Copilot’s new coding agent for a few days. Integration with Issues, PRs, Actions, Codespaces, and the mobile app is impressive. Still prefer CLI-based code agents, the review/feedback loop is much faster

Neat trick: use watchexec to detect commits in your local repo and get notified when your code agent (running in a container) finishes its work.

I've created my first Firefox plugin that lets me share the current tab to @frontpage.fyi with minimal effort (mobile and desktop).
It's also the first time I use @atprotocol.dev and it's as cool as it seems.
The repo is available in Github but also in @tangled.org:

What a special moment to speak at Current one last time about New Relic's object storage adoption for data streaming. Looking back at four years of performance improvements has been incredible, and I'm amazed by how much I've learned!

Just a friendly reminder: let's use per-second metrics, not per-minute. There's no good technical reason for 'per minute'. The only advantage is puffing up the numbers to look more impressive

I read on the docker documentation how ONBUILD instruction can be used, but it is not clear at all.
Can someone please explain it to me?
