My latest blog: Go Primitive in Java, or Go in a Box

I've programmed in Java for half of my life. I stopped waiting for language features when I knew lambdas would arrive. We got to work and solved collections problems together in OSS.

No regrets, just thanks. 🙏

We can have our eight Java primitives and travel light in collections too.

The future for #Java looks very promising!

Found an awesome deck by THE @glaforge.dev on LLMs for beginners. I just had a chance at skimming through this. I will return to read it more thoroughly.

I love initial disclaimers. It resonates with my motto "docendo discimus".

I don't block a lot of people. I am generally tolerant. Some accounts, though, are aggravating enough. Happy to share my block list below.

I will make enemies by sharing this, but I prefer to be transparent.

PS: I don't like that clearsky.app publishes information that should be private to me.

Run the Apache Maven 4.0.0-RC-1 today and get helpful tips that also apply to your Maven 3 builds.

Some plugins depend on default bindings.Lock your versions to get one step closer to reproducible builds. That also helps with DORA, NIS2, and SLSA compliance.

If you are not sure what is happening in your Apache Maven build, then run the following command to find out:

mvn buildplan:list-phase

You will get a nice list of plugins/goals and in which phase they are running.
