I've been working on some content for a possible new talk for hopefully @devoxx.com and/or #JFall this fall season.

Always wanted a sarcastic, unhelpful pair programmer that puts me in my place when I ask silly things 🥲

What do you think? Would you let this little one blow up stuff in your code?

There was a "History of Spring" game made by VMWare a couple of years ago where you could learn about the history of the framework in a playful way. Unfortunately I can't seem to find it anywhere 😕. Does anyone here know if it's still online somewhere? A simple Google search doesn't help me much :(

Thrilled to be back in London for @devoxx.uk! Though it seems some of the orcs in the village aren’t as keen on traveling 🤔… while others are eyeing big trade opportunities between Mordor and the UK 😅.

Either way, I can’t wait!! Devoxx UK is always an absolute blast!

🧐 Ever wondered what vector databases actually do? Spoiler: They store vectors (shocking, right?). But they’re also game-changers for AI, search & natural language interfaces!

Join @glycin.bsky.social at #YOW25 for a fun intro to Vector Databases—because data storage should never be boring.

I've been playing with the idea of adding a radial menu in @intellijidea.com. What do people here think, yay or nay?

And if yay, what kinda shortcuts would you like to see in it?
