I asked @github.com copilot to fix a feature of my #jfmt CLIBtool ( #java formatter). Turns out, if you're willing to invest some time, give a lots of detailed instructions, and give reviews, it turns out well.
Alas, coding took 40 minutes or so, I might have been faster. 😅
Still, impressive!

"Let's see what's out there..." It was 38 years ago today (Sept 28, 1987) that "Encounter at Farpoint" had its premiere broadcast, introducing Capt Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the Enterprise-D. I'm proud to have been a member of the team who made the show at Paramount.

TIL: In #Java, List.subList() and List.reversed() are implemented smartly. You may call these methods as many times as you want and in any order, but you don't get a long chain of references which leads to StackOverflowError. The longest chain of views is two: reversed -> subList -> original list.

#ThrowbackThursday Can't believe it's already been two weeks since I was on stage with @bmarwell.de at @javazone.bsky.social. We've discussed a structural approach to speeding up your #Maven builds. Missed it? See vimeo.com/1115842570.
Thanks to @maritvandijk.bsky.social for capturing the moment!
