I’m in Frankfurt today with the Payara team, talking about what’s next for Java: modernization, cloud deployment, and how we build things sustainably and smartly. Great to see people here from BMW, DPD, Bundesagentur für Arbeit, and PayPal—it shows how relevant these topics are across industries.

This week, for the first time, I gave a session on a bus. Had some "Speed" (the Movie) flashbacks. Keanu Reeves never showed up and I had to do all the work by myself... anyway ... would you like to give a session in this bus?
