Jurassic JDK: Migrate or Extinct - foojay

65 million years ago, dinosaurs didn't adapt. They're gone. Your JDK 7 app is giving the same energy. 🫠 I spent a year and a half migrating more than 15 - by Aicha Laafia

Yaaay, I'll be speaking at @baselone.bsky.social again! 🎉

I spent 1 month on vacation and didn't write a single line of code😬, but I need it, why? because I had 1 year and a half with no real vacation and much stress at work... this is your call, don't feel guilty when you are lazy on your vacation, that's its purpose 🌴

gave a talk at JCON about Duck Syndrome 🦆 (calm on top, chaos underneath) and judging by the nodding in the room… yeah. we're all ducks here. thanks to everyone who came up after to share their story. that's exactly why this talk exists. 💙 #JCON2026

I hope to see you all there at JCON 🥺🥺

My @amsterdam.voxxeddays.com talk about streams tricks using Gatherers is available now : youtu.be/l3xcqAAtedE?... PS1 - don't mind 1st 2 min 👀 I was as lucky as Max Verstaben in the start of this F1 season 🥲 PS2 - Yes in my demo I used Max real data of F1 2025 season 🏎🏁✨️✨️ #java

Finally I made it to 127.0.0.1 😂

To recap day02 of @amsterdam.voxxeddays.com ! I learned that : - I have right to collect my data from apps by using GDPR in @iuliaferoli.com talk ! - Jdk26 may sounds boring but it's not in @mostlynerdless.de and @lutskedev.bsky.social (1/2)

Day 01 of @amsterdam.voxxeddays.com #1 10 things I hate about Java is so far the most creative and informative talk I ever attended ! Great job @97adele.bsky.social 👏

JavaFX is back — now part of the Java Verified Portfolio. Proper support again across Java versions. Big for desktop apps. Modern Java can do way more than people think — even AI and full stack with fewer moving parts. Also: great hallway track, Brian Goetz, Stuart Marks, and Duke 🙂

The idea of the internet was to have a decentralized network of computers. But what we have today is a network with big players like Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and Cloudflare. If one if these players fail, like Cloudflare currently, a large part of the internet fails. We should go back.

We didn't forget Duke's share of #Halloween treats 🍬😏😏 #java

I am not a devrel; I just love conferences and mostly the people I find there 🥰😍(the goodies are bonus😆)
