It's hard to convey just how much the combination of Omarchy and AI is a total game changer. Today I plugged in a soundbar through S/PDIF and nothing was playing. Googled. No help. Opened Claude, asked it to fix it, 10s later, problem diagnosed, output enabled & renamed. Voila! 🤯

DHH's keynote at Rails World 2026 perfectly encapsulates how I felt for the last few months: - Writing code by hand is no longer economically viable - Programming languages no longer matter - Software dev is now in an Age of Abundance. No more scarcity! www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDjW...

Sometimes it's the little details that matter. We have been using these automatic reruns internally for a while. We couldn't imagine going back. 🎉

New: You can now specify spot=rerun in your job label to automatically rerun spot jobs as on-demand instances when their instance is reclaimed by AWS. sprinters.sh/docs/spot#re...

Well deserved! @jooq.org is such a great product and Lukas has been building it consistently and meticulously since 2009!!

Lukas Eder@lukaseder.bsky.social · 8mo ago

Man, I just love my job. Interesting problems, happy customers, the joys of a great product market fit, flexible work hours (and not too many anymore). Thanks to all you jOOQ customers out there, making this dream-come-true possible!

I had the pleasure of traveling home to Munich to talk to Marco about software, and I quite enjoyed it! And I will hope you will, too. Thanks for having me.

New deep-dive on The Marco Show! 🎥 Watch now: youtu.be/AzfhxgkBL9s Marco sits down with @rafaelcodes.bsky.social (creator of ByteBuddy) to unravel JVM internals, bytecode instrumentation, Mockito and Hibernate internals, legacy Java realities, and the challenges of maintaining open source at scale.

Almost everyone working with the JVM has used his code directly or indirectly. Don't miss Marco Behler's fascinating interview with @rafaelcodes.bsky.social, the author of Byte Buddy, the JVM's best bytecode manipulation library: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Azfh...

For operating Flyway and now @sprinters_sh as a business, REWORK by Jason Fried and DHH was by far the biggest inspiration. Warning: Your preconceptions about how to run a business will be seriously challenged! And once you read it, there is no way back! basecamp.com/books#rework

For Flyway, there were 3 pivotal pieces of writing that each in turn single-handedly convinced me to create, grow and eventually sell the business.

Here it is! The backstory of Flyway: From Open Source Side Project to Multimillion Exit 🔥 This is the first time I talked about this in public and we covered a lot of ground, in detail! Thank you Marco Behler for having me on your show! www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwF2...

I've started kicking the tires of Omarchy, an exciting new Linux distro by @dhh that's like nothing you've seen before! It's not quite there yet for my workflows with IntelliJ, but it's looking very promising!

Using modern compressed RAM disks is such a joy! I moved almost all our internal builds over and they now run 10-20% faster, with just this simple change! The only ones left out are our image builds which really need a disk as they literally use hundreds of GiBs of temp storage!

Sprinters@sprinters.bsky.social · last yr.

Temp storage just got a whole lot faster! You can now store your temp files on blazing fast zstd-compressed RAM disk for maximum I/O performance with zero EBS costs. sprinters.sh/docs/temp#zram

Those are some seriously large GitHub Actions runners! I am happy we managed to get these into your hands within 48 hours of AWS announcing them 🎉

Sprinters@sprinters.bsky.social · last yr.

Need lots of memory for your runners? Sprinters now supports r8i and r8i-flex instances with up to 384 vCPUs and 3072 GiB of RAM! sprinters.sh/docs/label#i...

We already moved some of our own builds to ap-south-1. With this using Sprinters is now a whopping 89% cheaper than GitHub Actions without even using spot instances!

Sprinters@sprinters.bsky.social · last yr.

New: AWS ap-south-1 region support This is AWS' most cost-effective region, by far, for x64 AMD and arm64 instances, with certain instance types costing less than half of what they cost in other regions. sprinters.sh/docs/label#p...

Working with Kotlin, @jooq.org and IntelliJ? Do yourself a favor and upgrade to IntelliJ 2025.1.2 right now to finally fix all jOOQ-related slowdowns and make it usable in K2 mode! youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KTIJ-3...

If you're using PostgreSQL and need a message queue, check out PGMQ github.com/tembo-io/pgmq We've had great results with it for @sprinters.bsky.social. Pure SQL, tx integration and thank to my PR, it can now be installed without creating extension (great for RDS, Cloud SQL, ...)

GitHub - tembo-io/pgmq: A lightweight message queue. Like AWS SQS and RSMQ but on Postgres.

Upgraded already! Worked like a charm, as expected, and I could remove 3 workarounds we had in place for 3.19 in @sprinters.bsky.social 🎉

jOOQ@jooq.org · 2y ago

jOOQ 3.20 released with ClickHouse, Databricks, and much more DuckDB support, new modules, Oracle type hierarchies, more spatial support, decfloat and synonym support, hidden columns, Scala 3, Kotlin 2, and much more blog.jooq.org/jooq-3-20-re...

I made a mistake in my changed build and 1.16.1 now offers the actual support for this.

Rafael Winterhalter@rafaelcodes.bsky.social · 2y ago

Byte Buddy 1.16.0 now integrates the Java Class File API and is therefore compatible with any future JDK that retains its instruction set, without activating the experimental flag. github.com/raphw/byte-b...
