Why do so many software engineering teams see their development speed slow to a crawl? In this week's video, I explore the single biggest challenge in modern software engineering and programming: coupling. Now on @modernswe.bsky.social 📽️ ➡️ youtu.be/grPtnrOTP_4

@mullvadnet trying to gaslight the #Fediverse about "free speech" and fascism, and posting the same obviously PR-approved response to multiple negative posts about their co-CEO / co-founder donating money to fascists sure is a choice.

"Write Once. Run Forever: The Java Story" is coming July 17th! Check out the trailer now: youtu.be/8jrKl4teAjY The full film premieres on YouTube on July 17th at 7pm UTC. James Gosling, Java's creator, and other cast members, will join in the chat.

My main worry is that we’re banning social media for kids but not AI. So you can’t speak to real people online anymore, kids, but you sure can talk to your fake artificial friend who weirdly loves to talk about taking your own life!

De Niro: Loving our country is starting to sound like an abused spouse saying they love their abuser. I can’t love a country that starts stupid and inhumane wars, killing thousands of innocents… I can’t love a country that’s led by a xenophobic tyrant. I can’t love a country that’s led by Trump

The rainbow is here all year long, so we don't need to change the profile for June. But it is a good time to remind everyone that LGBTQIA+ rights are under attack all year long as well. And to steal @haskell.org's message: there would be no Gleam without trans people 🩵🩷🤍

A human-centric AI Manifesto. I've seen a few AI manifestos recently, but this is one I can get behind. ronanberder.com/ai-manifesto/ github.com/hunvreus/ai-... cc @monkchips.com @cote.io

AI-Augmented Software Development Manifesto

A manifesto for building software with AI without surrendering human taste, judgment, and ownership.

#Jira is blocking me from doing my work. The question pops up at semi-unpredictable times, and there is no way around it and back to Jira page I wanted to work on. It’s a pain.

I spent the day playing with #EclipseCollections. First impression is it can advantageously replace 75 % of #JavaCollectionsFramework. For a few classes, like LinkedHashMap, I didn’t find a good replacement. Luckily the two libraries interoperate surprisingly well. #Java

A good colleague of mine, @knudaage.bsky.social , finally embarked on weeding out the use of Date, Calendar, SimpleDateFormat, TimeZone and XMLGregorianCalendar from what may be our largest open-source code project, #bitrepository, github.com/bitrepositor.... #Java

I am keeping this coin as a little symbol not only of me belonging in the #Java community but also of the mark that @sharatchander.bsky.social set on the Java community and on myself. Shar gave this coin to me on my birthday at #Jfokus2026 in Stockholm.

This makes no sense to me, it can’t be true, yet it is. :-(

Well, my #Java journey has come to an end. Today my role at Oracle has been terminated. I’m open to any job leads y’all may have.

First time I coded a #sealedInterface in #Java. A method could return 3 different results, each with its own supplementary information. A sealed interface and three implementing record types seemed right.

I admit that before coming to #Jfokus2026 I thought virtual threads in #Java sounded like a good idea, but it was unclear what I wanted to use them for. After the talks and lab in the conference I have a very clear picture.

At #Jfokus @josepaumard.bsky.social gave the inspiring hands-on lab on structured concurrency and virtual threads. The learning material is good, so I am looking forward to digging still deeper after the conference. #Java

The first day of #jfokus, the hands-on day, so where you learn and end up tired. @timtebeek.github.io and @rickossendrijver.bsky.social presented "Break your testing habits", advocating #AssertJ, but also a scary eye-opener how much many of us still stick to obsolete habits we learned with #JUnit 3.

NEW RESEARCH: Climate change on track to slash global crop yields by 24% before 2100. Like, within the lifespan of your kids. Also: adaptation and new farmland can’t offset this loss. Sorry, AI can’t fix this. agupdate.com/agriview/mar...

Climate change will devastate crop yields

A sweeping new analysis finds that warming global temperatures will dampen the world’s capacity to produce food from most staple crops, even after accounting for economic development and adaptation by

Of the people praising IntelliJ IDEA (for instance of the occasion of its 25th birthday), how many have been given a license they don’t pay for? How does this contribute to the amount of praise? And how many of them mention the gift along with the praise (I haven’t seen any yet)?

These are the icy mountains of Pluto. It took 9 years to get these magnificent images… and 4.8 billion kilometers.

A thread 🧵 of _terrible_ design decisions for the internal APIs of the two Italian high speed train operators, Italo and Trenitalia. Hardcoded passwords, terrible translations, spelling mistakes, xml in json (but utf8 encoded and transmitted as an array of numbers), it's all here. Enjoy!

A colleague objected to using the assert keyword in production Java code. He thinks it will only ever be checked during running unit tests and prefers to have the assertion in the test. 1/2 #Java

My teenager and a friend asked who invented, owns and develops Java. I gave them the very short story from memory. Java was developed by a group lead by James Gosling and was launched by a company named Sun Microsystems Inc. (1/4) #Java #techhistory

I have secured my ticket for Jfokus, Stockholm February 2–4. Looking forward like a little kid.
