Virtual graphs sourced from relational databases: this is what a great team and I have been working on @neo4j.com the last months. For me, it’s kind of full circle: #SQL, #Cypher and now SQL again behind the scenes. A journey way over a decade for me personally. neo4j.com/blog/graph-d...

In my preparation of my talk @jcon.one about #JSpecify, I released version 4.0.0 of #Neo4j migrations, fully embracing JSpecify and #NullAway. Null-safety on the Java module path, as it should be. See you next week in Cologne. github.com/michael-simo...

Release 4.0.0 · michael-simons/neo4j-migrations

What's Changed We added JSpecify towards the Core Module (via the Java ac.simons.neo4j.migrations.core of course, as we are big proponents of the module system), and do check and validate the full ...

This Sunday I gave a talk at a conference and someone came to me afterwards telling me that my posts played a part in politicizing them. Still thinking about that. A lot of the time it feels like one is just yelling at the clouds but we can sometimes make a difference in each others' lives.

May I hold up the mirror a bit more? DevRel: most report into marketing. Which means they do marketing, aka the stuff they produce is there primarily to sell more products/services. Also: DevRel mostly writes sample apps, not production-grade. All tech looks awesome when writing hello-world apps.

Think about that if you find yourself spending your times being angry online. Go outside, meet some real people with similar interests, and live your life instead of wasting it away. :)

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 🙂

Excellent read. A sufficiently detailed spec is not far from code. I wouldn't be surprised to see a formal grammar for specs emerge, at which point we'll just have invented a higher level programming language or reinvented MDA. And then we'll just need a compiler, not an LLM.

New blog post: "A sufficiently detailed spec is code" I wrote this because I was tired of people claiming that the future of agentic coding is thoughtful specification work. As I show in the post, the reality devolves into slop pseudocode haskellforall.com/2026/03/a-su...
