Never thought I'd be one of those people holding my macbook open while boarding an airplane but here we are. Bye Lisbon, till next time! I make my escape to Belgian weather! 😅

Alright @bejug.bsky.social #java user group friends. We normally take a break during the summer, but I think we can have a nice BBQ, drinks and Java documentary watching somewhere... who's in?! (other #jugs feel free to steal the idea 😊) www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jrK...

Ok, so @pi.dev is pretty cool. It's great to be able to write deterministic code to steer my agents. Feels much smoother than the bash-y hooks and such from others. Also custom tool calls, easy peasy. I guess I know what my next conference talk is going to be about. 😅

On my way to work, driving behind a truck with the following text on tailgate/doors. "We can see you are behind us... thank you for your support!" 😅 You're...welcome?

When looking for tech events, hacks, & meetups, where do you go to find them? As the organiser of @virtualjug.bsky.social & launching a new dev event, I want to make sure we show up in the spaces you actually use. Let me know in the comments 👇

The last Belgian #Java User Group before the summer stop is in the books! Thank you again to @oniryx.be for hosting us every year in June since we started! A big massive thank you to @glycin.bsky.social and @ted.dev for presenting #spring and #eventsourcing See you all after summer! ☀️

First thing my kid says to me when he woke up: "Daddy, that's Duke on your tshirt" Proud dad moment. 😅 #java We have a @bejug.bsky.social event today, so was already wearing this.

Life is a matter of perspective. Sometimes all you need to do is take a few steps to the side and what looked like "stop believing" turns out to say "never stop believing." ✨ Thank you Wintercircus Ghent (our Timefold homebase) for such a clear example that where you stand changes what you see. 🎪 😅

BeJUG is back and we're coming to Ghent! 🇧🇪☕ Join us for two great talks: 🗄️ Event Sourcing with @hanneslowette.net 🎙️ The story behind JCast with Maarten Casteels Hosted by www.inetum.com/be/nl.html. Many thanks for hosting us again! 👉 RSVP (free): www.meetup.com/belgian-java... #Java #BeJUG

Hi folks! If you are @devoxx.uk this week, i'd love to meet you there! Come to my session on "dealing with change" on wednesday, or just tap me on the shoulder for a nice conversation... i am bringing belgian! 🍫

Job hunting as a developer is a nightmare, right? Tell me your stories of navigating the recruitment process as a dev looking for a job, and if you've been in the game for a while, tell me how it's changed lately (I want to use these stories on the Modern Software Engineering channel)

Last Wednesday, we released the newest version of Timefold Solver, 2.0. It's a major version, which can look a bit scary. Upgraded 15 projects... time: under 10 minutes. 😊 Read about that experience here: timefold.ai/blog/timefol... Big thanks to Moderne for their work on #OpenRewrite. 😊

I know first hand that it's scary to stand up and speak at a conference for the first time. That's exactly why we given them support to take to the stage at @devoxx.uk. If you're attending do come along and support these aspiring speakers!

Taking to the stage to speak is a terrifying thing. It takes guts! That's why we're happy to support new speakers from the Aspiring Speaker group with a chance to share their knowledge at DevoxxUK. Come along and support them!

Looking for work. Will DevRel for coffee or wine 😁

A project I've wanted to build for a while, mainly to remind myself to submit talks to CFPs. - Get the data from javaconferences.org - Create a video with the data using Remotion Could be less obnoxious, but that's for the next iteration. 😇 #java #conferences

Just a few more weeks until @devoxx.uk , where I will be presenting probably the most personal and important talk I have ever created, for the first time in the UK. Because yes, even Java Champions struggle with change. Give it a <3 on the companion app to not miss it: m.devoxx.com/events/devox...

Braving the Change: recalibrating to new realities - Devoxx UK

By Tom Cools. ‘Change is the only constant in our industry’… but they never told us it would go this fast. With the recent evolutions in AI, ‘change’ has shifted from a ‘constant’ to something better ...

When doing an employee schedule roster for 30 people, you end up with more possible combinations than atoms in the universe. Excellent talk by @tomcools.be at #VDC26!

First talk of my #devoxx, @mydeveloperplanet.com talking about...what else... AI agents.

Been reviewing submissions for @jfokus.se and while I've seen a lot of great talks pass by, I can't shake the feeling there are some viewpoints missing. 😉 So don't hold back your quirky, silly, weird or serious ideas for talks and submit them anyway! sessionize.com/jfokus-2026.
