In 2025, I delivered 25 talks, including 26 talks at 20 different conferences, in 12 different countries on 3 different continents! Some with amazing cospeakers @piotrprz.bsky.social @hanno.codes and @hilton.org.uk
Since I already have some conferences planned for next year: See you in 2026!

Hello dear #DevRel friends, if you're like me and today's the day you have to do your travel expenses–good luck! 😬 I'm rooting for you.

Wheels down AMS. 🛬 Thanks to the wonderful people of #DevoxxMA for an amazing week of tech content and networking! Let’s do that again soon!

At tech conferences, you don't just learn about the presented topics, but also about the tools speakers use. Case in point: in his #DevoxxMA talk @ericdeandrea.dev mentioned Raycast: a launcher tool for Mac that can be extended with plugins - looks really useful! raycast.com
Raycast - Your shortcut to everything
A collection of powerful productivity tools all within an extendable launcher.

At #DevoxxMA, I'm staying in the same hotel where the conference is hosted. I can literally get from my room to a talk in 3 minutes. It is SO convenient, I love it. ❤️

They could create a desktop shortcut that runs ‘backlog browser’ to see the backlog as a web application.

Thanks! Added it to my watchlist 😀

Come to my talk at #DevoxxMA this afternoon to hear me talk about concurrency in #Java, and how #VirtualThreads, #StructuredConcurrency and #ScopedValues improve the way we write concurrent code. Join me at 16:30 in the 'Mimosa 2' room!

In his #DevoxxMA keynote, @stephanjanssen.be mentioned a promising task management tool called Backlog.md. It can turn any Git repo into a self-contained project board using Markdown only. It also has a web UI and first-class support for coding agents. Gonna give this a try for my next side project.

It is, I was just being dramatic. 🤭

TFW you're about to do a conference talk at a major tech event on structured concurrency, and you discover that the feature has *just* been updated for #Java 26. 😬 openjdk.org/jeps/525 #DevoxxMA

To be fair it is a lot of 🚶at the airport as well 🤭

Excited to be on my way to my very first #DevoxxMA! Current mode of transportation: 🚶. Upcoming: 🚌 - 🚝 - ✈️ - 🚕. #Java

My favourite #Java conference has just started - @brianvermeer.nl and @bjschrijver.dev are kicking off the 22nd edition of #JFall!

The hair I can do, sadly I lack the proper genes to grow that kind of beard 😂

I'm happy to return to @jfokus.se this February with a Deep-Dive talk on virtual threads, structured concurrency and scoped values in #Java! I love the Norse Mythology-themed speaker photos that @matkar.bsky.social and his committee colleagues came up with. 🏰😀

Happy birthday @tomcools.be! 🥳

I was so looking forward to @baselone.bsky.social this week, but sadly I had to cancel at the very last minute due to unforeseen circumstances. 😥 I'm so sorry. Wishing my #Java friends a great conference, hope to be back in Basel next year!

Oh no... here's to a speedy recovery Gerrit!

If we just treat the work of the LLMs like the work of that one notorious coworker we all have, we should be fine. 🤷
"...and at the end, all the tests were passing."

I've seen them do it. Lots of other devs have seen them do it.

LLMs will sometimes cheat to make test suites green. They'll change assertions, comment out failing tests, set them to be ignored, or just plain delete them.

Two words: mutation testing
