Every developer starts by learning. The real growth happens when you start sharing. 🚀

At #dev2next, @bjschrijver.dev's keynote showed how this simple cycle transformed his career — and how it can transform yours too.

Duke on Nails and Eclipse Collections Categorically on display with @venkats.bsky.social in the hallway track at @dev2next.bsky.social . Thank you for organizing this amazing developer conference, and for helping me give the book away before the keynote today! Hope to come back again next year! 🙏

Venkat pointing at ten different hand painted Java Duke mascots on Jasmin's finger nails. It only took two and a half hours to get the nails done. That is Java advocacy on display.

Me standing next to Venkat who is holding a matte hardcover copy of Eclipse Collections Categorically we would give away before the afternoon keynote.
