This morning, before a full day at @dev2next.bsky.social, I woke up a bit early and enjoyed the gorgeous Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs 🌄

Great start to a day of learning and sharing 🙌

On my way to @dev2next.bsky.social ✈️
Like always, I’m traveling with my black sheep 🐑
I’ll be talking about how @quarkus.io makes fullstack dev simpler by removing the usual frontend/backend pain.

I usually talk about tech and #Java ☕💻, but lately I’ve been getting back into #sport.
Best motivation? Having a partner — and I’ve found the perfect one: my 4-year-old learning to bike while I run alongside. 🚴‍♂️🏃‍♂️

@maven.apache.org 4 (from 4.0.0-rc4 on) contains the Maven Upgrade Tool with which you can automatically upgrade your Maven project. I finally found time to write a small article about it's feature and how to use it. Please test the tool and give feedback :)

Saw a manhole cover with #MCP on it today. Guess I shouldn't be surprised, that #AI protocol is literally everywhere now. 😜😂

That’s what I call a good way to start a Friday, just before heading off on holiday for a couple of weeks, I found out I’ve been accepted as a speaker for @vdthess.bsky.social ! 🎤✨

Looking forward to being part of this awesome event and sharing some insights with the community.

Yes, same issue in Belgium and basically everywhere in Europe. The only way to probably enjoy it, is to pass the licence.

Honored to join the @dev2next.bsky.social stage this fall! 🚀

I’ll show how Quarkus makes full-stack dev (Java + JS) smooth & pain-free.

Big thanks to @oniryx.be for supporting me on this journey! 🙌

Like every year, I’ve started digging into the @devoxx.com #CFP as a community reviewer! 📝

It’s always fun (and a bit tricky) to go through all the great talk submissions—so many cool ideas and passionate speakers out there. Looking forward to seeing what ends up on stage this year! 🎤
