Java turns 30 today 🎉🤩 What a journey: From being a #Java tutor at university in the 90s, authoring a book 20 years ago, delivering workshops for 2 decades, to being a technical coach using & promoting the latest Java features. Happy birthday! Here's to the next 30 years! dev.java/community/ja...

"Why do you like speaking at conferences?" 💡 It means ATTENDING conferences. Learning from other speakers. Connecting with like-minded people. It keeps my mind open for the day2day challenges at work. 📚 Preparing a talk means deeply immersing yourself in a topic. It's learning by teaching. (1/2)

Once again I've decided not to submit to a conference that requires recording of a promo video. I guess that's just not my style of preparing and submitting conference talks 🤷‍♂️ (Instead, I made progress writing an article about fitness functions, yay!)

As software developers, we thrive on feedback—whether it’s a code review, an architectural discussion, or a team retrospective. But giving and receiving feedback effectively is a skill in itself. That’s why Radical Candor by Kim Scott is a must-read for anyone in software development.

Published: Environment Branches Harm Quality Environment feature branches were popularised in the 1990s. Since the 2000s, this practice has become increasingly rare because of the awareness of its costs and risks. Yet, some organisations still rely on them. thinkinglabs.io/articles/202...

The Axis of Evil now spans from Moscow to Washington. It's sad for the (still) free world to watch a once-so-great nation come tumbling down; to witness how the longest-standing democracy becomes a puppet of oligarchs, autocrats and dictators 😱 Resist!

Routine 100% inspection to improve quality is equivalent to planning for defects. — Deming Inspection does not improve quality or guarantee quality. It is too late, ineffective and costly. The quality, good or bad, is already in the product. Quality comes from continuous process improvement.

The people at CodeScene are doing a great job of finding quantitative measurements to demonstrate what a lot of us have been saying for a long time - code quality matters. You can't sustain frequent releases without it. codescene.com/blog/benchma...

Looking back at 2024 ... My "conference life" was unusually quiet. Which is kind of a pity, because these events are great places for learning from each other (and the 5 events where I spoke this year definitely were!). So, let's see what 2025 will bring 😊. 365 days full of possibilities for sure!
