At Devnexus, I had the pleasure of co-presenting "Java and the Internet of Things" with the great Barry Burd! 🚀 Barry built an incredible set of IoT demos. ... 🚁 Yes, we literally made a drone respond to our voices—because why press buttons when you can just sing to your tech? 😄

Yesterday, I had the chance to talk to students of the IT Campus Wiesau about career opportunities in the Java Ecosystem. As you can see by the cool t-shirt, I even convinced this super fun C# lecturer to come to the Java side of things. Thank you, Stephan Rippert, for being a good sport!

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.

This image (by Dave Bailey) perfectly captures the shift that Nonviolent Communication teaches. This mindset shift is what Satya Nadella brought to Microsoft, transforming the company culture. Better software starts with better understanding—and that begins with better communication.

Marshall B. Rosenberg’s Nonviolent Communication isn’t just philosophy—it’s a game-changer for tech. Satya Nadella made Microsoft execs read it, and it helped transform the company. Want better teams, better requirements, and happier customers? Start with better conversations. 📖👥

I just stumbled on FLI4L again—how could I forget this gem?! 💾 24 years ago, before home routers were common, I used a floppy-based Linux router to share an ISDN connection for my whole family. No hard drive, just pure Linux magic! 🚀 Who else remembers those days? 😄

Hey @andresalmiray.com, when you talk about Stargate at work, make sure your boss understands the circle and spinning part. I don't know how they could have misunderstood you and made this an AI project. 😑 edition.cnn.com/2025/01/21/t...
