Did some more evaluation of GitHub Copilot CLI today and built a nice launcher app for my #GemsFX open source project. The productivity I get out of this surpassed all my expectations. #javafx #java #ui #ux @brunoborges.bsky.social
When using AI to generate code the term "implementation detail" gets a whole new meaning. #ai #copilot #claude @brunoborges.bsky.social
"I ran out of AI tokens."
๐ Copilot Java SDK v1.0.10 is out!

I hear you. But we can't go back now, can we?
What we can do is stop wasting token rewriting software that already exists.
bsky.app/profile/brun...
Despite LLMs being able to rewrite any software, the idea of writing reusable software remains an important goal: every time you rewrite software that already exists, you are wasting tokens on producing non-business value.
Focus token usage on delivering value.
Reuse software.
Sonnet 4.6 in a parallel agent fleet overnight is a different use case than single-session testing. I ran two controlled experiments - the model surprised me in unexpected ways. thoughts.jock.pl/p/sonnet-46-...
When you write open source software (with or without) AI, and shares it with the world, you are effectively helping other developers save tokens.
Funny, the #Copilot Coding Review agent provided feedback in Polish because the Pull Request is about translating from English to Polish. But the cool thing is that there is indeed a double *n* in the Polish word "rozszczepialnnoลฤ" !!!
It should be rozszczepialnoลฤ.

#FOSS remains well founded. What is not included are obligations to:
- have comm channels
- review issues submitted by others
- review and accept/maintain contributions
Ability to disable PRs is recognition maintainers deserve the right to not engage w/ users and still abide to principles of FOSS.
Dude... It's Friday... ๐บ (beer)
Awesome Copilot now includes Agentic Workflows!
A community-driven space to share real, endโtoโend agentic workflows that plan, implement, iterate, and automate real work.

"Are we using AI for building Hardwood? Absolutely. Is Hardwood vibe-coded? Absolutely not."
Coding agents are incredibly powerful, but they're no magic wand. Sharing some experiences with using AI for building a relatively low-level code base like a Parquet parser in the #Hardwood announcement ๐.
@brunoborges.bsky.social shares how AI agents translated an entire website into 8 languages overnight. A practical look at automation and multilingual content deployment.

#Java devs, want to join us at JCON Europe 2026 in Cologne ๐ฉ๐ช?
Microsoft+JCON are giving away free conference passes, but theyโre limited. Grab yours now and come talk modernization, performance, and AI with us!
๐ RSVP before they run out!

GA status matter more than version because it is the agreed commitment between customer (user) and vendor (maintainer).
And I am not here to change your mind, but to explain to you what customers tell us.
"I can't use this tool because it is not GA."
Well that excuse has expired today.
#CopilotCLI is now generally available, and it is here to stay.
I translated a site into 8 languages in one night using a fleet of @github.com Copilot Agents powered by Claude Sonnet 4.6.
112 code patterns ร 8 locales = 896 translation files. 6 agents running in parallel. All PRs merged within ~1 hour. One bug total.
dev.to/brunoborges/...
Which is why I added a feature for users to report translation errors.
I know it won't perfect. But it is a great head start!
#Java Evolved website now has localization #i18n in eight (8) languages besides English.
All translations done in a few hours with Claude Sonnet 4.6 using fleet of agents in #Copilot.

Bots dumping IBM stock because they were never paying attention to news about IBM's own AI solution to move COBOL code to Java.
Got it.
Tired of wrestling with YAML files? @brunoborges.bsky.social shows how natural language can automate your repository workflows, avoidingendless configuration syntax.

#DevTools #Automation #Java
What has not changed:
- Software remains a need.
- System architecture remains foundational.
What has changed:
- Code became a commodity.
- SDLC became agentic.
Stop writing #YAML. Start using natural language for @github.com Actions!
Watch me and @cassidoo.co deep dive into #AgenticWorkflows in this week' s Rubber Duck Thursday, to learn how to safely automate repo tasks without risk of prompt injections.

My new keyboard has arrived.
One thing people are not talking about enough is Switching Cost in this battle between Anthropic and OpenAI.
The S.C. is ZERO.
People will choose whatever model is better and cheaper.
Published some Java EE / Jakarta EE coding patterns to #JavaEvolved.
