I finally lost my shit about so-called AIs, LLMs, enshittification & everything fucking evil that @officialgrammarly.bsky.social is doing. I'm fucking furious, and not just about what 1 company has done. An open letter to Grammarly & the rest of the LLM hype machine www.moryan.com/an-open-lett...
This was a really interesting read, and sparked some ideas in my brain about other places to use AI
Naming things is hard, but names aren't the only words that cause problems in software development. Wed 18th Mar, join us in-person for DDD London: a free workshop with Tobias Brennecke, to help you solve these project-wrecking communication problems.

Haft en trevlig dag idag på #BeautyInCode (vet inte om jag är den enda på Bsky som var där).
Bra snack av bland annat @dylanbeatt.ie och @trishagee.bsky.social!
Alltid skönt att höra lite försvar av TDD. Jag insåg även att min CSS-kunskap är föråldrad och behöver uppdateras 😅
Bra jobb, LivingIt!
Stupid time only going in one direction
Words I never expected to read.
I don't normally travel to a conference on a Friday. It's weird to be surrounded by younger people going on weekend trips abroad instead of businessmen in suits
I can't tell you how excited I am that there's a new direct flight between @heathrow.com and Sevilla. Might seem like a small thing but this going to save me time, money and lots of effort!
Excellent article from @charleshumble.bsky.social, a must-read for all developers

#GOTOpodcast: Rod Johnson, @poutsma.bsky.social, and @trishagee.bsky.social unpack where Spring has been and what’s next.
* Backward compatibility vs. modern paradigms
* Java & Spring are closer than ever
* Modular monoliths are back (kind of)
and more

When a Java Rockstar & the author of Optimising Java talks about performance, you listen
We're thrilled to host Ben Evans for a masterclass on Method Handles. Despite being introduced in Java 7, many devs still default to the inferior Reflection API & Ben is here to change that. luma.com/gmkf3hnb
AI programming is changing everything, but are you catching the mistakes? When AI assistants generate 10X more code than you normally would, the feedback loop breaks.
This week's video is on how to make the most of of these ai tools ➡️ youtu.be/XavrebMKH2A
One stage. One legendary mind. One chance.💥

Once you notice society's base reluctance to refer to women as "geniuses" with the same frequency they do as men, no matter how talented or influential she may be, it's a thing you never really stop noticing.

Does it frustrate you that there's never any time to learn stuff or do new things at work? I gave a keynote at @devoxx.uk about how to sell what you want to do to the business - how to get time or money to invest in a new idea or new way of doing things:

Spring Then & Now: Join Rod Johnson, @poutsma.bsky.social & @trishagee.bsky.social at GOTO Copenhagen 2025 for a live discussion on Spring’s evolution, lessons learned, and what’s next for developers.
While dev teams celebrate the speed of "AI" coding assistants, business stakeholders are increasingly asking why they're not getting to their destination any faster.
Allow me to explain.

Very good summary mainly about the findings of the last DORA report.
Fix the basics, LLM-based tooling may help. The basics are not sound, the firehose of code production will create more problems than it solves.
A theme that really stood out at @gradle.com's DPE Summit conference is that while developers feel productive using GenAI for coding, this isn't necessarily translating into more features/fixes/customer value for organisations. So I wrote a blog post about it
