People who don't show up at a BBQ 😵‍💫🤐🫣. Too bad, I really enjoyed it!

Oh no did I miss the famous Java BBQ? Or was this 'just' a BBQ?

A vacancy mentions unlimited paid time off and then recommends 4 weeks off per year... which is actually the legal minimum in The Netherlands 🤐. Doesn't sound that unlimited. Luckily my current job offers 40 days off (vacation + 'ADV').

Closing the latest chapter in my career. Actively looking to get started with the next one. If you’re looking for a seasoned developer for DevRel, DevOps, and/or engineering roles, let’s chat!

No one with an opinion on the one below? 😃 I basically need to poll something and wait in between...

Using #java 25. How would you handle Thread.sleep without blocking? With a virtual thread, CompletableFuture or ...

Big thanks to the @oracleace.bsky.social program for organizing everything!

@oracleace.bsky.social extended my ACE Pro status for another years thanks to my contributions to the #Java community. Got some great swag as well. Especially the umbrellas will come in handy with the current Dutch weather 😅🌧.

Johan Janssen @johanjanssen.bsky.social · 30/10/2025

I already made those changes 😃

Johan Janssen @johanjanssen.bsky.social · 30/10/2025

Not yet I only made changes to make sure I could build the application. Will try that next.

Johan Janssen @johanjanssen.bsky.social · 29/10/2025

Tried #springboot 4 RC1, only required a few small changes on our project. Looks like to migration to 4 will be easy 😁. So make sure to upgrade to #Java 25 and then next month to Spring Boot 4. Use a tool like dependabot or Renovate to upgrade your dependencies and stay up to date.

For some reason the builders weren't working even with the latest version. Adding Lombok as dependency to the Maven compiler fixed it. We now use things like IO instead of System.out and main classes without public static. Relatively simple stuff for now which OpenRewrite did for us.

Johan Janssen @johanjanssen.bsky.social · 06/10/2025

Haha, I have to thank a colleague for adding those spices 😉

010

Johan Janssen @johanjanssen.bsky.social · 06/10/2025

Upgrading from #java 21 to #java 25 was easy. Only had to fix a Lombok issue. All in all it cost me a couple of hours (less then half a day): some discussion, change build plan, change Maven POM, fix issue, run @openrewrite.github.io so we use the new language features and PR review and merge.

Wow what a view, congratulations!

Congratulations, well deserved! Was great using your books at university.

I was awarded the Gatling Master title: hubs.ly/Q03hbxR10. I have been using Gatling for many years and wrote/presented about it. It's an awesome tool if you want to do performance testing on, for example, REST based messages, Kafka messages, or Websockets.

Did you already walk across the Skywalk bridge in Willingen? If not try, it's a cool and bit scary experience.

It's awesome that the recording is now published. I had a great tim in Australia at the YOW! Conferences. Hope to go back someday 😀.

I bought a Samsung Galaxy A55 last year for way less. Works like a charm.

Johan Janssen @johanjanssen.bsky.social · 03/03/2025

No problem, I maintained them for quite some years 😃.

010

Johan Janssen @johanjanssen.bsky.social · 03/03/2025

I'm not sure, maybe GitHub is the best place for contact: github.com/ajshastri. Before there was also a link on the Chocolatey package site to contact a maintainer, but I couldn't find it on my phone.

github.com

ajshastri - Overview

ajshastri has 23 repositories available. Follow their code on GitHub.

Johan Janssen @johanjanssen.bsky.social · 03/03/2025

I don't think that's possible right now. But I no longer maintain them, so better to ask the current maintainer 🙂. If not, you could create a short wrapper script that installs Temurin with Chocolatey and then sets the env variable.

Johan Janssen @johanjanssen.bsky.social · 22/02/2025

If everyone would follow the rules, then presentations and life would be quite boring 😄.

010

Johan Janssen @johanjanssen.bsky.social · 21/02/2025

Only 140 slides, what did you do during the time that was left? 😅😉

000

Johan Janssen @johanjanssen.bsky.social · 21/02/2025

Yes indeed, personally I rather have some more simple slides with pictures and/or short text then a few slides with a lot of text. But I also enjoy people telling a good and long story with just one slide, or none at all 😀.

110

Johan Janssen @johanjanssen.bsky.social · 21/02/2025

There aren't many people crazy enough to jump on stage 😁.

100

Johan Janssen @johanjanssen.bsky.social · 21/02/2025

I definitely appreciate feedback as well. But they brought it as if I had never presented before. They even kept going after I told them that I spent 43 days travelling/speaking at conferences last year. Also, the feedback wasn't based on my presentation but just generic stuff.

100

Johan Janssen @johanjanssen.bsky.social · 21/02/2025

I was told I should have max 1 slide per 2 minutes. In hindsight, that probably is a good reference for some colleagues who put so much text on a slide that it takes 2 minutes to read it 😇.

200

Johan Janssen @johanjanssen.bsky.social · 21/02/2025

🤣 yeah, that's a good one, I met quite a few of them 😉.

010

Johan Janssen @johanjanssen.bsky.social · 21/02/2025

Ah, yes, that might be the reason 🤣

020

Johan Janssen @johanjanssen.bsky.social · 21/02/2025

It's so funny if people tell you how to give a presentation. For example, how many slides to use etc. Of course, after giving many presentations, you can still improve stuff, but still, getting these kinds of advice from people who probably hardly presented in public themselves feels awkward.

I felt old today when I realised that I had been working with Docker for about 11 years 😇. At least my experience was useful when helping a colleague with a Docker issue.

Johan Janssen @johanjanssen.bsky.social · 11/02/2025

Antwerp also has Belgium fries right? 😅 But indeed 😆.

010

Johan Janssen @johanjanssen.bsky.social · 11/02/2025

Maybe we can someday make it work to have a real presentation instead of a remote one 😉.

100

Johan Janssen @johanjanssen.bsky.social · 11/02/2025

Now I'm hungry and want some Belgium fries 😁.

Thanks for sharing the article. It's interesting to see the foundations growth. I hope it helps the projects to continue their work and get the required funding.

Time flies indeed, congratulations!

Awesome, I received my new wardrobe for the coming year. It's great to be part of the @javachampions.bsky.social program and thanks Jim/Oracle for shipping the swag!
