In a Docker container. Inside a Kubernetes cluster. Running in a VM. On top of a Hypervisor. In someone else's datacenter.

No. Fucking. Clue.
Rock/Paper/Scissors implemented with #Java25 in Game.java. Run with "java Game.java" and JDK 25.
void main() {
IO.println("rock/paper/scissors:");
var u = IO.readln();
if (u.equals("exit")) return;
var c = "rock,paper,scissors".split(",");
var i = List.of(c).indexOf(u);
if (i < 0) return;
var j = new Random().nextInt(3);
IO.println("Computer: " + c[j]);
IO.println(i == j ? "Tie!" : (i == (j + 1) % 3 ? "You win!" : "Computer wins!"));
}
Only pro here is that you don't need to write #yaml anymore...
Kubernetes migration almost killed our startup.
Where we were:
- 8 EC2 instances
- Ansible for deploys
- Boring but working
- $1200/month AWS bill
Why we migrated:
- New investor wanted 'cloud-native'
- Engineers wanted K8s experience
- Competitors were using it
- Seemed like the future
6 months later:
- 3 engineers spending full-time on K8s
- AWS bill at $4500/month
- Deploys took longer than before
- More outages, not fewer
- Product development stalled
We rolled back:
- Moved to ECS Fargate
- 2 week migration
- Back to $1800/month
- Engineers back on features
K8s is amazing for scale. We weren't at scale. Technology should solve problems you actually have.
I'm speaking next week at @VanJUG (Vancouver Java User Group) on Upgrading beyond #Java 8 with AI.
Dive into how AI tools + modern Java = smarter upgrades & better code.

I am happy to share that this is my first day at @datadoghq 😁 I am going to work with the Continuous Profiling team around @hirt . Really looking forward to exciting new challenges! ✌️
People with less than 5,000 followers, with tweets that have hundreds of reposts, thousands of likes, hundreds of thousands of impressions.
TF is going on? Are these folks paying for engagement?
Really smart use of @playwrightweb and #Java by @glaforge in this article on how to drive a web browser with Gemini's Computer Use model in Java, with the Playwright Java SDK.

"Much of the most valuable Gen AI usage will grow out of existing business applications, rather than be wholly new. These applications will draw on existing domain models and infrastructure, and be more robust and useful as a result."

"#Java has maintained relevance through all of the waves that we’ve seen over the last couple of decades – it is the exemplar of a general purpose programming language and runtime."

Trip to Brazil ending, and now at the airport.
Just saw someone with Microsoft Word opened, writing a document word by word, letter by letter, without using AI.... Like a sociopath.
