Rarely checked. You can find me on Mastadon instead.

I work on @SpringBoot and @SpringRestDocs at @VMware. iOS developer at @DeftMethods.

I'm talking (virtually) at the Philly JUG next Tuesday about what's new in Spring Boot 3.

Come join the fun https://t.co/hgtvxvUWfm

[Andy Wilkinson @ankinson]

@afrunt @springboot @starbuxman Yeah, it was removed in 2.0. We recommend using a Servlet Filter instead: https://t.co/Xa74xpHRpH

[Spring Operations @springops]

Second brownout of Spring Releases from https://t.co/2I42ugHxXm is getting underway.
Spring Releases will not be available from the repository, virtual repositories will not resolve snapshots and milestones anonymously.

[DaShaun @dashaun]

“Test Driven Documentation” is the other TDD.

@springrestdocs brings me joy.

[Adi Polak @AdiPolak]

Recent layoffs truly sadden me.
Amazon - 18k folks
Astronomer - 20%
Salesforce, Compass, and so on 😞

🤝If you are one of those and looking to network. I’m hosting a networking event for data practitioners on Jan 24 in SF w/ hiring manager and recruiters.
Let’s help each other.

NEW:

Britain’s grim winter of strikes, falling incomes and a worsening NHS crisis is not some unfortunate series of events

It’s the inevitable result of a decade of Tory austerity that steadily weakened the state’s capacity to respond to shocks

@SurenaXMarie @scribblingfox Very nice. The art style reminds me a little of Hollow Knight.

[Andy Wilkinson @ankinson]

@maciejwalkowiak I have a feeling that some folks saying virtual threads are going to be disappointed. They’re being billed as a silver bullet. IMO, they’ll just be another tool in the box, useful in some situations and not in others. It would be exciting for the JVM if I’m wrong. Time will tell.

[Andy Wilkinson @ankinson]

@rotnroll666 @maciejwalkowiak That’s the typical arrangement in a multi-module project and one that we hope to be straightforward. Maybe it is a Maven limitation. Regardless, it feels like there’s room for improvement somewhere a bit more central so that each app doesn’t need to jump through hoops.

[Andy Wilkinson @ankinson]

@maciejwalkowiak That sounds like something that could be improved in Boot itself. If you haven’t done so already (I am on holiday so avoiding the issue tracker) can you please open an issue so that we can take a look in the new year?

If you’re looking for some cheap thrills for Christmas, THE PRANK is £2.29 on ebook at the moment. I have no idea how long for! THE TWINS paperback is also priced at £4.50. Hurrah! @welbeckpublish🎄🎄🎄

[Sandra Ahlgrimm @sKriemhild]

Hi, @springboot devs! Have you already used the SpringBoot Dashboard Extension in VS @code?

@Ganapathi004 @snicoll Sorry, @snicoll and I are both out of the office at the moment. Someone else on the team will take a look when they have time.

[Andy Wilkinson @ankinson]

@pati_gallardo I’m left-handed and learned how to use right-handed scissors in my left hand as a young child. My primary school then got some left-handed scissors and I was expected to use them. It was a disaster. I just couldn’t unlearn my right-handed scissors technique.

[Tommy Ludwig @TommyLudwig]

The Micrometer team will be meeting in person next week for planning. Is there any feedback on @micrometerio you want to share with the team?

[GraalVM @graalvm]

Help us improve GraalVM!📝
Tell us what we should add or change: https://t.co/g1CzWK0Ccx

[Andy Wilkinson @ankinson]

@maciejwalkowiak So the ideal is that a project has its own hints. The shared reachability metadata repository is then a good fallback. A central repository benefits the whole community, no matter how they’re using Graal.

[Andy Wilkinson @ankinson]

@maciejwalkowiak There has been reluctance among some projects to accept native hints. Projects have limited bandwidth and, quite reasonably, don’t want the burden of supporting Graal until they feel it’s critical to enough of their users. https://t.co/CiiFzoexDj is one example.

[Andy Wilkinson @ankinson]

@sanderino666 Thank you. If you haven’t already seen it, @MGrzejszczak’s migration guide may be useful: https://t.co/9MtQPmcyuB

[Andy Wilkinson @ankinson]

The next generation of Spring Boot is here! Massive thank you to everyone who's helped with this release.

Spring Boot 3 goes GA today! Join me in taking a deep dive into the native image support in Spring Boot 3. Many thanks to @snicoll for taking time to review my article and providing valuable corrections and inputs! #springboot #graalvm #nativeimage https://t.co/dDWh3xlocS
