Happy to see Java evolve and improve the on-ramps for new developers! 😍

In this blog post, I shortly describe the impact JEP 330 and 445 have on teaching #java and how this (with a little push) could convince bootcamps to teach Java instead of JS /🐍.

Dear absolutist,

Please know that we all don’t have the same extreme either/or, cut and dry, “black and white” view of the world as you do. It makes conversations with you nearly impossible when you assume this to be true about everyone. (🧵)

In 2022, @OverstrandMuni residents helped the municipality come first in the Great Southern BioBlitz, an international survey competition to record the largest amount of biodiversity in designated areas.

R630m from @UIFBenefits left South Africa after a R1.37bn investment in #BountyBrands, and then bankrolled a R530m dividend paid to offshore accounts. @dailymaverick’s latest investigation unpacks the complex cash flows behind the dubious dividend… https://t.co/2VebqXWx0Z

Remember this desperate call for help to save life’s of children. Upholding the Hippocratic Oath and living by a code of ethics sadly lacking in Gvt. In return Dr Tim de Maayer has been suspended by GDoH for speaking out for the benefit of the vulnerable.! @WitsHealthFac

@joshilewis @disneyplus Well spotted, I think I missed that! Very worrying 😐

My home of South Africa is going through an extraordinarily difficult time, and while I know much of the world is in pain right now, and a lot is being asked of us as global citizens, I'm hoping you'll find it in your heart to help.
