@clairevo This. You had me at "creation is embarrassing." I'm a technologist by trade, and only after beginning my journey in improvisational theatre did I realise just how much we/they repress genuine and spur of the moment creativity once we become "grown ups."

[Vasco Veloso @vveloso]

@JohanHutting @alina_yurenko @JNationConf Yes, it does. I've filed the submission already.

[Vasco Veloso @vveloso]

@StooCrock @JohnScottUK @allenholub Indeed. Might I add that it takes creativity, experimentation, time, and a lot of refactoring for chefs to come up with a novel dish for their restaurant? To stick with the restaurant analogy, that's the closest thing to software development, IMHO.

@JohanHutting @fniephaus @dashaun @alina_yurenko @starbuxman @graalvm Guess what, @alina_yurenko? I found something interesting today. TLDR: cover all angles and cross-check your load testing results with other tools. The jury is still out on the most important factor, but tooling and environment play an essential role in this mystery.

@JohanHutting @fniephaus @dashaun @alina_yurenko @starbuxman @graalvm Once you start peeking into the rabbit hole, it's very difficult not to fall in. I suspect that this one is quite deep...

[Johan Hutting @JohanHutting]

Curious what a JVM developer can do to build efficient, sustainable software and measure it?
Join @vveloso and me this afternoon at #DWX24 17:00 in room Budapest where we'll both reason why as well as measure improvements with a live demo of Spring, Quarkus and Micronaut!

[Johan Hutting @JohanHutting]

Excited to announce I'll be co-presenting with Vasco at the Developer week in July on how native Java can help developers build sustainable efficient software and how to measure this. Hope to see you there!

Just as it is a good practice to make all fields private unless they need greater visibility, it is a good practice to make all fields final unless they need to be mutable. - Brian Goetz

News from #BuildStuffConf: API-First: from design to development by @vveloso ! 🗣️👾

[Build Stuff | Software Development Conference @BuildStuffConf]

@vveloso has been developing software for over twenty years. From assembly, through C, C++, and Prolog, to Java, Scala, and Kotlin, on big and small computers, from floppy disks to SSDs, on-premises, and cloud, he's been there, done that, and used it.

@jlengrand Catastrophic backpack failure?

[Vasco Veloso @vveloso]

@de_havas @PaulGardinerDJ @MikeyMcBryan It may still be available in the Plex streaming service. I guess it depends on where you're located. I'm starting the second season.

[Vasco Veloso @vveloso]

@jlengrand Good for your network? Sure! During lunch or coffee breaks only...
