I was happy to learn @josepaumard.bsky.social answers the most important question in this short: is the coffee still warm?

That's definitely an interesting element to discuss and consider.

Recently wrote a pet project site using php (omg boomer 😅) that generates plain html + css for visitors as I didn't want to bother maintaining the latest js framework fad with a database. It's insanely fast and accessible 🏃‍♂️

Edutainment in DevRel is possible.
Even for backend technology, like #Java.
Proven by @maritvandijk.bsky.social and yours sincerely ;-)

As mentioned in the article AI/LLMs are not the cause, but act as an accelerator. I'm still (😅) waiting for the hype to end and see the true value the AI solutions of the past years will bring us.

The moment they augment you, they feel great. Yet there's often cases where they fail. Badly.

Interesting to see the 'lost generation' mentioned, it also popped up in Cassandra Chin's keynote at #Devoxx and I voiced it as my main concern (already!) two years ago.

Looking for a hotel, notice 'ruin of a villa' on the map nearby - checking it out, and it's somewhat lackluster 🙃

"I would trust this man with my tests, he seems to be testing lots of things!" 😂

Both are great talks, even if you think testing is 😔 they are guaranteed to change your mind. Daniel's Devoxx' original is available at www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5fo... and Tim's at www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7sX... 👍

Working on rendering the first batch of ING Backend Summit 2025 recordings and @garnier.wf promoting @timtebeek.github.io 's talk just made my day 🤣🤩

Daniel explaining why Tim knows how to assert tests accurately.

Can we also get a classic ordering by score (and number of votes when equal)?

Some of the talks seem to be hallucinated to a lower or higher spot - they must have upset the agents in their talks 😂

Tip from Devoxx BE this year: ask your fellow speakers for feedback before you submit 🤗

I've reviewed hundreds of JFokus submissions. Three tips to stand out: 1) Show what attendees will learn, 2) Explain what makes YOU the right speaker for this topic, 3) Polish your title and abstract - they're your pitch. Competition is fierce (up to 10:1 ratio), so make every word count.

I did enjoy a nice vibecoded 404 page the first attempt 🤩

"...and at the end, all the tests were passing."

I've seen them do it. Lots of other devs have seen them do it.

LLMs will sometimes cheat to make test suites green. They'll change assertions, comment out failing tests, set them to be ignored, or just plain delete them.

Two words: mutation testing

As you've responded, you know the answer to this already 😔

I know and definitely will 👍

Might take a few months though, organising can be somewhat chaotic at times 😅

Does adding it to the "must watch #Devoxx '25 talks" I'll share with my colleagues next week count? 🤔

Two new CfPs submitted for next year, just in time.

And now... Time to submit a CfP and let things sink in over the weekend 😅

Home after a long week at #Devoxx - met so many wonderful people with inspiring insights in both the rooms and at the hallway track! Hope to be back next year 👍
