Did you know @vaadin.com 24.8 now offers a super-simple way to share feedback? 🚀

Give the Beta a spin and tell us what you think (how meta)!

Sometimes (often) #ChatGPT UX is quite confusing. It does not say why Research is not available, and "plain" 4o can't read a file AND reference the web? Sigh.

I need a flow diagram to figure out what model and mode combination works with which features.

Running a Deep Research analysis with Gemini in one window, while summarizing a long report with ChatGPT in another does make me feel a bit like an "agent boss".
I might need more screens, though – is someone working on a control room for agents?

The @github.com Copilot "chat" is apparently only allowed to create novel code, and it makes it almost unusable.

Hear me out: Let's have "Vibe coding", but for Java apps that mean business! Here's me going from zero to full-stack @vaadin.com #Java #SpringBoot #Security #JPA using a prototype Copilot running in @intellijidea.com
Thoughts on the concept? Should we do Copilot, MCP, or both?

Can anyone fill me in a little bit on how LLMs handle different languages?
I mean am I better off doing prompts in English even though the material, context, or response will be in say Swedish? How about vector lookups? How about Finnish that is in some cases fundamentally different?

I shared a controversial take the other day at an event and I decided to write it down in a longer format: I’m afraid AI won't give us a "compressed 21st century"

In the latest Javascript Jabber there was a mention of ”web essentials” – did you get the list, and can you share it? Ping @danshappir.bsky.social / @cmaxw.bsky.social

Have you heard someone mention @vaadin.com, but aren't completely sure what it is?

In this 3-minute hands-on video I show how we help #Java developers build web apps faster with UI components, the Flow and Hilla frameworks, and the new Copilot assistant.

If all AI voice interactions would start with a quick #GibberLink "hello", that would allow 1) humans to recognize they are talking to AI, and 2) AIs to recognize each other and "upgrade".

If you had a voice AI assistant working alongside you in applications, what would you like it to do for you?

For example, would it be useful for it to be able to interact with the UI like here? github.com/marcushellb...

I had the opportunity to grab a Waymo with @joonas.bsky.social in San Francisco this fall, and it was one of those moments where you just kind of go ”yup, this is a glimpse of the future”.

Finally some innovation in the UUID space! 😉
how do you all remember every UUID? I find it really hard. so I wrote them all down on every uuid dot com

the list has fast search across all 2^122 values (so you can find your favorites) - hoping to add some social features like "trending UUIDs" soon!

One year ago, I rejoined Vaadin to help guide the product in a fresh new direction. I'm immensely proud of what our team has achieved over the past 12 months. Five weeks ago, I had the privilege of summarizing what we build at our annual user conference.

This year I apparently spent 5,498 minutes listening to podcasts like these.
(And I can already tell the list will look different next year – stay tuned 😉)

Which podcasts do you listen to? Any suggestions?
