Interested in people’s experiences with config languages such as jsonnet, pkl, cue or other?

I'm looking for a new job.
Fully remote since I'm living in the Japanese countryside, but I'm flexible on working hours.

If you know someone that needs a Kotlin/Java backend engineer with also experience in leading teams and mentoring please pm me.

Retweets are appreciated!

Here are a few #Java and #JVM and #OpenJDK related starter packs:

Java Developer Community: bsky.app/starter-pack...

Java & JVM: bsky.app/starter-pack...

Java Champions: bsky.app/starter-pack...

Looking forward to reviewing your submissions 🙂

I’m specifically keen to see platform engineering related content and practical real world experience reports

I really need to remind myself of this more often…

Allowing too much work-in-progress (WIP) is to the detriment of myself, my team, my org… in fact more or less everything!

I recommend this book in this space:

Making Work Visible by Dominica Degrandis

Does anyone have any advice on how I might further spread the word of my new Sonic Pi course?

Marketing isn’t something I have much knowledge or experience of so I’d really appreciate some advice.

One of my favourite blogs I’ve written over the years captured the strength of the Java community on Twitter, it feels like BlueSky is going to provide the same which is awesome 🙂

#Java developers, here's a 2nd pack of Java Community luminaries. #Bluesky limits 150 individuals per pack.

This starter pack is growing quite nicely 😀

I'm aware we have more and more Java people joining every day so please let me know of any one that should be included

There is also a Java Champion starter pack go.bsky.app/CfRBzuP

Apparently there's another wave of people joining currently, so reposting this thread of starter packs for tech folks 👇

Please let me know of anyone you think is missing from this starter pack? #Java #JVM

Not sure if a starter pack for key Java & JVM folks exists already but here’s one I’ve started to put together, hope people find it useful 🙂
