Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Chasing Efficient Java Development: From 1BRC to Developing Hardwood AI Natively
Q: How has Java evolved over the past few years and what does that mean for practitioners?
Java has gained newer APIs and memory management improvements (Vector API, foreign memory, ZGC, compact object headers) that unlock performance and scalability, while upgrades should be framed in terms of business value like performance and observability rather than just language features.
Chasing Efficient Java Development: From 1BRC to Developing Hardwood AI Natively
Q: Can you introduce yourself and tell us about your work?
I'm Gunnar Morling, with a background in Java data tooling including Hibernate, Bean Validation, Debezium, and now exploring new projects at Confluent that fuse Java with data systems and real-time processing.
Roq: Leveraging Quarkus to Build Static Sites at the Speed of Go
Q: But before, Andy, can you please introduce yourself and then tell us what actually Roq is?
I'm Andy Damevin, a full-stack developer who loves Java and UI, and Roq is a static seed generator built on Quarkus that lets you create static sites without requiring you to know Java; it uses Quarkus behind the scenes to provide speed and a great developer experience.
From Java EE to Quarkus and LLMs: Adam Bien’s Playbook for Boring, Future‑Proof Systems
Q: Please introduce yourself.
Adam Bien describes himself as a veteran in Java, who remains deeply engaged with Java, free to work as a freelancer since 1997, and focused on practical, project-driven talks rather than prepared speeches.
How SBOMs and Engineering Discipline Can Help You Avoid Trivy’s Compromise
Q: What are the practical benefits of SBOMs for developers beyond meeting regulatory requirements?
SBOMs provide a foundation for security audits, license compliance, and the ability to trace exactly which components and transitive dependencies are involved in a release, enabling targeted remediation and safer evolution of software.
