jSpirit is a new Java unconference in the Bavarian alps. Starting in Winter 2018, we’re down for Spirits, Ski & JAVA. How does that sound do you?
Spirits
jSpirit is the first Java (un)conference ever being held in a distillery (at least to our knowledge). And it’s not just any distillery – it’s Europe’s most modern distillery: Lantenhammer Erlebnisdestillerie Hausham!
By the way: we are renting the entire distillery: lunch will be served in the main storage depot between all the whisky, gin, rum and schnapps barrels. And we can hold sessions everywhere, even right by the stills!
Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.

Uber has open-sourced uForwarder, a push-based Kafka consumer proxy built to handle trillions of messages and multiple petabytes of data daily. The system introduces context-aware routing, head-of-line blocking mitigation, adaptive auto-rebalancing, and partition-level delay processing to improve scalability, workload isolation, and hardware efficiency in large-scale event-driven microservices.

TSSLint 3, the lightweight TypeScript linting tool by Johnson Chu, enhances performance with a reduced dependencies and improved migration paths from legacy linters. As a spiritual successor to TSLint, it offers near-instant diagnostics and fixes, leveraging native Node support for .ts imports. Enhanced developer tooling and a new TSL compatibility layer simplify linting in large-scale projects.

This article presents a least-privilege AI Agent Gateway that places clear controls between AI agents and infrastructure. Agents do not access infrastructure APIs directly. Instead, every request is validated, authorized using policy as code with Open Policy Agent (OPA), and executed in short-lived, isolated environments, with built-in observability using OpenTelemetry.
By Nabin DebnathIn this podcast, Michael Stiefel spoke with Chris Richardson about using microservices to modernize software applications and the use of artificial intelligence in software architecture. We first discussed the problems of monolithic enterprise software and how to use microservices to evolve them to enable fast flow - the ability to achieve rapid software delivery.

Anthropic research shows developers using AI assistance scored 17% lower on comprehension tests when learning new coding libraries, though productivity gains were not statistically significant. Those who used AI for conceptual inquiry scored 65% or higher, while those delegating code generation to AI scored below 40%.
