Codetown ::: a software developer's community
Hello Codetown!
I just got this from Oracle:
We’re Moving Java Forward. Watch the Webcast Replay of the Java 7 Launch Today.
Dear Michael Levin,
Thank you for participating in the Java 7 live event and Webcast that celebrates our global community collaboration.
However, if you didn’t get a chance to join us for the live event or Webcast today, you can still watch a replay of the entire Java 7 celebration event. Just click here.
You’ll get to watch an amazing four-and-a-half-hour program that includes a one-hour general session delivered from Redwood Shores, California; London, England; and São Paulo, Brazil. You’ll see four engaging, 30-minute technical deep dives, which will provide the information you need to take immediate advantage of key Java 7 features. And, listen as an expert Q&A panel provides answers to questions submitted by the Java community via social media during the live broadcast.
But Java isn’t the only thing that’s moving forward. Duke has unleashed a new personality and is now available for a limited time in a 3-D, animated screen saver.
Thanks again for joining us in the important mission to move Java forward.
Watch the replay of the Java 7 Webcast now.
Duke and the Java Team

Hilary Mason shares her journey from academia to building AI products at scale. She discusses the shift from discrete engineering to probabilistic mindsets, explaining why managing "human considerations" is the hardest part of the stack. She explains the "existential crisis" for engineers, arguing that great architecture today is about context management, systems thinking, and good taste.

Autonomous AI agents break Kubernetes security assumptions with dynamic dependencies, multi-domain credentials, and unpredictable resource use. This article covers production-tested patterns: Job-based isolation, Vault for scoped short-lived credentials, a four-phase trust model from shadow mode to autonomous operation, and observability for non-deterministic reasoning cycles.

Broadcom has announced the contribution of Velero, its Kubernetes-native backup, restore and migration project, to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) as a Sandbox project. Velero It operates at the Kubernetes API layer, capturing cluster state through Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) rather than through hypervisor or storage-layer snapshots.
