I didn't mean to make you feel bad, I know how busy you must be. It's just we could do more to promote this site. Does the twitter thingie work for you?
Hey Mike! Conference is awesome. Hoping to post talks as soon as they're up. My talk os tomorrow! Also that's great I would love to hear his talk!!! We're doing a lot with AOP and metaprogramming
Hi Michael, nice to meet you. When is the next meeting? I may need some time to prepare and practice. The talk I'm writing outlines how we use Docker with the Gradle build tool to empower local development of cloud applications. Examples will include Grails and Spring Boot.
So cool Jim Clarke will be having a talk at OJUG! What are the chances his talk might be recorded? I have his book and am a huge fan. Love to get his view on the continued value in native development.
TornadoFX workshop should be recorded for tomorrow at Chicago GDG: I'll be sure to post in Kotlintown!
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.
When you create a profile for yourself you get a personal page automatically. That's where you can be creative and do your own thing. People who want to get to know you will click on your name or picture and…
AWS has announced the general availability of DevOps Agent, a generative AI–powered assistant designed to help developers and operators troubleshoot issues, analyze deployments, and automate operational tasks across AWS environments.
Pulumi has announced that Bun is now a fully supported runtime for Pulumi, going beyond its previous role as merely a package manager option. With the new release of Pulumi 3.227.0, developers can set runtime: bun in their Pulumi.yaml and have Bun execute their entire infrastructure program, with no Node.js installation required.
Effect v4 beta, a TypeScript framework for building applications, features a complete rewrite of its core fiber runtime, offering reduced memory usage and smaller bundle sizes. The new release consolidates ecosystem packages under a single version number and introduces unstable modules for rapid feature development. Migration guides are available for users transitioning from v3 to v4.
The C++26 standard draft is now complete, reports Herb Sutter, long-time C++ expert and former chair of the ISO C++ standards committee. The finalized draft introduces reflection, enhances memory safety without requiring code rewrites, adds contracts with preconditions and postconditions alongside a new assertion statement, and establishes a unified framework for concurrency and parallelism.
Meta introduces Just-in-Time (JiT) testing, a dynamic approach that generates tests during code review instead of relying on static test suites. The system improves bug detection by ~4x in AI-assisted development using LLMs, mutation testing, and intent-aware workflows like Dodgy Diff. It reflects a shift toward change-aware, AI-driven software testing in agentic development environments

Thanks so much for the birthday wishes. I know it's so late getting back to you but I don't check this website very often.
Thanks for the invitation and the birthday wishes, Mike!
Thanks. I'm interested either way (either 10/25 or the rescheduled day).
Sure Mike. I can do that

Thank you MIchael!
Thank you Mike for making me a part of this group. I feel very welcomed. Looking forward to learn and share!
Thanks Michael, to have me in the group!
I think I’d want to attend a few meetings to get a flavor for the group before jumping into a speaking role…
Thanks Michael for adding me in OJUG
I'm excited to attend events on Java related technologies
Thanx Michael, great to be here
