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.

Stéphane Di Cesare discusses DKB's experience introducing a product mindset within their platform team, explaining their definition of a platform team, the rationale behind the shift, and their journey including challenges, goals, and key learnings around user value, platform definition, maturity models, and effective communication strategies for senior software developers and engineering leaders.
This article explores the use of domain-specific Generative AI, models that understand operational constraints, real-world dynamics, and business rules to generate executable strategies, not just text descriptions. These models require significantly smaller datasets and fewer parameters, making them cost-effective while enabling AI-driven core business decision intelligence at scale.
The Bun team recently released Bun v1.2, with major progress regarding compatibility with Node.js, a key component of Bun’s value proposition. Bun 1.2 also now has a built-in S3 object storage API and a built-in Postgres client that comes in addition to the existing built-in SQLite client.
OpenAI released a new version of GPT-4o with native image generation capability. The model can modify uploaded images or create new ones from prompts and exhibits multi-turn consistency when refining images and improved generation of text in images.
