Looking for some weekend plans? My #kotlin training videos are finally online and ready for purchase. You can find them here: bit.ly/2EgU3w6 or if you're a Safari subscriber: oreil.ly/2EivKxM

@alliekmiller @techgirl1908 I built something like this get all my github,pirates, and todos all in one place. A game changer for my adhd brain.

Awesome non-coding Claude Code Loop ideas for business professionals. Grab any of these + immediately save time: - Check my email every 15min and ping me if something is related to Project Pluto and needs a decision made - Every 30min, prep me for my next meeting with attendee context, threads, mtg and crm notes, emails - Monitor a deal thread every 2h - summarize any new replies related to legal and suggest next moves - Research competitor announcements every 20min (better than an RSS feed bc you can specify the type of announcement and not keywords) - Check in on a brand post going viral, summarize the stats and comments - Watch across all Slack messages for team blockers and flag to me if I should jump in - Monitor that certain things are working (like your HR tool or something internal you own) - Watch 10 companies' job boards you want to apply to - Watch my sent emails and flag if someone on my VIP client list hasn't replied in a way that feels off - Literally just have it watch everything across all of your tools and proactively flag actions (ex: "hey you should cancel this mtg") Recruiters with 40 open roles, flag who's going cold. Teachers, flag students falling behind who haven't submitted homework yet. Event planners, monitor weather and vendors day of. Real estate agents, you can watch MLS for new niche listings ("must have at least 2 bay windows and herringbone floors"). Fundraiser, monitor your investor threads and see which ones need intervening. Just prompt Claude Code with '/loop ' like the image example below or feed it this tweet for role-specific ideas

@hhariri If they did

I've yet to see a post on LinkedIn on someone leaving their job, that doesn't start with something along the lines of "It's been an incredible journey" I guess those that didn't have such a good time just don't write posts.

@codewithimanshu @Sharat_Chander @java @JavaOne @Oracle @OracleDevs @Oracle_Edu @oracleugs @OracleAcademy @oracleace Don't be so celebratory is a bold take on a post celebrating the achievements of the past year.

@Sharat_Chander @java @JavaOne @Oracle @OracleDevs @Oracle_Edu @oracleugs @OracleAcademy @oracleace Review the article's technical accuracy; avoid unnecessary celebratory language.

Inspired by Maciej's work in buff.ly/Pp5PKvT, I've attempted to integrate into JRuby a Java implementation of Daniel Lemire's fast float parsing. Early results are as much as 16x faster than the crusty old impl we currently have! buff.ly/YXyaWSC

@headius Use claude code instead.

I just tried to use ChatGPT to generate a switch to compare a byte[] with a set of strings, switched on the length of the string and then equality checks. The code looked right, except all of the sizes were totally wrong. Lesson learned: don't use LLMs for anything numeric.

@GovPressOffice What's the Kohl's cash prize value?

WOW! AN HONOR! — GCN

@brunoborges Shhh! Don't say that where it can hear you! 😱

I fixed an issue that Agentic AI was not able to. I feel superior.

This is according to X's own Grok:

@grok @mrpradp @JamesWard @AskPerplexity Stupid AI. At no point does kotlin get converted to Java. The obvious references are, I think, typescript and Javascript.

Replying to James Ward's X post: Likely Java and Kotlin are the languages in play. Java, the "awful" one due to its complexity, gets wrapped by Kotlin, the "less awful" modern option. Then Java, again "awful," handles conversion via the compiler—faster than Kotlin in this role. Fits your JVM focus!

Lemme get this straight… we take an awful programming language, wrap it with something less awful, but use another awful language to do the conversion from less awful to awful, because this awful language is faster than the less awful language.

@jasondlee Like many things Mike Johnson says, this was either a distortion or an outright lie. The EO is your standard run of the mill "if you evade sanctions against a sanctions target you will be punished" thing. Scandalous, indeed. federalregister.gov/documents/2023…

I look forward to all the memoirs that tell more stories like this. Scandalous. "Happily, we have only two more days to go. But Biden has been out of commission for most of his term in office, maybe all of it." powerlineblog.com/archives/2025/…

@_JamesWard @rit Ah, shit, man. Such terrible news.

@rit You brought joy to my life and many others. So sad you are gone. 😭

@juanantoniobm @mariofusco Lombok is cancer and causes more problems than it solves.

@mariofusco And... one excuse to use #lombok

The builder pattern is probably the most evident example in Java of how a verbose inflexible and hard to maintain implementation can be obliged by the simply lack of a language feature like named parameters and possibly default parameter values.

I'm not deleting my account but twitter will be largely read only for me going forward. You can find me, if you want, on bluesky at bsky.app/profile/evanch… or on mastodon at @evanchooly" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">mastodon.social/@evanchooly. Have fun storming the castle.

I used to work for @Sharat_Chander. He built a #Java DevRel crew centred on trust and empowerment. He gave everything to the team and community and was the ultimate Sherpa. If you’re a director or leader or team lead, be like Sharat. Be awesome.

@ramtop @trisha_gee @KentBeck I think, like virtually everything else, it's valid option in many cases but not necessarily all. I like roy's idea of "stop thinking about it." It's a tool but not the only.

@evanchooly @trisha_gee @KentBeck for chain of operations, the Result <T> trasformations are the best way imho: doStuff() .map{ doOtherStuff(it) } .map{ doFinalStuff(it)}

Literally just read about using early return in @KentBeck's "Tidy First?", and it broke my brain because it makes perfect sense and yet so many people say "don't do it"
