Loïc Magnette

Earlier this year, I wrote about Java as a scripting language. Turning it into a talk led me to @tamboui.dev, back to @quarkus.io, to @graalvm.org's Crema, and to @jbang.dev's switch to Æsh. The follow-up: lomagnette.github.io/posts/javasc... #java

Got a good run in this morning, now it's time for Day 3 of @devoxx.com Let's go! 🏃

Day one of @devoxx.com done, and my first deep dive on @langchain4j.dev and agentic patterns is in the books. Building agents in #Java, with real code, is pure developer bliss. Now time to enjoy the day. Tonight: our @bejug.bsky.social BOF. Java friends, come say hi! m.devoxx.com/events/dvbe2...

My 5-year-old celebrated her birthday with her friends yesterday. She made me wear my @bejug.bsky.social t-shirt because she loves #Duke. Then she said her favorite song is a #LinkinPark one. I think she's got great taste. 😄 #ProudDad #Java

Next week I’ll be at @devoxx.fr with two very different talks 🙂 One about AI agents learning to collaborate ( #A2A, Agent Cards, #Java). One about losing the spark… and finding it again. I did not plan the symmetry, but I like it. See you in Paris 🇫🇷 m.devoxx.com/events/devox...

In 2021 my developer spark was almost dead. I tried every technical fix I could think of. The actual fix surprised me. Still does. lomagnette.github.io/posts/reigni...

Opened the Java Annotated Monthly from @jetbrains.com and found my article "JavaScript (No, Not That One): Modern Automation with Java" in there. Did not expect that. Still processing. Thanks for the mention! 🙏 blog.jetbrains.com/idea/2026/04... #java

@voxxedzurich.bsky.social just started 🇨🇭 This afternoon I’ll be presenting Finding the Spark, my most personal talk so far. A story about motivation, community, and rediscovering what makes this job meaningful. If you’re around, come join 👋 #VDZ26

Here we go @voxxedzurich.bsky.social !
