linkedin.comThe Story of VS Code | Official Documentary | Max Rydahl AndersenPretty cool moment: I’m in the Visual Studio Code documentary, talking about the Language Server Protocol. And somehow they even managed to include a shot of my little village in Denmark 🇩🇰 It was especially great to see Görkem Ercan in there. He was right at the heart of the early Java/LSP work 10 years ago. I do wish a few more of the people who helped build that foundation had made it into the documentary too — 🏓 Fred Bricon , Snjezana Peco , Thomas Mäder, Roland Gruberg, and others who put a huge amount of work into Java language tooling and LSP. Still, I’m pretty proud to have been a small part of that history. My bit on LSP starts around 50:03: https://lnkd.in/enFkZjic

Make Java easier to reach, and people do cool things with it 😄

Finally, rebuilding this project in #java with #jbang paid off: owi-cli-java is up to 23× faster than the original Python version. Nobody tell me Python is for performance anymore. 😄 tangled.org/kaizensphere...

Amen! Using ai to faster create documents to fulfill “the process” is a sign of something being wrong with “the process”

Simon Martinelli@martinelli.ch

I find it funny that a lot of mostly developers are trying to mimic their Scrum process with AI. AI is a game changer. You have to rethink how you work. Introducing AI in a company is organizational change not another tool.

LLMs just can't stop writing java.util.Map<String, java.util.List<String>> instead of using imports 😅 Made a PR for Spotless to auto-fix this: shortenFullyQualifiedTypes() 🤞 for a speedy merge! https://github.com/diffplug/spotless/pull/3005

I watched Project Hail Mary over the weekend. I regret not having watched it in the cinema - its visuals, mood, colors, tone and science based story telling was just Excellent. Highest recommendation from here. image: winterpens.art

Does anyone in my network work on or with JFrog Artifactory? We've been hitting bugs that have been open for *years* and appear completely stale. I refuse to believe nobody's looking at these. Would love to talk to someone on the inside before I lose my mind. 😅

#TamboUI - the first modern Java TUI library. It promises support ranging from low-level terminal drawing to high-level APIs, including components and event handling. Now at v0.3.0, it’s already being adopted by major projects like Maven & Spring. 🔗 Learn more: bit.ly/4fKgoSL #InfoQ #Java

Nice InfoQ article about TamboUI https://www.infoq.com/news/2026/05/tamboui-java-tui/

infoq.comTamboUI Promises to Bring Better Capabilities to Build TUIs in JavaThe call to action “to make 2026 the year of Java in the terminal” was quickly responded to by the launch of TamboUI. Inspired by Ratatui, the library used in Claude CLI, it promises support ranging from low-level terminal drawing to high-level APIs such as components and event handling. Currently at version 0.3.0, it has already been adopted by major projects such as Maven and Spring.

The recent fixes @staalep.bsky.social been making to get aesh to match picocli features been really fun to do.

Max Rydahl Andersen@maxandersen.xam.dk

Working on picocli to aesh migration the last few weeks for JBang. The startup difference is amazing: 2-17x faster. JVM mode is now amazing but native mode is even faster. lesson learned again and again - reflection is a startup killer; build-time makes all the difference!

One thing I've always used #LLMs for is generating utility scripts. Back in the "ChatGPT is amazing!" days, I used them to help me write bash scripts because I'd always forget the syntax. Now, I use them to generate full-blown scripts, but more often I'm using #Java and #JBang (www.jbang.dev ). #ai
