So Coding Agents are here to stay. And they are hitting everywhere we go! (at a cheap price!). So what do we make of them. Do they help? do they hinder? Do we like using them? or, is it risky to use them? There are now practical questions we ponder with as Github Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, Intellij AI Assistant and others are accessible at the click of a button! https://www.javaoffheap.com/datadog We thank DataDogHQ for sponsoring this podcast episode DO follow us on twitter @offheap https://www.twitter.com/offheap ?

So last time we recorded we still have a running windows operating system and we haven't seen the Crowdstrike meltdown happen yet. We also hear of JRuby achieving independence, Quarkus moving into CommonHaus and Intel letting go people (are they losing the AI battle?). An interesting episode, drop in for a listen! https://www.javaoffheap.com/datadog We thank DataDogHQ for sponsoring this podcast episode DO follow us on twitter @offheap https://www.twitter.com/offheap News: Jakarta EE 11 release pushed out JDK 23 in ramp down phase 2 https://openjdk.org/projects/jdk/23/#Schedule JDK 24 in Ear ..read more

Allright, so in the middle of summer, and what better way to fight the summer heat than to have a cold one and talk about tech, right? We got together again and discuss the cool things that are happening (Java 22, Kotlin 2.0), and then we take a detour on looking at what's happening in the open source space (RedHat prunes Middleware, OCI Stops Funding Grails), and we try to figure out where would it end. So come and take a listen as we try to read the tea leaves and figure out where open source is going! https://www.javaoffheap.com/datadog We thank DataDogHQ for sponsoring this podcast episode ..read more

Yes! So we are back at THE best conference for Java in the US (DevNexus!) to record a live episode! We had Andy and Sascha talk to us about Quantum security and where the world is heading (spoilers, we better address our security before the quantum boogeyman shows up).  In all, like all DevNexus episode we also have a GAME! Come play with us as well, and see if you can tell if an AI company is real... or fake! https://www.javaoffheap.com/datadog We thank DataDogHQ for sponsoring this podcast episode DO follow us on twitter @offheap https://www.twitter.com/offheap News:  - Commonhaus ..read more

Hopefully we are all rested and ready to tackle this 2024. There is already a ton going on with AI, but front and center has been the current job market news (it's dire). Even so, when a new door closes, a new (shiny AI-ish) door opens.  Here we dive into what it means to be an java developer in this job market (should you learn AI's darling language, python? we ponder), and our collection of tips / tricks to navigate it.  In addition we tackled some of the stuff we learned over the holiday, including the One Billion Row Challenge! (an exciting view of where Java is headed and the th ..read more

ElasticSearch, Akka, Hashicorp, and Red Hat are starting to change their licensing models. What used to be considered open source (Apache, GPL, MIT) is morphing (with an asterisk) for the large open source projects that we know and love.  But what does that mean? Is open source over? or are we transitioning to a new reality? Is legislation going to help or hinder (like the EU CRA proposed laws)? Come take a listen as we dive deep into the open source ecosystem and how is it changing right before our eyes! https://www.javaoffheap.com/datadog We thank DataDogHQ for sponsoring this podcast e ..read more

It IS time...and everyone is talking about it! With the new Large Language Models like OpenAI and Github Copilot, and Bard (and all the others), what does it mean for developers? Is it an existential threat? a doomsday scenario? or is all being blown out of proportion? Well, we start diving into the question on this episode with the usual suspects! Come, listen to this episode before we are all replaced by generative AI!

We are at it again! We went to DevNexus in Atlanta, and we have the WHOLE GANG showing up! It has been great catching up in person and oh boy, there's so much tech to talk about! For this episode we have Brian Fox (@Brian_Fox), CTO of Sonatype talk about the importance of security across the supply chain. With new legislation coming regulating security and software pipelines it is the right time to discuss what is our role as developers in this.  An incredibly fun episode, with a quiz at the end (Powered by none other than ChatGPT) is an episode you don't want to miss! https://www.javaoff ..read more

So there it is! We go deep covering the interesting news of Spring Boot 3, and Spring Framework 6... and looking at the BASELINE requirement of Java 17... what does that mean for the industry? Are we now becoming more proactive in upgrading? (or do we still upgrade only when we need to?). This is a great episode where we explore what does it mean to have a high cadence, and what it also means to have our dependencies require an upgrade. We are much more dynamic now! https://www.javaoffheap.com/datadog We thank DataDogHQ for sponsoring this podcast episode DO follow us on twitter @offheap https ..read more
