• floci.io live demo: an AWS cloud emulator written in Java with Quarkus and GraalVM
• floci vs. LocalStack: smaller, faster, many AWS services implemented in Java
• what hexagonal architecture adds to a BCE eBank application
• migrating legacy J2EE projects to Quarkus with LLMs works better than expected
• are outbound integrations boundaries in a BCE Quarkus application?
• zsmith on GitHub and its "concerns" skill from airails.dev
• BCE as agentic architecture
• better code quality keeps agents fast in complex applications - with bad code you hit the wall earlier than humans do
• zagentcapsule (zack): a zero-dependency single executable Java 25 file, about 700 lines, wrapping Apple's container technology on macOS
• zjev: a zero-dependency Java SDK for the jev model, soon to be published
• jev is a fast, cheap classifier rather than a text generator
• time machine to a 2018 gist: the questions have not changed much
• web apps without external dependencies: web components are strong with LLMs, because LLMs are trained on standards
• JFR for business logging: a Kafka-like experience with business events, in-memory logging and streaming at almost no cost
• WebAssembly after eight years: coming and going, it did not overtake JavaScript
• agentic testing: a skill generating at most three tests per method with strong assertions instead of assertTrue
• assertion coverage that catches mutations, fewer meaningful tests with the same structure are easier to review
• skills get shorter as LLMs get more powerful
• the JavaOne talk How to write great Java apps with LLMs and agents is online
• free BCE online course at BCE: The Screaming Architecture For Humans and LLMs with about 15 lessons and more coming
