I had an amazing time attending and speaking at @javazone.bsky.social this year!

It was truly a fantastic experience! 🥳 The organizing team did an outstanding job; I’ve never been in a conference like this one. 👏🏻👏🏻

A special thanks to Otavio Santana for all the support and great laughs. ❤️

PROGRAMMER: I've had enough. People all know the truth, and i'm tired of not being listened to. Im so isolated. Thank god you're here for me, emotional support lowest bid contractor

GIRLFRIEND: You're so right, and kind for saying so. Sexual roleplay now requires a verified account. I love you.

🐘 Oh, that's nice: Postgres 19 is going to ship read-your-writes for standbys when using asynchronous replication, via a new command WAIT FOR LSN (similar to WAIT_FOR_EXECUTED_GTID_SET in MySQL). Very cool!
