Liebe deutsche Politik, ohne großen Wurf, der allen wehtut wird es nix. Wir brauchen eine flexiblen Arbeitsmarkt, weniger Steuern und weniger Steuerregelwerk, aber mehr Kontrolle.

"Das können wir nicht ändern."

I am currently trying to turn my 100 different 1BRC implementations into a JDK release test suite. Who can sell me some time?

Dear #DB, two long distance rides with two transfers each. Both rides on time, from end to end. Small delay from Cologne to Frankfurt but buffered off in Frankfurt. Thank you.

Just got the information that I have to pay 2 cents less in May per kWh electricity than April. 28.2 Cents. It is a dynamic price and set per month based on energy prices at EEX.

If you are keen to learn how you can optimize data processing to save CPU and memory, basically money 💰, I invite you to my #JCON2026 talk: "Conquering a Billion Rows with Java Concurrency".

I am promising a "Wow, really?".

#jcon2026 Arrived in Cologne and at the Media Park. Just doing what I always do before a talk... sifting it again and again.

And of course, I am still fiddling with my presentation for #jcon.

Almost 40 different ways to multithread the #1brc. Most of them are stupid of course, but it is about learning and understanding why, not just saying "Tata". The journey is our goal.

For an upcoming customer workshop, I am diving through JFR and all its features. Amazing. I am pretty sure that most Java developers don't know anything about that marvel.

Custom events and streaming are extremely useful but who knows that?

Just asked Gemini to give me the future based on the present.

The new world of development: coming up with concepts, planning and coordinating their execution, and evaluating the results. Three-week sprints are now three-day sprints. Testing is essential, but coding is not. Requirements are critical, but coding is not.

I didn't expect that revolution. #AI

Folks, I took the liberty to use #AI to rip out QuestDB from #JBake and also migrate to JDK 21 minimum. Opinions?

It renders jbake.org and my very own blog. Opinions? I would open a PR because QuestDB removal was on the list for a while.

Got stuck in Stockholm due to the Berlin airport being shut down for the day. The next attempt is Sunday.

Antigravity is impressive. It sucks that it often strips all comments when refactoring code to fit a new feature.

Still experimenting around.

Dear #ADAC and #Vodafone, it sucks when you name your downloadable invoices with UUIDs and do not include a date or invoice ID. It gets even worse when the UUID changes with each download of the same document. That is so 1998. Happy New Year!
