"A Billion Data Points Per Second"-an airhacks.fm podcast conversation with Christofer Dutz is ready to listen: adambien.blog/roller/a_bil... #java #podcast #iotdb #airhacks

Humans tolerate a messy tree. An agent pays for every file it opens. Why BCE, a 1992 pattern built to reduce human cognitive load, reduces token load even more for coding agents: adambien.blog/roller/bce_w... #BCE #ECB #airhacks #java

Clean Architecture explicitly builds on BCE, and the new timeline shows how MVC, DDD, Hexagonal, Onion and Clean Architecture map to boundary, control and entity. From: bce.design #BCE #ECB #BoundaryControlEntity

I'm really looking forward to the 'Java-First, Spec-Driven Development with LLMs' session at JUGtoberfest! I'll see you at 6 pm! As the end of the event is open-ended, we'll be able to cover a lot of ground, and we might even squeeze in a bit of Software Factories: crossweb.pl/wydarzenia/j... #java

I'll see you soon at the VibeCode Utrecht conference! "How to Write Great (Spec-Driven) Code with LLMs" #java #airhacks

What Hexagonal Architecture adds to a BCE project: creating an account in eBank takes four classes in BCE and eight in Hexagonal. The boundary is already an adapter, and one entity replaces a domain object, JPA entity, DTO and two mappers 👉 adambien.blog/roller/what_... #airhacks #bce

Vertical scaling complete: I upgraded the room for 'Architect-Grade Java with LLMs' at MUC airport, flushed the waitlist, and every queued request got a seat. A few seats are still available, so grab one before the next scaling event. #airhacks #university

Have your questions ready and meet us in the chat room in three hours for the premiere of the JavaOne 2026 session: "How to Write Great Java Apps with LLMs and Agents." 👉 adambien.blog/roller/javao... #java #airhacks

The final countdown for "How To Write Great Java Apps With LLMs and Agents" has begun!. Live from #JavaOne 👉 youtu.be/MMIPCyXZDAk?... #java #airhacks

Java's popularity strikes again: no seats left for 'Architect-Grade Java with LLMs' at MUC airport. Join the waitlist, I'm already scaling the room vertically. #java #airhacks #MUC

🤖 AI Coding war der Anfang. Jetzt kommen die Agenten. @adambien.blog, @martinelli.ch & Lars Röwekamp diskutieren auf der W-JAX den Weg vom individuellen AI Coding zum skalierbaren Agentic Engineering. 📍 München | 📅 04.11. | ⌚ 09:00 Uhr 🔗 https://f.mtr.cool/byyqiue27q #jaxcon

The 150th episode of airhacks.tv featuring "Spec-Driven BCE, EARS Requirements, Agent Smith, JFR Observability, ZHTMLDB, BCE vs Hexagonal, J2EE to Quarkus Migration" is now available: adambien.blog/roller/150th... #airhacks #java

Prepare your questions: tomorrow I'm presenting "Spec-Driven Java, the LLM-Native Way" with live agentic coding at the free The.NextGen event in Amsterdam. See you there. #airhacks #java

see you at 8pm CEST on airhacksTV with the following questions 👉 adambien.blog/roller/opini... #airhacks #java

"Improve startup and warmup time by making optimized native code for an application instantly available when the HotSpot JVM starts. Achieve this by compiling application code to native code in a training run, storing the native code in the AOT cache for use in subsequent production runs." 😍

Why agentic development needs stricter architecture and design: a deviation used to cost a senior engineer typing effort. An agent generates one for free and forgets it by the next feature. Architecture is decided once, design is generated per feature 👉 adambien.blog/roller/why_a... #airhacks #bce

The compiler error is also the cleanest localized feedback loop you can hand an agent. When javac rejects an argument mismatch in 200ms, the model gets an exact line and type signature to patch immediately instead of guessing through flaky integration tests.

Typesafe languages are obviously going to win out. I do believe the challenge is to find out which language provides best ratio between ambiguous understanding and token cost. I have a hunch modern Java and Kotlin will do well in that space. Worth investigating...🤔

Java verbosity is cheap. Ambiguity is expensive. A clarifying question from a coding agent costs a full round trip. A record, a sealed interface or a Bean Validation annotation costs a few tokens, and javac verifies it for free. Six points 👉 adambien.blog/roller/java_... #java #airhacks

See you on September 17th for "Fewer Tokens, Better Apps: With Standards and Java" at the Entwickler Summit in Berlin! I look forward to your questions before, during, and after my session #java #llm

Nobody brags about not walking since transportation made it optional. People talk about where they went. "Brag about arriving, not about not walking. Brag about shipping, not about not coding." adambien.blog/roller/nobod... #java #airhacks

Java has performed better than expected (TIOBE Index for September 2026). It remains 4th, having lost just 0.81 points over the past year, whereas Python lost 8.22 points and Go fell four places. Have I migrated too many Python projects to #Java? 😀 #airhacks

Most context engineering goes into supplying the model with knowledge. For Java that is mostly wasted. The APIs stay stable, so training-time knowledge still applies. Start from a small working project, pick BCE, keep AGENTS to build commands. 👉 adambien.blog/roller/how_t... #airhacks #java

I think we should cover 'autonomous loops' and 'software factories' at the next airhacks.university workshop, so I extended the agenda: airhacks.university #airhacks
