@patbaumgartner.com talks tonight at the #GenevaJUG: Stop Prompting, Start Planning - Reliable Agentic #AI with #Embabel

For as long as I have known Buildpacks, I always wanted to be able to change JVM vendors (Bellsoft, Oracle, Azul, etc.) easily: why `BP_JVM_VERSION` but no `BP_JVM_VENDOR` ? Well, my dream has come true thanks to the excellent Daniel Mikusa Read on: blog.paketo.io/posts/one-bu...

New IntelliJ IDEA Tech Talk episode! @antonarhipov.bsky.social and Spring AI project lead @tzolov.bsky.social unpack Spring AI 2.0: tool search, skills, and sub-agents – all built on tool calling. Plus live demos cutting token usage by ~50% and a preview of v2.1. 👉 youtu.be/ILn2GX8s1FM 👈

🚀 Today we opened the Call for Speakers and ticket sales for #VDZ27! Got a talk to share? Want to join us in Zürich? Now’s the time. 👇 vdz27.voxxeddays.ch/ #Voxxed #VoxxedZurich #VDZ27 #itwillbefun

I just ran a speed test in the sky. Amazing reception with #Starlink and #SAS. And it's basically for free!

On my way to #JAVAZONE to present one of my favorite topics Buildpacks! After so many years of trying, I made it this year into the agenda. Yay! #NoAI #SoftwareCraft

Dell XPS Plus keyboard replacement completed ✅ The hardest part was surviving the endless screw side quest. Thankfully, the internet has a tutorial for literally everything 😂 No mystery screws left behind this time 😎 #SundayFunWork

Now the Java User Group in Zurich knows what's wrong with AssertJ! And also how we're working to improve things. We're still in the early stages, but I can't wait to see all this work shipped to our users 🚀 Thank you so much to everyone who joined and @patbaumgartner.com for hosting! I had a blast!

Getting ready for https://socrates.family! A few days in the Swiss mountains with fresh air, meaningful conversations, unconference sessions, kids activities, and space for spontaneous ideas. 🏔️ Learning and from and with each other. ✨ #SocratesFamily #Unconference

I always wanted to know what my #Embabel workflow looks like. That's why I created the embabel-workflow-visualizer. github.com/patbaumgartn...

Btw. this was morning three on Breakfast with a view at #DevoxxGR #dvgr26

#DevoxxGR was amazing. Today I spoke about how to do Containers without Dockerfiles but with Buildpacks! Thank you for having me at #dvgr26

@patbaumgartner.com cooking some sweet builds at @devoxxgreece.bsky.social this morning!

#DevoxxGR is in full swing. Day two just has started ✨ Say hi and let's talk #SpringBoot #SpringModulith and #SpringAI and join me tomorrow for my session on #Buildpacks!

Spring Boot 4.1.0-RC1 available now Notable new features include: - Support for OpenTelemetry SDK environment variables - HTTP Client SSRF Mitigation with InetAddressFilter - Support for LazyConnectionDataSourceProxy spring.io/blog/2026/04... #spring #springboot #java
