Yesterday was the last day of #JCON2026. On the plane back home, I was thinking what metaphor would best describe it. And then it clicked - a big family reunion! In a family where people like each other, of course😁 Thank you for having me ❤️

After so many online encounters, first time meeting the amazing @hansolo.eu and @brunoborges.bsky.social in person, can you believe it?😅🥰

The amazing @ddoutsiopoulos.bsky.social knows good frames or me showing off my new tattoos at Spring I/O 2026🥰 (and a big fish, apparently😅)

Ooh, quite some time😂 But I've been diggin in the wrong direction at first

The CyberJAR channel has hit 3K subscribers🥳 Thanks to everyone for watching, commenting, and sharing - more cool JVM content from me and @asm0dey.site is on the way! So grateful to @bellsoft.bsky.social for supporting the channel so we can connect with and contribute to the Java community💖

A very nice feature of @jooq.org - implicit joins! No need to explicitly join child tables to retrieve parent's columns. SQL that feels like ORM :)

I had a great time at #VoxxedDays Thessaloniki! Met so many new people, reconnected with friends, and even got myself an all-serious pic during my talk on ways to reduce Java startup time :) which is already available on YouTube btw youtu.be/ZEl5n1-98qw

Arrived to Voxxed Days Thessaloniki🥳 My talk on the approaches to reducing the startup of Java services is tomorrow, come by if you are here! Meanwhile, I'll mingle to the best of my abilities😅

Pro (yeah, right) tip: if you wrangle with AI in your project on October 31st, at least, do it the Halloween style🎃

Turned 33 today - just a tad older than my beloved Java💚 The year was full of achievements, hope to keep the momentum 😎

I’m back from my wonderful vacation! Absolutely love China, my long term wish to learn Chinese just got stronger :) Wanted to say that I’m ready to plunge head-first into work but… jet lag is a heartless b**ch😅

Exploring Hong Kong💚

Stocked up to wait out the Super Typhoon Ragasa in Hong Kong

Coffee break on the 118th floor of the Shanghai Tower💚

On vacation in beautiful Shanghai🩵

Got a tattoo of my beloved frenchie😍 Actually, it's not the only tattoo I got, but I'll show the rest when I have a full picture... literally😆

Hahaha, I guess, because of @vaadin.com , GitHub thinks my project is 97% JavaScript! Well, that’s the closest I’ll ever get to JS, anyway 😂
