The use-case is for generating multiple JSON based config files, all with commonality/duplication but specific environment based differences
Interested in people’s experiences with config languages such as jsonnet, pkl, cue or other?
I'm looking for a new job.
Fully remote since I'm living in the Japanese countryside, but I'm flexible on working hours.
If you know someone that needs a Kotlin/Java backend engineer with also experience in leading teams and mentoring please pm me.

Quote from the book intro..
“Busyness often means just doing so many things at once that they all turn out crappy.”
Yeah, really enjoying it, Oswald is a great character!
I really need to remind myself of this more often…
Allowing too much work-in-progress (WIP) is to the detriment of myself, my team, my org… in fact more or less everything!
I recommend this book in this space:
Making Work Visible by Dominica Degrandis

Does anyone have any advice on how I might further spread the word of my new Sonic Pi course?
Marketing isn’t something I have much knowledge or experience of so I’d really appreciate some advice.

Without knowing the details, with his experience in this space he could be interested in being a part of JBake’s successor
This sounds interesting, I know the creator of JBake pretty well as he helps to organise the Manchester JUG with me. I don’t think he’s on here yet but in the spirit of OSS I’m going to speak to him to understand the challenges with JBake in more detail
One of my favourite blogs I’ve written over the years captured the strength of the Java community on Twitter, it feels like BlueSky is going to provide the same which is awesome 🙂

#Java developers, here's a 2nd pack of Java Community luminaries. #Bluesky limits 150 individuals per pack.

This starter pack is growing quite nicely 😀
I'm aware we have more and more Java people joining every day so please let me know of any one that should be included
There is also a Java Champion starter pack go.bsky.app/CfRBzuP
A starter pack which you are now a part of 🙂👍
Apparently there's another wave of people joining currently, so reposting this thread of starter packs for tech folks 👇
Sounds good, it would be nice if there was an easy way to do this
I’ve found k6 really easy to use, not sure about support for your specific use-case
k6.io
Please let me know of anyone you think is missing from this starter pack? #Java #JVM
Thanks, added those that were missing as well as yourself 🙂👍
I created a Java one to add to the list if you like 🙂
go.bsky.app/F7m9rBy
Agreed, very useful 🙂
