Really tempted to submit, but thinking about the troubles of getting a visa to reach there gives me nightmares 😅
Had an amazing time at #JFall 🍁 Spoke about “Framework-Agnostic Development with Java.” Thanks to everyone who packed the room and brought the energy! Always special to reconnect with friends and meet new faces.
I know that "live" audiences can be super critical! 😉
Too bad I can’t join. Already have another BBQ planned for Saturday. Enjoy! 🍖🍻😊
Still pinching myself🤩, it’s like a dream come true! Thrilled to be joining #DevoxxBelgium for the first time 🥳
Just wrapped up my talk at @devbcn.bsky.social Thanks for the love!❤️

Join him at #devbcn25 for Java Beyond Frameworks: Avoiding Lock-In with Agnostic Design and learn how to design truly flexible Java apps.
See you in Barcelona this July!

Well, well, well… looks like there was more to it! 🤩
Rijo Sam smiling and telling stories about "Tulips to Turmeric" in front of a big screen stating 'The retrospective' with an image of sticky notes and blue pens. In front of the JUGNoord attendees.
Hanno Embregts playing guitar. In front of him is a music standard for the microphone and a high table with an apple laptop on it. Behind him is a big screen with a cool photo that was taking during his key note at Devoxx Belgium a couple years ago. On the left you see some attendees from the JUGNoord event in the DUO building.
Had burritos, swapped culture stories, and ended up singing “Stairway to Heaven” with a room full of Java devs. Not your average @jugnoord.bsky.social night.
Shout-out to @rijosam.com & @hanno.codes for the laughs, lessons, and live music. 💙🎸

I used to think the best reason to attend a conference was for the talks—until I met this guy and saw his incredible photos. 📸
I gave a talk with a 10-minute slides and 30 minutes of live coding. Wow! Hats off to those already doing live coding on stage!
None of the achievements I've ever had would have been possible without you, @ancythomas.bsky.social. You're my greatest supporter, my toughest critic. Thank you for everything!
Special thanks to @ddoutsiopoulos.bsky.social for perfectly capturing her in the moment as she captured me.
The biggest stage so far! Thanks to @voxxedzurich.bsky.social
The perk of being a speaker 🤩 Thanks to the organisers of mini.CONF hosted by #group9.

Missed it by one week 😉
My second talk of the year, and the first one in Belgium. Thanks to @bejug.bsky.social and @tomcools.be for the opportunity. It was one of the best evenings. I enjoyed presenting, and thanks to the fantastic audience, you all made my day. I was happy to hear your constant laughter. 😄
Next up, @rijosam.com from 🇳🇱 talking about multicultural teams! 😊

A few years ago, my confidence in encryption and cryptography was shaken by an issue with a pseudorandom number generator (PRNG). An unintentional mistake in choosing a blocking algorithm resulted in timeouts for many customers.
You can read more about PRNGs in my latest @foojay.io article.
