A few weeks ago I was fortunate to be at JavaZone for the fourth year in a row.

Last month I had the honor of attending JCrete; “the hottest unconference on the planet!”

The last conference of the “Spring” 2026 season for me was Devoxx Poland.

In the third episode of IntelliJ IDEA Tech Talks, I talk to Ronald Dehuysser – creator of JobRunr, about the ClawRunr project.

June started off with not one, but two Java conferences: jPrime in Sofia, Bulgaria, and JSpring in Utrecht, the Netherlands.

In this video, Marco Behler, Anton Arhipov, Siva Prasad Reddy K and I show you what’s new in the IntelliJ IDEA 2026.2 release.

In the second episode of IntelliJ IDEA Tech Talks, I talk to James Ward about SkillsJars, a way to manage skill files like dependencies.

This year I had the opportunity to speak at JNation for the first time.

Just over a month ago, I had the pleasure of speaking at GeeCON 2026 in Kraków, Poland.

In the first episode of IntelliJ IDEA Tech Talks, I talk to Moritz Halbritter from the Spring team about JSpecify.
