    Reading Code Effectively: An Overlooked Developer Skill • Marit van Dijk & Hannes Lowette

    This interview was recorded for GOTO Unscripted. https://gotopia.tech Read the full transcription of this interview here Marit van Dijk - Developer Advocate at JetBrains, Java Champion & Open Source Contributor Hannes Lowette - Principal Consultant at Axxes, Monolith Advocate, Speaker & Whiskey Lover RESOURCES Marit https://bsky.app/profile/maritvandijk.bsky.social https://linkedin.com/in/maritvandijk https://github.com/mlvandijk https://medium.com/@mlvandijk https://maritvandijk.com Hannes https://bsky.app/profile/hanneslowette.net https://twitter.com/hannes_lowette https://github.com/Belenar https://linkedin.com/in/hanneslowette Links https://www.felienne.com https://codereading.club https://github.com/neontribe/code-reading-club DESCRIPTION Reading code is a critical yet often underappreciated skill in software development. Marit van Dijk & Hannes Lowette highlight that while developers are trained to write code, they spend most of their time understanding existing codebases—often with incomplete documentation and evolving complexity. They discuss research-backed strategies, such as structured code reading exercises, participation in communities like the Code Reading Club, and leveraging modern IDE tools to navigate and comprehend unfamiliar code. The conversation underscores the importance of empathy in code reviews, writing clear commit messages, and using tests as documentation to improve collaboration and maintainability. By practicing code reading deliberately and utilizing available resources, developers can become more effective and adaptable in their work.

    Optimizing Cloud Native Java • Ben Evans & Holly Cummins

    This interview was recorded for the GOTO Book Club. http://gotopia.tech/bookclub Read the full transcription of the interview here Ben Evans - Senior Principal Software Engineer at Red Hat & Co-Author of "Optimizing Cloud Native Java" and many more Books Holly Cummins - Senior Principal Software Engineer on the Red Hat Quarkus Team RESOURCES Ben https://mastodon.social/@kittylyst https://www.linkedin.com/in/kittylyst https://www.kittylyst.com Holly https://hollycummins.com https://bsky.app/profile/hollycummins.com https://hachyderm.io/@holly_cummins https://linkedin.com/in/holly-k-cummins DESCRIPTION Holly Cummins talks with Ben Evans about his latest book "Optimizing Cloud Native Java", which updates his previous work "Optimizing Java" to reflect the realities of cloud native environments. Ben explains that performance engineering is not just technical but also psychological, emphasizing the importance of user expectations and defining clear performance goals. They discuss how modern Java performance must account for cloud native architectures, with applications running across distributed microservices and containerized, single-core environments. The book focuses on the importance of measuring relevant data, warns against relying on misleading micro-benchmarks, and highlights how system-level benchmarks offer a clearer picture. Ben also delves into the JVM's hidden complexities, such as changes in Java 17 and the impact of virtual threads. Practical, real-world examples in the book, like the "fighting animals" microservices application, help developers learn how to optimize Java performance in real network environments. Finally, Ben touches on the future of Java concurrency, with virtual threads and structured concurrency offering new ways to handle performance challenges in cloud native systems. RECOMMENDED BOOKS Ben Evans & Jim Gough • Optimizing Cloud Native Java Ben Evans, Jason Clark & David Flanagan • Java in a Nutshell Ben Evans, Martijn Verburg & Jason Clark • The Well-Grounded Java Developer Ben Evans, Jim Gough & Chris Newland • Optimizing Java Ben Evans & Martijn Verburg • The Well-Grounded Java Developer Bluesky Twitter Instagram LinkedIn Facebook CHANNEL MEMBERSHIP BONUS Join this channel to get early access to videos & other perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCs_tLP3AiwYKwdUHpltJPuA/join Looking for a unique learning experience?

Because they have been trained on all the public text and images on the internet, they can make useful contributions to a wide variety of tasks. And with the barrier to entry greatly reduced today, practically any developer can harness LLMs and diffusion models to tackle problems previously unsuitable for automation. With this book, you'll gain a solid foundation in generative AI, including how to apply these models in practice. When first integrating LLMs and diffusion models into their workflows, most developers struggle to coax reliable enough results from them to use in automated systems. * Book description: © O'Reilly RECOMMENDED BOOKS James Phoenix & Mike Taylor • Prompt Engineering for Generative AI Phil Wi Bluesky Twitter Instagram LinkedIn Facebook CHANNEL MEMBERSHIP BONUS Join this channel to get early access to videos & other perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCs_tLP3AiwYKwdUHpltJPuA/join Looking for a unique learning experience?
