So last time we recorded we still have a running windows operating system and we haven't seen the Crowdstrike meltdown happen yet. We also hear of JRuby achieving independence, Quarkus moving into CommonHaus and Intel letting go people (are they losing the AI battle?).

Allright, so in the middle of summer, and what better way to fight the summer heat than to have a cold one and talk about tech, right? We got together again and discuss the cool things that are happening (Java 22, Kotlin 2.0), and then we take a detour on looking at what's happening in the open source space (RedHat prunes Middleware, OCI Stops Funding Grails), and we try to figure out where would it end. So come and take a listen as we try to read the tea leaves and figure out where open source is going! https://www.javaoffheap.com/datadog We thank DataDogHQ for sponsoring this podcast episode DO follow us on twitter @offheap https://www.twitter.com/offheap News: Java 22 (Haven’t recorded since then!)

Yes! So we are back at THE best conference for Java in the US (DevNexus!) to record a live episode! We had Andy and Sascha talk to us about Quantum security and where the world is heading (spoilers, we better address our security before the quantum boogeyman shows up).  In all, like all DevNexus episode we also have a GAME! Come play with us as well, and see if you can tell if an AI company is real... or fake! https://www.javaoffheap.com/datadog We thank DataDogHQ for sponsoring this podcast episode DO follow us on twitter @offheap https://www.twitter.com/offheap News:  - Commonhaus Foundation (https://www.commonhaus.org/)  - XZ Backdoor (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XZ_Utils_backdoor)  - Diagram overview of the XZ exploit (https://x.com/fr0gger_/status/1774342248437813525) Conferences:  - Spring I/O Barcelona May 30-31  - Community Over Code NA Denver October 7-10 https://communityovercode.org/  - Dev2Next Lone Tree, Colorado Sept 30 — Oct 3, 2024 https://www.dev2next.com/  - JConf.dev - Dallas, Tx - Sept 24 -26 - https://2024.jconf.dev/ Notes:  - Quantum Knight (https://www.quantumknight.io/)  - Andy, Co-Founder and CEO of Quantum Knight (https://www.linkedin.com/in/andyschwaderer/)      - fun fact, he's also the drummer for the NullPointers Java Band  - AI Drunk Friend (https://deepai.org/chat/drunk)  

Hopefully we are all rested and ready to tackle this 2024. There is already a ton going on with AI, but front and center has been the current job market news (it's dire). Even so, when a new door closes, a new (shiny AI-ish) door opens.  Here we dive into what it means to be an java developer in this job market (should you learn AI's darling language, python? we ponder), and our collection of tips / tricks to navigate it.  In addition we tackled some of the stuff we learned over the holiday, including the One Billion Row Challenge! (an exciting view of where Java is headed and the things it's doing). So start on those new year resolutions and let's get rolling with the new OffHeap episode! https://www.javaoffheap.com/datadog We thank DataDogHQ for sponsoring this podcast episode DO follow us on twitter @offheap https://www.twitter.com/offheap News:  - One Billion Row Challenge (https://www.morling.dev/blog/one-billion-row-challenge/)  - OBRC Results (https://www.morling.dev/blog/1brc-results-are-in/)  - GlassFish 8.0.0-M1 (https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/glassfish/releases/tag/8.0.0-M1)  - JDK 22 In Rampdown (https://openjdk.org/projects/jdk/22/#Schedule)  - Apache Groovy 5.0.0 in Alpha 5 - (https://groovy-lang.org/releasenotes/groovy-5.0.html)  - JPL Layoffs (https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/jpl-workforce-update)  - Kotlin 2.0.0 (https://kotlinlang.org/docs/whatsnew-eap.html) Conferences:  - Devnexus April 9 - 11 (https://www.devnexus.com)  - IntelliJ IDEA Conf - March 6-7 (https://lp.jetbrains.com/intellij-idea-conf-2024/?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=idea&utm_campaign=intellijideaconf)  - Spring I/O Barcelona May 30-31   - Community Over Code NA Denver October 7-10 (https://communityovercode.org/)  - Dev2Next Lone Tree, Colorado Sept 30 — Oct 3, 2024 https://www.dev2next.com/  - JChampions Conference 2024 Videos Available (https://www.youtube.com/@JChampionsConf/streams)

ElasticSearch, Akka, Hashicorp, and Red Hat are starting to change their licensing models. What used to be considered open source (Apache, GPL, MIT) is morphing (with an asterisk) for the large open source projects that we know and love.  But what does that mean? Is open source over? or are we transitioning to a new reality? Is legislation going to help or hinder (like the EU CRA proposed laws)? Come take a listen as we dive deep into the open source ecosystem and how is it changing right before our eyes! https://www.javaoffheap.com/datadog We thank DataDogHQ for sponsoring this podcast episode DO follow us on twitter @offheap https://www.twitter.com/offheap Java Specialist Newsletter (hi Dr. Heinz!) https://www.javaspecialists.eu/ Netbeans 18 https://github.com/apache/netbeans/releases Corretto is most popular JVM https://devclass.com/2023/05/02/amazon-now-the-most-popular-java-development-kit-vendor-for-production-according-to-observability-survey/ Layoffs at Redhat  https://wraltechwire-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/wraltechwire.com/2023/04/24/red-hat-cutting-hundreds-of-jobs-ceo-says-in-letter-to-employees/?amp=1, Sonatype https://www.theregister.com/2023/05/10/sonatype_job_cuts/ Videos for KotlinConf 2023 https://blog.jetbrains.com/kotlin/2023/05/kotlinconf-2023-recordings/?_ga=2.192371426.99327395.1684372006-290954218.1684372006&_gl=1*131l38a*_ga*MjkwOTU0MjE4LjE2ODQzNzIwMDY.*_ga_9J976DJZ68*MTY4NDM3MjAwNi4xLjAuMTY4NDM3MjAwNi4wLjAuMA..

It IS time...and everyone is talking about it! With the new Large Language Models like OpenAI and Github Copilot, and Bard (and all the others), what does it mean for developers? Is it an existential threat? a doomsday scenario? or is all being blown out of proportion? Well, we start diving into the question on this episode with the usual suspects! Come, listen to this episode before we are all replaced by generative AI!

We are at it again! We went to DevNexus in Atlanta, and we have the WHOLE GANG showing up! It has been great catching up in person and oh boy, there's so much tech to talk about! For this episode we have Brian Fox (@Brian_Fox), CTO of Sonatype talk about the importance of security across the supply chain. With new legislation coming regulating security and software pipelines it is the right time to discuss what is our role as developers in this.  An incredibly fun episode, with a quiz at the end (Powered by none other than ChatGPT) is an episode you don't want to miss! https://www.javaoffheap.com/datadog We thank DataDogHQ for sponsoring this podcast episode DO follow us on twitter @offheap https://www.twitter.com/offheap  

So there it is! We go deep covering the interesting news of Spring Boot 3, and Spring Framework 6... and looking at the BASELINE requirement of Java 17... what does that mean for the industry? Are we now becoming more proactive in upgrading? (or do we still upgrade only when we need to?). This is a great episode where we explore what does it mean to have a high cadence, and what it also means to have our dependencies require an upgrade. We are much more dynamic now! https://www.javaoffheap.com/datadog We thank DataDogHQ for sponsoring this podcast episode DO follow us on twitter @offheap https://www.twitter.com/offheap News:  - GlassFish 7 Released - December 2022 (https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/ee4j.glassfish/releases/7.0.0)  - Kotlin 1.8.0 Released - December 2022 (https://kotlinlang.org/docs/whatsnew18.html)  - JDK 20 in Rampdown: (https://openjdk.org/projects/jdk/20/)  - Twitter “Settlements”? - https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-twitter-employee-severance-agreements-2023-1  - Airline tech issues    - Southwest Explains its Meltdown (https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/09/business/southwest-meltdown-hearing/index.html)    - FAA       - https://abcnews.go.com/US/computer-failure-faa-impact-flights-nationwide/story?id=96358202      - https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/faa-ground-stop-causes/index.html  - Jakarta EE 11 having a Java 21 baseline (https://www.eclipse.org/lists/jakartaee-platform-dev/msg03898.html)  - Year In Review     - Tech Layoffs     - Conference Attendance         - Declined over the year     - Major software release         - Jakarta EE 10 (https://jakarta.ee/specifications/platform/10/)         - Spring Framework 6/Spring Boot 3 (https://spring.io/blog/2022/11/24/spring-boot-3-0-goes-ga)  

So, someone forgot to click on the "publish" button for December and we have an extra episode queued up! (Oh well) We cover the new virtual conferences coming up for the Year 2023 that are coming up + we dive into the massive tech layoff happening (including of course twitter).  We then dive head-first on an ever-relevant question. "If you were to start a new project now, which Java version would you use". Do you stick with 11? Or jump into 17? or try a non-lts with 19? or (gasp), you go to 8? We dive into the pros/cons and what our esteem panel of pundits have to say about it.
