#devexperience — Public Fediverse posts

Most teams don’t start from scratch.

They have a working Quarkus app. Repositories. Services. REST endpoints. Production traffic.

In our latest episode, Alex Soto shows how to use IBM Bob to add LangChain4j to an existing Quarkus application — step by step, no rewrite.

It’s about controlled AI integration. Not hype.

For years we accepted a trade-off: Python for scripts, Java for systems.

With JBang and Java 21, that trade-off is gone.

You can now write single-file Java scripts with near-zero friction and promote them to production without a rewrite.

Hands-on examples: HTTP servers, CLIs, async clients, matrix math.

LangChain4j has crossed an important line:
from “interesting library” → production Java AI infrastructure.

I wrote a long-form guide with 50 LangChain4j interview questions, covering:
• AI Services
• RAG & embeddings
• Tools & agents
• Memory & context limits
• Observability, cost, and security

Written from a production Java perspective — not Python demos.

Trying Elixir for the second time now, and I can't stop adoring it from the point of developer experience. Especially compared to C# without overbloated Visual Studio🫠

Building a product is like baking a cake.

Everyone sees the frosting, your features, the checklist, the shiny bullet points.
But what makes people come back for a second slice?
It's not the frosting. It's the texture. The moistness. The way it melts on the tongue.
That's User Experience and Developer Experience. That's reliability.
You can't measure it in your metrics, but you can taste when it's wrong.
And no one wants to eat a dry cake, no matter how pretty it looks.
Be the cake master.

Decentralized microfrontend architecture.

The app is architected in a unique way to investigate possibilities and potential.

Microfronends as a #decentralized alternative to #npm.

While i can smush everything into a #monoRepo, i wanted to explore the idea of using #Microfrontends as a kind-of self managed alternative to #npm.

Microfronends have been around for a while and i've come across many different approaches. I want to share how im using microfrontends in my project.

Im using #Webpack 5 #moduleFederation to create the #microfrontend. there are some interesting features that i dont think are being mentioned elsewhere:

- Dynamic Remotes: Modules can be loaded from various endpoints. We can use a custom function to ping different URLs and determine the fastest one for loading the required module.

- #Selfhosters can manage modules independently, enhancing control over updates and #security on #opensource projects.

- Development Experience: By using dynamic-remotes and running modules locally during development, it can speed up testing and iteration.

- Scalability: The approach allows for #CDN scaling with module deployments on multiple cloud providers. currently, my redundencies are on AWS S3 + github-pages... but i can see how this can be scaled to more cloud providers.

Im aiming for the architecture to look like the following. Let me know your thoughts on my approach and if its something you would consider for your project.

Hooking up devbox to GitHub Actions for pre-commit-ci/lite-action.

What could go wrong, security wise?

I need to come up with some talk ideas for next autumn... #DevSecOps and #DevExperience as topics 🙃

i've written about setting up #vscode to run your tests continuously - putting squigglies in your code when tests fail. also - running your #aspnetcore app continuously, capturing problems from its build.

turns out you can get #vscode to do a lot.

In a post-twitter world, where we are acutely aware that using proprietary centralised solutions like #GitHub might be dangerous too, is it time to switch to something completely different like #Fossil?

https://fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/index.wiki

Do I know anyone with fossil experience?

How was it compared to git?
