I finally got around to write a small writeup of JCrete 2025

#JakartaEE #EclipseFoundation #Community #JCrete

https://www.agilejava.eu/2025/08/21/jcrete-2025/

My #JCrete25 takeaways:

1. Not enough people know about
@radicle yet - need to start submitting proposals to conferences / meetups to start spreading the word,
2. Entry-level devs are going to have a **HARD** time in next few years: GenAI tools help experts, not amateurs. 👈 This is a great excuse for execs to avoid hiring. Yes, this is short-sighted and yes, it will, unfortunately, happen... :(
