Java developers want container security, just not the job that comes with it

: BellSoft survey finds 48% prefer pre‑hardened images over managing vulnerabilities themselves

The Register

Just shipped a festive hands-on tutorial:
“Build a Secret Santa API with Quarkus.”

A lightweight Java project that covers:
• REST endpoints
• Group & wishlist management
• Fair random pairings
• Email notifications
• PostgreSQL via Dev Services

A perfect December side project for backend developers.

New hands-on tutorial on The Main Thread 🚀

I built a real-time emotion detector in Java using #Quarkus, #JavaCV, #WebSocketsNext, and #LangChain4j.

The pipeline streams webcam frames → detects faces locally → sends only the cropped face to a multimodal LLM (GPT-4o/Gemini) for emotion classification.

High-throughput + low latency = fun and surprisingly practical.

Today’s my birthday 🎂 so I built a Birthday API with Quarkus.
It calculates your age across calendars, planets, and time zones while teaching the depths of Java’s java.time API.

💬 I’d love to hear from other #JavaDevelopers building with #AI:
- Which direction excites you more?
- What persistence layer do you trust for fast prototyping?

🚨 Breaking news: Java developers discover Pandas rip-off with a name that sounds like a cheap gym 💪. #Fahmatrix promises to make tabular data “fahm” easy, but let's be real—it's just another way to make Java developers wish they had chosen Python instead 🐍.

GitHub - moustafa-nasr/Fahmatrix: Fahmatrix is a lightweight, modern Java library for working with tabular data, inspired by Python's Pandas and rooted in the idea of making data understanding (fahm) easy on the JVM.
