Thanks to everyone who attended my Modernizing the Mission Critical with #OpenRewrite and #AI session at #jChampionsConf! Slides: https://virtua.tech/slides/modernizing-with-openrewrite-and-ai/. Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-aDxjaXT3FI .

Tomorrow is the last day of #jChampionsConf (free and online!)! See the schedule here: https://jchampionsconf.com/schedule.html.

#jChampionsConf starts in just two days! Free, on-line, and awesome. Watch live or later.

I'll be presenting "Modernizing the Mission Critical with #OpenRewrite and #AI," discussing some of the work we do at Virtua. Register today to see my session and the other great sessions from Java Champions about everything related to #Java, AI, and software development in general. https://jchampionsconf.com/
