By way of #introduction: I’m the Chief Architect of the Java Platform Group at Oracle. I’ve worked on every #Java / #JDK release since version 1.1, in 1997. You can blame me for character-stream readers/writers, reference objects, shutdown hooks, the NIO high-performance I/O APIs, service loaders, and modules. I currently lead the #Leyden and JDK Projects in the #OpenJDK Community, where I also serve on the Governing Board.

I’m also a Twitter refugee, now exploring the Fediverse via @ivory.

For the record, my final tweet (https://twitter.com/mreinhold/status/1618336980156428289):

Sayonara, Twitter.

Without notice you broke ⁦‪@tweetbot‬⁩, ⁦‪@twitterrific‬⁩, and other third-party clients after they spent years helping you build your ecosystem — with far better UIs than you could muster. Shame on you.

I’ll be over here: https://mastodon.social/@mreinhold

This isn’t just about my personal preference and convenience. It’s about doing right by developers.
