I love working with #Java.

I wanted to upgrade the app runtime from 17 to 21 - all I needed to do was install the new runtime, change the java.version property to 21, rebuild, and deploy.

Personally, spite energizes me and I won't let the asshats up top take my passion for Java away. In fact, I'm happy to be speaking at a number of JUGs in the next weeks:

* Apr 1st: Boulder
* 2nd: Denver
* 7th: Kansas
* 8th: Dallas
* 9th: Austin

Looking forward to catching up with you all!
