OffHeap 90. The Dating Game at Devnexus 2025

Mar 26 2025 60 mins

Oh my, Spring is around the corner and OffHeap was again invited to be part of DevNexus! This episode is so awesome because we got a chance to talk to three Open Source Foundations: Apache Software Foundation, Eclipse Foundation, and CommonHaus Foundation. We discussed how they are similar, and (more interestingly) how they are different. […]

OffHeap 89. Welcome to the Year 2025! Prediction Time!

So another year is in the books, and thankfully we didn't have any Log4Shell like incidents during the break. And what that means is that this is the Episode where we reminisce about the year 2024, and look forward to what will dominate the headlines...

OffHeap 88. Of Smart Agents that help you code better…or worse?

So Coding Agents are here to stay. And they are hitting everywhere we go! (at a cheap price!). So what do we make of them. Do they help? do they hinder? Do we like using them? or, is it risky to use them? There are now practical questions we ponder...

OffHeap 86. Of striking crowds and independence

So last time we recorded we still have a running windows operating system and we haven't seen the Crowdstrike meltdown happen yet. We also hear of JRuby achieving independence, Quarkus moving into CommonHaus and Intel letting go people (are they...

OffHeap 85. The (Economic?) Future of Open Source?

Allright, so in the middle of summer, and what better way to fight the summer heat than to have a cold one and talk about tech, right? We got together again and discuss the cool things that are happening (Java 22, Kotlin 2.0), and then we take a...

OffHeap 84. DevNexus 2024! (oops, we did it again!)

Yes! So we are back at THE best conference for Java in the US (DevNexus!) to record a live episode! We had Andy and Sascha talk to us about Quantum security and where the world is heading (spoilers, we better address our security before the quantum...

OffHeap 83. Happy New Year! (and start dusting that resume)

Hopefully we are all rested and ready to tackle this 2024. There is already a ton going on with AI, but front and center has been the current job market news (it's dire). Even so, when a new door closes, a new (shiny AI-ish) door opens. Here we...

OffHeap82. FINALLY JAVA 21 is HERE

Old enough to drink Java 21 is officially released! This is the one we have all been waiting for! With Project Loom, structured concurrency and being the Long Term Support release, this is the beginning of another incredible era for Java and Java development! So we dive into it and start charting out WHERE does […]

OffHeap 81. Is the guilded age of open source over?

ElasticSearch, Akka, Hashicorp, and Red Hat are starting to change their licensing models. What used to be considered open source (Apache, GPL, MIT) is morphing (with an asterisk) for the large open source projects that we know and love. But...

OffHeap 80. The invasion of the virtual programming robots!

It IS time...and everyone is talking about it! With the new Large Language Models like OpenAI and Github Copilot, and Bard (and all the others), what does it mean for developers? Is it an existential threat? a doomsday scenario? or is all being blown...
