I love participating in conferences—you get to meet so many industry and thought leaders in person, hang out with them, and build lasting bonds. That’s why I had always wanted to attend DevNexus, which isn’t far from where I live. Despite receiving an invitation, my trip kept getting delayed due to visa complications. But finally, … Read more
LLMs are taking over the world—almost literally. Every day, we hear about new models popping up, pushing the boundaries of what AI can do. While some worry about it, others welcome it with open arms. The truth is that AI will inevitably take over certain tasks, much like cars replaced by horse-drawn carriages. But that … Read more
It’s been about 15 years since I last touched C programming. Back in university, I remember writing a small C program for an assignment—just a simple parser that could scan a C source file and check if its structures were correctly formed. It was nothing fancy, just a mundane academic exercise, and to be honest, … Read more
LLM chat models have become an integral part of many applications today. We are all experimenting and exploring the best ways to utilize them effectively. For Java developers, LangChain4j has been an incredible tool in this journey. By design, most available APIs, such as ChatGPT and Gemini, operate in a fire-and-forget mode. They don’t retain … Read more

Last month, my family and I finally embarked on a long-awaited trip to the UK, specifically to London. We spent four days there, staying with my uncle and visiting my sister, whom I hadn’t seen in five years. Meeting my niece for the first time was a special moment, especially since she wasn’t shy … Read more
Lately, I have been playing with JBang and PicoCLI, and I am pretty amazed at what we can do with these tools. I needed to create a script that would go to a specified repository on GitHub, check the commit range, and verify if any tickets were associated with them. Additionally, I wanted to check … Read more
