I've been talking to the folks at Redouble about agentic AI in the enterprise (disclaimer: they pay me for it) and they keep having to educate me on how using AI from Java apps would be easier if we just thought about it differently. So I wrote it down:

My website got hacked and then I accidentally deleted it. Ooops
New Blog Post! My struggles of getting started with Aeron, and also working with Claude.
It's a Friday afternoon blog post and I have not carefully edited it for grammar, nor shortened it for impact. But it's published, and a bot didn't write it

New blog post: if you embed AI into your application, does that mean you have to assume your whole application is probabilistic?
Fixing bugs is SO SATISFYING. Even if (especially if?) it's bugs in your public documentation #win
I wrote a blog post! Just a quick update on what I'm up to these days, but at least I'm blogging again

I updated my personal site! I've been wanting to give it a "proper" design overhaul for years, but the time investment needed meant that I kept putting it off. Thanks to Claude, and to having a bit more "free" time right now, I finally did it! Take a look:
My new Getting Started with Aeron blog post is FINALLY back up. Between getting hacked, deleting my site (oops) and not having the right bitbucket API keys on all my laptops, stuff got super confusing

Job hunting as a developer is a nightmare, right? Tell me your stories of navigating the recruitment process as a dev looking for a job, and if you've been in the game for a while, tell me how it's changed lately
(I want to use these stories on the Modern Software Engineering channel)
This is possibly my favourite talk I've given in the last couple of years. It's about how to apply the stuff you've learnt at a conference (or through research) and how to convince your bosses that you need time to play.

We completed the half marathon! And we beat our target time. And we didn't die (yet)! Please throw some appreciative pennies at the donate button if you haven't already
Am I taking longer generating pretty backgrounds for my slides than I am creating actual content for my slides? Yes, yes I am
FYI slides and more information from my "Shiny New Tools Won't Fix Your Problem" talk at @DevoxxUK last week are here:
https://trishagee.com/presentations/shiny-new-tools-wont-fix-your-problem/
I ended up with 106 slides, and it does more or less take 50 mins. So... I did it, and the talk is still 5 hours away!
Today, @HelenJoScott@mastodon.social and I are running the #llhalf for Prostate Cancer UK. If you want to donate a little to motivate us, that would be enormously helpful!

"AI amplifies developer capability. It doesn’t replace the need for people who understand both the problem domain and the technical landscape."

Are you hiring developers? I'm super interested to know what has changed over the last few years with the rise of AI when you're hiring devs. I expect a) you're using AI tools to help you recruit and b) you're looking for different skills when you're evaluating devs. Is this true? I'm looking for recruitment stories to feature on the Modern Software Engineering channel.
Alright people. I'm creating a new talk for DevoxxUK next week, and as usual I want your insights into The Real World. If you're using AI as a developer or engineering leader, let me know which fundamentals or "stuff that we've known for ages" are helpful.
Next week, I'm giving one of my favourite talks (about Code Review) at an event in Seville. The talk is in English, the rest of the event is probably Spanglish on my part. Sign up here:
I'm doing some work with RedoubleAI. Their CTO, Andrey Santrosyan, had a really great conversation with @starbuxman@mastodon.online and @jamesward@mastodon.online on the realities of AI in real enterprises, so I wrote a little bit about it. Summary and video here:
