@theguywiththeduketattoo.comTip of the Day
The @jakarta.ee specifications give AI coding agents a proven blueprint. Thus fewer tokens spent, less guidance, and apps with predictable performance out of the box
@edburns.bsky.socialReposted by @theguywiththeduketattoo.com@devoxx.com Seeing @sebi2706.bsky.social present the exciting @jakarta.ee 11 Vidoq impl. I hope the hard work we did on EE 11 to bring the TCK up to current technology is useful to this effort.
@theguywiththeduketattoo.comTip of the Day
Prompt your AI coding agents to build lean, rock-solid, secure @jakarta.ee applications.
Fewer dependencies, verified runtimes, and zero bloat minimises the attack surface
