ICYM: I am less interested in whether agents can generate code than in whether teams can keep control while using them.
That is the real workflow question.

If the SDL already exists, I want it in charge.
This walkthrough uses `quarkus-vertx-graphql` for schema-first GraphQL on Quarkus: GraphQL Java wiring, a real `/graphql` route, header-scoped queries, and subscriptions.

When looking for tech events, hacks, & meetups, where do you go to find them? As the organiser of @virtualjug.bsky.social & launching a new dev event, I want to make sure we show up in the spaces you actually use.

ICYM: the interesting part of agent work is not one clever prompt. It is making useful behavior reusable.
That is where a skills kit starts to matter.

GPU LLM inference on Apple Silicon: a single Java 25 executable JAR, zero dependencies. Binds Metal-enabled libllama.dylib through the Foreign Function & Memory API. Runs Mistral and Gemma GGUF models locally.

My favorite part of Quarkus AWS Lambda HTTP is the local loop.
`localhost` can behave enough like API Gateway and Lambda that you keep hot reload, test raw `/_lambda_` events, and still finish with `sam local start-api`.

ICYM: Java is becoming a better scripting language without turning into a toy scripting language.
JBang and modern Java make automation feel a lot less disposable.

I wanted local AWS deps that start with `quarkus dev`, not another login wall.
So I built InvoiceVault on Floci-backed Dev Services: S3, SSM limits, SQS events, and one path from PDF upload to queue. www.the-main-thread.com/p/quarkus-fl...
ICYM: a lot of Java teams do not need another frontend stack just to get useful interactivity.
Quarkus + Qute + HTMX is still a lovely combination.
