🚨 MEET 11-YEAR-OLD SAMUEL HENDERSON — THE KID WITH AUTISM & TOURETTE SYNDROME WHO JUST STOLE THE INTERNET’S HEART! 🐦❤️ For YEARS this amazing boy practiced his one-of-a-kind talent completely alone in his schoolyard… and now he’s blowing minds on stage. Watch as Samuel takes full command like a total boss. He tells the crowd, “Save your applause until the end!” Then he starts pulling plush toy birds out of a bag and delivers the most INCREDIBLY accurate bird calls you’ll ever hear — perfect hoot of a Great Horned Owl, spot-on gobble of a Wild Turkey, and dead-on honk of a Canada Goose. The audience loses it! Posted by his proud mom, Lori Henderson, this reel is pure proof that autism and Tourette’s don’t limit you — they can unlock superpowers most of us can only dream of. Samuel isn’t just talented… he’s courageous, focused, and an inspiration to every kid (and adult) out there chasing their passion. Tag a parent, teacher, or friend who needs this feel-good boost today! ❤️ Drop your favorite bird call in the comments — did he nail it or what?! 👇 Link to the clip: instagram.com/reel/DYsgtHAvN… #Autism #TouretteSyndrome #SpecialNeeds #BirdCalls #IncredibleKid #ViralTalent #SamuelHenderson

People spending money to be lazier, but having to work hard to afford being lazier

Umm, no. IMO, chores are not a problem that needs solving. It’s an outlet for me.

Just a wee bit of rain in the forecast

31 years and still going strong. Happy birthday, #Java! Thx to the @java community that continues to keep it vibrant!

The decisions made by state supreme courts touch every part of our lives. And that’s especially important when voting rights and basic freedoms are being challenged. Today, voters in Georgia can stand up for fairness and integrity by electing Miracle Rankin and Jen Jordan to Georgia’s Supreme Court. Let’s get this one right, Georgia.

One of the problems with AI coding is that the narrative on X (and other social media platforms) is mostly set by people who don't have the deep coding and software engineering experience of the likes of Bjarne Stroustrup. Meanwhile the fundamental problems remain unaddressed: 1- AI generates super-human volumes of code 2- The code can be buggy, have security holes, be inefficient, etc. 3- The person who owns the code can be mostly unaware that such problems exist, so they won't even go after fixing them 4- The people who can actually fix the code (i.e., the software engineers who understand design, architecture, security best practices, etc.) are so overwhelmed that some of them will give up Meanwhile, AI companies are constantly pushing the narrative that you don't need to look at the code and the AI will fix everything itself. What they don't tell you is that if your code fails, you'll be held accountable, not them.

#Java peers...if you're based in or traveling to Zurich, Switzerland, come meet @elide_sg from @elide_dev. He's available May 23-27 to talk shop (maybe even treat you to food & drinks). DM me so I can make the connection and share his contact details.

FWIW @RenderATL merch is chef’s kiss year after year 🤌🏾

⚡️Java 25 is the fastest OpenJDK yet. But Azul Prime is 21.8% faster than OpenJDK 25—and keeps getting faster over time. See how Java 21 and 25 stack up in our High-Performance Java Platform Benchmark Report: bit.ly/4wsaKdX #Java25 #OpenJDK

Wishing a Happy Mother’s Day to all moms! May this day be filled with warmth, celebration, and connection.🌷#MothersDay #HappyHolidays #AzulHolidays #Moms

Finally, I had to squeeze @MarkusKett (the co-founder of @jcon_conference) out of his very busy schedule to get his perspective on JCON and the importance of such a community for @Java developers. youtu.be/qCmTnnWIA-k #JCON #Java

@jcon_conference was THE conference that gave @Sharat_Chander the thank you he so well deserved, for building and connecting the @Java community to what it is today. I had the chance to get his overall experience of #JCON & the #Java community at large. youtu.be/buFLAMj4_cY
