The past 3 months have been the most intense and fruitful of my entire career. I've been cooking, coding, vibing, architecting, designing, imagining, and delivering production systems while teaching developers around the world how to build enterprise-grade AI systems.
I'm on my way home from the amazing Spring I/O conference and reflecting on the seemingly insane number of things I've delivered / helped with over the past few months. Here are the most interesting:
- SkillsJars: Agent Skills for the JVM ecosystem. Gaining rapid ecosystem adoption for enterprise needs.
-
javadocs.dev: Improvements for Java / Kotlin / Scala library Agent Experience (Valkey caching, more MCP tools, a new Scala ZIO HTTP MCP library to power it)
-
ai4jvm.com: A curated AI resource list for Java & Kotlin developers (along with a generalized approach to spec driven, AI assisted websites)
- Spring AI AgentCore 1.0: The easy way to deliver enterprise-grade AI Agents & MCP servers on AWS
- acp2web: Local code assistants available anywhere via ACP
- MCP server for my Effect Oriented Programming book
- MCP server for the Spring AI book that Josh Long are working on
Along the way I presented and led hands-on Spring AI / Bedrock & MCP sessions at Jfokus, DevNexus, JavaOne, Voxxed Amsterdam, AI4J, Spring I/O, and GIDS in Bangalore next week. And I joined the Agentic AI Foundation Technical Committee, helping steer standards for the agentic world.
It has been a wild ride and I'm loving how AI has empowered me to move at a pace that a year ago was inconceivable. There is much more to come and I’m grateful for the support and collaboration with so many amazing people!
