We’re hiring a #Java developer who already works with Claude Code.
The job: let the agent draft #OpenRewrite recipes, review them closely, run them against real customer code. Java upgrades, javax → jakarta, CVE fixes.
Weiden or remote ☕️🇩🇪👨💻

What belongs in a Java stack in 2027, and what doesn't? At IT-Tage in Frankfurt, @RichardFichtner goes through build tools, testing frameworks, runtimes and deployment platforms, and where AI and cloud-native fit in. Talk in German.

Five IBM Champions, one panel 🇺🇸 #IBMTechXchange
What IBM Bob actually changes in day-to-day work – measured, not demoed. @Richard Fichtner is one of the five, alongside practitioners from four other companies. Hosted by IBM's Susann Keohane.
Full lineup: xdev.software/news
Plenty of business-critical applications still run on Java 8. @RichardFichtner & Mark Stoodley @mstoodle, IBM's Chief Architect for Java, walk the path to Java 21 with IBM Bob and IBM Semeru Runtimes.
Java 8 is still everywhere. That's why this session exists.
🇺🇸 #IBMTechXchange
XDEV is coming to 🇺🇸 #IBMTechXchange
Enterprise Java is rarely greenfield. @RichardFichtner & Markus Eisele (@myfear) show how IBM Bob and the Quarkus Dev MCP keep AI-assisted work maintainable – demoed live on a production codebase.
Bring your own legacy code questions!
A single #Java library ends up inside a hospital platform, a French university's e-signature system, and a load-testing tool. Not through overlap in purpose – just one well-built component doing one job wherever it's needed. 📊

Do modern web apps really need a huge stack?
At @JavaOne, XDEV explores a different approach: building enterprise-ready UI and persistence mostly with Java using @vaadin & #EclipseStore.
📅 Drop by the Hack Haus (Mar 17, 3:00 PM PDT) & challenge the idea of “full stack”.
#Java
Not everything at XDEV revolves around Java & deployments. 🎲🧙 Sometimes it’s dice, #DnD character sheets, and a Leshy adventuring party tracking missing allies.
Four hours of roleplay, strategy, snacks, and pizza.🍕 Nerd culture isn’t staged here — it’s part of who we are. 🤝
230,000+ students. Small team. Tight budget. Strict data protection.
At JavaOne, XDEV presents the BYLES case study — how a pragmatic Java architecture delivered a secure, scalable platform without overengineering.
Proud to bring this session to #JavaOne! March 17–19, 2026.
Proud moment: XDEV’s CEO @RichardFichtner is one of only 16 Featured Speakers at @JavaOne!
For our customers, that means earlier insight into where Java is heading, smarter modernization decisions, and a partner deeply connected to the ecosystem.
