Conference ⸱ +4k views ⸱ Jun 18, 2026 ⸱ 00h 56m 03s

tldw: Innovations have transformed human lives in ways that make it hard to imagine how people managed before, yet we rarely embrace them readily and often we shouldn’t. Venkat Subramaniam, the Java legend, examines how our time is juxtaposed with yet another major innovation in our field. Is AI going to take over the world, our jobs or our way of life? This talk steps back from the daily social media AI hype and aims to see what is really going on.

2. “7 Ways You Can Build an Amazing Dev Career in the AI Era” from DevBcn 2026

Conference ⸱ <100 views ⸱ Jun 23, 2026 ⸱ 00h 40m 34s

tldw: Are we still relevant in the AI era? That is the question every developer is asking, and Bruno Souza (Java Champion) tackles it head on. Drawing on three decades of helping developers design amazing careers, he shares seven concrete ways to stay relevant, keep growing and thrive as a software engineer in the current era. It is a grounded, energizing take on building a career that lasts well beyond the AI hype.

3. “Victor Rentea — Top 10 Event-Driven Architecture Pitfalls” from DevBcn 2026

Conference ⸱ <100 views ⸱ Jun 22, 2026 ⸱ 00h 51m 50s

tldw: You send a message instead of an API call: what can possibly go wrong? Victor Rentea (Java Champion) takes you through the Event-Driven Adventure Park where every message is a rollercoaster ride. Hold tight through the wild loops of duplicate deliveries, out-of-order messages and race conditions, survive the dual-write drop, escape the consumer error maze and find the cure to poison pill messages. These are 10 real war stories collected from the 150 companies Victor has trained, a tour through the quirks and best practices of messaging systems.

4. “From CDC to Stream Analytics: Real-Time Data Patterns for Apache Iceberg and AI” from AWS Events

Podcast ⸱ Jun 24, 2026 ⸱ 0 days 01:00:50

tldl: Dive into real-time data patterns for Apache Iceberg with Ali Alemi, Streaming Specialist Solutions Architect at AWS, and his colleague Francisco. They unpack the difference between append-only and CDC write patterns, explore the read-side challenges and show how Amazon S3 Tables eases the tension between frequent writes and analytical performance. They then present a live demo of a CDC pipeline built on Debezium, Kafka and Flink.

5. “Slow down to speed up: AI and software engineering” from The Pragmatic Engineer

Podcast ⸱ Jun 23, 2026 ⸱ 0 days 00:52:24

tldl: AI agents are writing code pretty much everywhere, and yet most teams and companies aren’t seeing those dramatic productivity gains. Or are they? In this keynote from Craft Conference in Budapest, Gergely Orosz from The Pragmatic Engineer, shows what AI is really doing to software engineering. He also shares practical advice on future-proofing your career.

6. “Biome and the Future of JavaScript Tooling” from Software Engineering Daily

Podcast ⸱ Jun 18, 2026 ⸱ 01h 02m 56s

tldl: Modern web development leans on an ever-growing collection of formatters, linters, bundlers and plugins, each with its own configuration, dependencies and performance cost. As applications grow more complex, maintaining that toolchain becomes a burden. Emanuele Stoppa, creator and lead maintainer of Biome and a systems engineer at Cloudflare, makes the case for Biome: a single open source toolchain that unifies formatting and linting for web projects, and points to where JavaScript tooling goes from here.
