Keeping up to date with technology
summary
Claims a repeatable workflow: use AI agents to scaffold examples, feed JEP URLs and run Panama API vectors from Java, but the agent hallucinates on Apple silicon and needs human oversight. Recommends starting small — an empty file with Java 25 start without ceremony or JBang/Gradle, tinkering twice a week, and subscribing only to high-signal sources while deliberately ignoring the rest. Includes a live AI-driven demo that sometimes fails, proving the method but not automating expertise.
