ElasticSearch, Akka, Hashicorp, and Red Hat are starting to change their licensing models. What used to be considered open source (Apache, GPL, MIT) is morphing (with an asterisk) for the large open source projects that we know and love.
But what does that mean? Is open source over? or are we transitioning to a new reality? Is legislation going to help or hinder (like the EU CRA proposed laws)? Come take a listen as we dive deep into the open source ecosystem and how is it changing right before our eyes!

It IS time...and everyone is talking about it! With the new Large Language Models like OpenAI and Github Copilot, and Bard (and all the others), what does it mean for developers? Is it an existential threat? a doomsday scenario? or is all being blown out of proportion? Well, we start diving into the question on this episode with the usual suspects! Come, listen to this episode before we are all replaced by generative AI!

We are at it again! We went to DevNexus in Atlanta, and we have the WHOLE GANG showing up! It has been great catching up in person and oh boy, there's so much tech to talk about!
For this episode we have Brian Fox (@Brian_Fox), CTO of Sonatype talk about the importance of security across the supply chain. With new legislation coming regulating security and software pipelines it is the right time to discuss what is our role as developers in this.
An incredibly fun episode, with a quiz at the end (Powered by none other than ChatGPT) is an episode you don't want to miss!

So there it is! We go deep covering the interesting news of Spring Boot 3, and Spring Framework 6... and looking at the BASELINE requirement of Java 17... what does that mean for the industry? Are we now becoming more proactive in upgrading? (or do we still upgrade only when we need to?). This is a great episode where we explore what does it mean to have a high cadence, and what it also means to have our dependencies require an upgrade. We are much more dynamic now!

So, someone forgot to click on the "publish" button for December and we have an extra episode queued up! (Oh well)
We cover the new virtual conferences coming up for the Year 2023 that are coming up + we dive into the massive tech layoff happening (including of course twitter).
We then dive head-first on an ever-relevant question. "If you were to start a new project now, which Java version would you use". Do you stick with 11? Or jump into 17? or try a non-lts with 19? or (gasp), you go to 8? We dive into the pros/cons and what our esteem panel of pundits have to say about it. So take on and listen to the (lost) but very much relevant episode
