Choosing a tech stack for your start-up is not something to do lightly. Read how Picnic ended up picking Java: blog.picnic.nl/why-picnic-pic… We're still benefitting from the vibrant ecosystem and the sustained innovation on the #java platform every day!

And Spring Boot ;-) Thanks for sharing Josh Long!

Most devs know about using static analysis to spot bugs in code. What if you could fix them? And not just for bug patterns but for any #coding pattern? 👉Sander Mak ([email protected]) of Picnic reveals the tools you can use for streamlining large-scale #Java development youtu.be/C5MBsKZHqrY?li…

We're hosting the AmsterdamJUG meetup at Picnic Thursday next week. Two cool talks and lots of #java peers to connect! See you there? meetup.com/amsterdam-java…

🗣️ "Debezium is an exciting CDC implementation which enables you to stream database changes to Kafka" Excellent write-up by David Mischke about Picnic's adoption of #Debezium in a data pipeline from #Postgres to S3 and #Snowflake. Nice one! blog.picnic.nl/using-change-d…

Almost forgot how much work creating a new talk is. Still worth it, though!

On my way to Devoxx Poland 🇵🇱 11 - 13 June 2025 with a bit of delay. Looking forward to talking about the Art of Software Development tomorrow morning! devoxx.pl/talk-details/?…

Very nice surprise coming back from my holiday. Always great to be at Devoxx!

My GOTO Amsterdam talk from last June has just been published, hope you like it!

Come and learn how Picnic evolves its warehouse systems architecture to keep up with our growth and increasing degree of robotization!

A delivery startup that “won” home delivery in the Netherlands is called Picnic. They deliver within a half-hour slot. Need to order days ahead. You need to apply on a waitlist & wait until spots free up. It is the most reliable option. Their trucks: picnic.app

A traveled to the top of a Volcano in Hawaii to capture this: Saturn briefly covered by the moon. One of the most difficult shots I’ve captured and a bucket list moment, this event gave me a new perspective on the solar system. I’ll have it available in print for a short time.
