from Foojay.io, the Friends Of OpenJDK! · host Foojay.io | Java and Programming Community
This is part 2 of the interviews recorded on September 19th, 2025, at the first AI4Devs Conference (https://amsterdam.ai4devs.io/) in Amsterdam. In Part 1, we explored many AI-related topics as libraries, security, infrastructure, use cases, and more. In this second part, we'll dive into data science, tools for better AI development, Java in the cloud, and get a behind-the-scenes look at how the conference came together. I also asked these guests the same opening question: 'What's your name, and what brings you to this conference?'00:00 Introduction00:43 Eileen Kapel Data Scientist, building an evaluating a model, taking the enduser into account https://www.linkedin.com/in/eileenkapel/ 06:13 Jonathan Ellis and Ryan Svihla Coding with AI with Brokk, AI-native code platform, Java language improvements while keeping stability https://www.linkedin.com/in/jbellis/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryan-svihla-096752182/ https://brokk.ai/ https://foojay.io/today/indexing-all-of-wikipedia-on-a-laptop/ 16:24 David Parry Qodo, AI developer tools, empowering engineering teams to standardize code quality and move fast with AI https://www.linkedin.com/in/daviddryparry/ https://www.qodo.ai/ 28:46 Alessandro Stefouli-Vozza Java in the cloud, Impact of our job on the environment and our future, Green Software Foundation, Dutch Cloud Native meetup and conference https://www.linkedin.com/in/alessandrovozza/ https://cloudnative.amsterdam/ https://greensoftware.foundation/ Article by Miro about energy usage: https://foojay.io/today/research-measuring-energy-consumption-in-programming-languages-for-ai-applications/ 35:02 Sushant Shekhar Using Java and AI, Moved from Java to other languages and back, Building your own models versus tweaking https://www.linkedin.com/in/sushant-shekhar-2b43ba17/ 39:09 Arno Koehler Organisator, Ai code experiments versus production use, Schiphol POC, Kotlin versus Java versus Scala, The power of the JVM https://www.linkedin.com/in/arnokoehler/ 45:37 Joost Kaan About organizing the conference, Python and Java driving AI forward https://www.linkedin.com/in/joost-kaan/ 50:45 Coen de Waal, Samantha Burattini, and Luis San Martin Conference sponsor, Use of AI in a banking environment https://www.linkedin.com/in/coen-de-waal/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/samantha-burattini/ 54:51 Nahir Vila Student, How the youth is using AI 57:33 Jonathan Vila AI4Devs Organizer, How the conference started and a lookback at the end of the day, How AI can be used when writing articles https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathanvila/ 01:05:58 Outro
