I stuck around for a long time, didn't want to give up the community we had here because of a billionaire douchebag but this is a bridge too far.
Maybe, one day, he sells Twitter but until then:

In the good old days, it was greedy billionaires that drove the internet's enshittification - now AI is coming for their jobs:
1) train AI on public data
2) use AI to publish slop
3) use AI slop to train worse model
Congrats, we automated enshittification. ๐ฌ๐

That said, there are claims that this doesn't have to happen and that there are processes to lessen or even prevent this effect. I guess we'll see.

Two bonus objectives:
1. Clearly communicate all this in your documentation, including the error message (so a search leads to the right place) and an explanation why the option is necessary (so users don't cargo-cult). E.g. junit-pioneer.org/docs/envirโฆ

๐ข PSA for #Java FOSS maintainers:
If your project requires a command line flag that gives access to operations that can undermine integrity (openjdk.org/jeps/8305968; e.g. `--add-opens` or `--enable-native-access`), don't only mention `ALL-UNNAMED` but also your module's name.

"But my project doesn't come as a module."
Change that. ๐ Or at least set an automatic module name (dev.java/learn/modules/automโฆ).
"But nobody uses modules."
While somewhat true, maybe this changes if users can see their benefits. E.g. *not* having to leave their door open.

This is the difference between asking users to hand you the keys to their house vs to leave their door open. I wouldn't be comfortable asking them the latter without at least mentioning that there's a better option.

Have you heard about "pinning"? That thing virtual threads do when encountering `synchronized`? Starting with #Java24, that will be a thing of the past.

Parts of Leyden and other CDS improvements are now in JDK mainline, in time for JDK 24 fork. The improvements are visible even on simple HelloWorld-style examples. There are even more things to squeeze!
