JCON Report, Part 4 - Tips and Tricks for Java Devs (#75)

Foojay.io, the Friends Of OpenJDK!

This is the final part of the JCON 2025 interviews with a lot of tips and tricks!
In the three previous podcasts, we featured interviews from the JCON conference on "Being a better Java developer," "Evolutions in Java," and "How to use AI with Java." However, we talked to many more people during the conference, so this podcast focuses on tips and tricks. Let's learn from the many other experienced visitors of JCON.
