Token-Efficient, Well-Crafted Java #livecoding

Live hacking session on token-efficient Java with LLMs, leveraging the language’s rich ecosystem and standards knowledge. It shows how experienced developers can use AI deliberately and productively, avoiding dependency bloat and low-quality “AI-slop,” while encouraging audience questions.

LLMs were trained on Java's vast open ecosystem, including JEPs, JSRs, Jakarta EE specs, MicroProfile, and decades of production code. This gives Java developers an unfair advantage in LLM-assisted development: the model already knows the standards you're building on. In this slideless live hacking session, we'll craft token-efficient Java in real time, and show how experienced developers can stay deliberate and productive without drowning in dependencies or producing AI-slop.
Your questions are highly appreciated!
