Welcome to issue number two hundred and twenty-four of Hashtag Jakarta EE!

I am home from Devnexus 2024 just in time for writing this post. Since most of last week was dedicated to the Jakarta EE track at Devnexus which I covered in the blog post from the event, I will keep this Hashtag fairly short. The upcoming week will be spent at home before I travel eastward to India for GIDS.
