About this episode

Jim Grisanzio interviews Henri Tremblay about his experiences and insights from JavaOne 2026.

Jim Grisanzio from Oracle Java Developer Relations talks with Henri Tremblay at JavaOne 2026. Henri is a Java Champion, Montreal JUG leader, and EasyMock lead developer from Montreal, Canada. Henri's session at JavaOne covered the Java Memory Model, which is a topic he believes every Java developer should understand well. He's been to six JavaOne's and had warm words for the conference, which represents a rare opportunity to meet the people whose code runs on systems and devices all over the world. He had clear advice for developers: read books, understand how and why your code works, and get out there and join the community. On AI, Henri sees real value for efficiency and learning, but at the same time he warns against laziness, especially when reviewing code. For students and junior developers, he says they should also leverage AI for learning, but he advises that they internalize the fundamentals of software engineering.
