π€ Why have so many made the switch from #JavaEE to #JakartaEE?
Dominika Tasarz (Payara / Azul) has been part of Jakarta EE since Payaraβs participation in the projectβs transition from Java EE nearly a decade ago.
In recent years, they have shifted gears from implementation to growth, continuing to experiment and invent within the ecosystem and growing the Jakarta EE community.
Despite being a direct continuation of Java EE, there are several fundamental improvements:
πΈ Open, #VendorNeutral governance model
πΈ Modern cloud native microservices
πΈ Removal of legacy technical debt

Jakarta Faces is now much faster on GlassFish
GlassFish 8.0.4 renders the tested JSF pages about three times faster than the previous version. The same benchmark shows that GlassFish now renders JSF pages as fast as WildFly, Payara, and Tomcat.

An amazing engineer can still have little impact in the wrong culture.
π΄ Power: follow authority
π‘ Rules: follow process
π’ Generative: analyze context & trade-offs
Sometimes the bottleneck isn't engineering talent. It's the organization.

You donβt need to become a manager to become a leader. π¨βπ»
The more senior you become as a Software Engineer, the more your impact depends on:
π€ trust
π‘ influence
π£οΈ communication
π§ technical direction
You can stay an IC.
But you canβt ignore leadership forever.
You don't need to become a manager to become a leader. π
As a Staff Engineer or Architect, you need to:
π€ build trust
π¬ communicate clearly
ποΈ influence architecture
π― align people
Technical excellence needs influence to create impact.
