Foojay Podcast #79: AI4Devs Interviews – Part 1

AI changes how we write and ship code every week, and the questions pile up faster than the answers. At the first AI4Devs conference in Amsterdam on September 19th, 2025, I grabbed my camera and microphone to talk with speakers and attendees about what actually works. In this first part we hear from Christian Tzolov and Josh Long, Brian Vermeer, Camille Nigon and Maarten Vandeperre, Luca Berton, Soham Dasgupta, Mary Grygleski, and Anton Arhipov in Foojay Podcast #79.

What we talked about

• Spring AI, Spring MCP, and Spring Security
• AI and security responsibilities for developers
• Quarkus, scaling AI applications, and LLM costs
• Infrastructure for AI applications
• Real-life AI use cases
• Event-driven agents for complex flows
• Java and Kotlin at JetBrains, and the Junie AI assistant
