In this episode, I talk to Dan about his journey to being a Spring Developer Advocate and what his job actually entails. We also chat about all things Spring - the scope of the framework, how to go about learning it, the release cadence and how to keep up. We also discuss some key choices facing Spring developers today - AOT, Reactive vs Virtual threads, Spring Cloud, Kubernetes and more!
