**This is the final part of the JCON 2025 interviews with a lot of tips and tricks!**

In the three previous podcasts, we featured interviews from the JCON conference on "[Being a better Java developer](https://foojay.io/today/foojay-podcast-72/)," "[Evolutions in Java](https://foojay.io/today/foojay-podcast-72/)," and "[How to use AI with Java](https://foojay.io/today/foojay-podcast-73/)." However, we talked to many more people during the conference, so this podcast focuses on tips and tricks. Let's learn from the many other experienced visitors of JCON.
