What's in this PR

A new article introducing Jenesis, a Java build tool that reads the build from module-info.java (draft/introducing-jenesis/), plus my author profile (content/authors/rafael-winterhalter/).

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Other

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 2cda4

The new profile image needs to meet the site’s size requirement, and the draft should state that its documented build command requires JDK 25 or newer. These are localized issues; the PR is mergeable with the corrections tracked.

Before / after behavior

• observed — Modified behavior in content/authors/rafael-winterhalter/_index.md: Adds Rafael Winterhalter’s author profile metadata, including his professional biography and social, video, and website links.
• observed — Modified behavior in draft/introducing-jenesis/index.md: Adds article metadata and an introduction contrasting Java’s recent language and platform changes with build configuration that duplicates project information and requires downloading a build tool.
• observed — Modified behavior in draft/introducing-jenesis/index.md: Adds a critique of Maven 4 and alternative build tools, arguing that they retain a separate build description, and introduces Jenesis as an approach that uses no build file.
• observed — Modified behavior in draft/introducing-jenesis/index.md: Adds discussion of feedback-loop speed, coding agents, and fresh environments, presenting Jenesis as requiring only a JDK and project checkout to build.
