As a developer with 15 years of JavaScript experience who has recently had to learn React & React hooks: They're fine, but weird. There's a lot to like in React, but I constantly wonder whether I've joined a cult. Somebod

Docker solved most of my problems but I used to simply have another user account on my home machine so my personal stuff doesn't mix with work. Makes it harder to get distracted by personal things, too.

AsciiDoctor has GraphViz (and PlantUML plus a few more) available inline (it handles the conversion for you). The syntax has a few differences to Markdown but it's not too hard to adapt plus it has a few other awesome features that I a

Personally I prefer https://github.com/jmespath/jp - it has a bit saner syntax based on an actual standard (at least for me it's easier to remember than jq). And perhaps more importantly it doesn't mess with

One of my absolute musts in a text editor is a feature that prompts for a command, pipes the selected text into it and replaces it with the command's output (for Visual Studio Code it comes as a plugin). So "Ctrl+A, Ctrl+\, '

I know, right? I've switched to using jp: its syntax is based on an actual standard and it clicks much more with me than jq's syntax. https://github.com/jmespath/jp

Here (Slovenia) you get told off severely if you don't come immediately when the pain starts. And if there's no pain but you feel a fluid buildup, you're supposed to get checked regularly until it subsides (am currently in th

It's not just drivers who don't let someone from the empty lane 'cut in' - there are those that stop completely and let in 3 or 4 'poor sods who were stuck on the wrong lane'. This breaks the system just as bad

Just use any Java framework or library, Kotlin can adapt to them quite easily.. We've used Ratpack with great success, we had to do a tiny bit of plumbing but it's great now and we open sourced our coroutine adapter (it was around

I .. cannot upvote this enough :) We're using an almost identical stack (Vue instead of React, but that's about it) and we love it! Going back to old projects using various ORM products makes me cringe nowadays, JOOQ + Postgres ar

No joke: I put the SC 2 battle song on infinite loop when I'm dealing with some serious shit, like a production server that crashed and the phones started ringing.. helps to keep me in the zone.

We are using it and it's great, so easy to also plug in your own metrics from whatever application you're running. I insisted with the management that we needed it on a new project and they were like 'fine if you insist, we d

I've had a bad experience with Uptime Robot - it only checked our server via IPv4. We didn't know IPv6 was down for far too long (it was a DNS problem).

I really really like what jOOQ has done for SQL under Java (and other JVM languages). It's basically a type safe interface to SQL that anyone who knows SQL can grok in minutes and it provides constructs to help bridge the gap between S

Another vote for Kotlin - it strikes just the right balances for me in the functional vs. objective and verbosity vs. readability ranges. Its connection to Java brings a huge ecosystem of tools and libraries to the table, but if you don&#x2

Another happy jOOQ user here! I'm ditching Hibernate wherever I can in favour of it. And using it with Kotlin instead of Java makes it almost a form of poetry.. I've seriously been thinking about writing a blog post, something alo
