I love storage and filesystems, and I am really looking forward to play with bcachefs. Now bcachefs can be tested easily by millions and build a solid reputation as a true next generation Linux filesystem.

I am a big fan of Spring Boot, its one of the few frameworks that just works and let me focus 100% on solving business problems. I've tried Micronaut, Quarkus, Dropwizard, but they slow me down too much compared to just using Spring Bo

I am in the same situation and I am being honest about that is currently only me. My plan is to hire people, business developers, project managers and engineers. But there has to be work for them before I hire.

You can just run Pulsar standalone which is super-simple, it is a great start and scales just fine for one machine. Once you outscale one machine, you can refactor Pulsar into a distributed setup. The advantage is that everything is still f

I think it is, just as Gradle is Java. Groovy is a superset of Java, and makes some parts of Java development better. I for example write many tests with Groovy or implement DSLs for my clients with Groovy.

This 100x, C# and Java are also very similar programming languages. C# may be a better language, but the difference is minimal. Most C# developers claiming that C# is a better language often don't know Java. I remember one C# guy telli

I just tested, I had to use pg_upgrade. Error message: The database cluster was initialized with CATALOG_VERSION_NO 202306141, but the server was compiled with CATALOG_VERSION_NO 202307071.

I can explain why. Java is great for web, api's and most things. But Java is not really that great for doing data science. Python is great for data science, the Python community has put a great effort making Python "The place to b

I recently launched a startup, we use Java, some Python and even a little bit of Rust. For web we also use plain Javascript. We will most likely add some GoLang and C/C++ for specific problems we need to solve in the future. But using

For 10 years ago I was in the position of both of you. I hate being ineffective, but because of company policies I just had to go along. Anyway, the madness inside made me quit and after that I've booted several successful startups. Qu

The big problem with Powershell vs Unix is lack of documentation. Seriously, everything takes 100x less time to figure out on a Unix platform than Powershell. And my life is to short for that.

I have self hosted Gitea, but its for my team, and you can only reach it with my self hosted wireguard. It is not a lot of work at all, I update the Gitea lib a few times every year and its as simple as replacing one binary file.
