I've been beating this drum for a while. Spring has lots of legacy as it is 17 years old and has been through a series of technology waves over the years. That has both benefits and drawbacks. With Spring Boot and Kotlin support it is

I don't finish 95% of my side projects and that is OK. Most side projects start because I have some interesting problem in my head that I want to solve and then I start obsessively solving it for a few days until it is solved or...unti

While saying yes to everything is an interesting way to learn new things. Keep in mind that saying no is also a skill to be learned. As a person currently struggling with always-say-yes related burnout symptoms I cannot stress enough how i

I really like my current technology stack which combines stable technology (Java, Spring, Postgres) with some modern cloud-native touches like Spring Boot, Docker and Kubernetes. Basically any new project (unless requirements show that it n

With Apple degrading the developer experience with each release and Microsoft working hard on things like WSL(2) and the new "package manager" I think within a year or 2 lots of developers will go back to Windows-based machines.

Cool project. I've been toying with and thinking about similar ideas lately but more focused on my productivity as a freelance software dev/ops person. My approach is basically to view myself as a distributed system that receives

There is zserge/webview which is a component that wraps the native webview on a given desktop platform. I haven’t checked it in detail but I’m curious if building an electron-style app framework with this is possible. https:/&#x2

I cannot comment on Vault as I have not tried it yet, but I am a happy user of sops for some deployments. In my case the secrets are stored in a sops-encrypted JSON file in the repository. Sops encrypts the secrets but keeps the JSON struct

If you're using terraform with multiple people and are having problems keeping the state in sync I would suggest looking at remote terraform backends and state locking. For example on AWS we use the s3 backend and a dynamodb table for

The stoics for example have a practice where they deliberately deprive themselves of basic things like food and warmth in order to appreciate those things more when they do have them.

I regret it took me 5 years of mobile development (both platforms) to realize I really don’t like writing GUI code. I switched to backend and infrastructure work and I’ve been a lot happier since.

I don’t know about the rest of the EU but in Belgium you cannot point it at the sidewalk. You can only film your own property, not a public space.

Try DigitalOcean Kubernetes with their hosted Postgres service. If I recall correctly you only pay for the worker nodes and don’t pay anything for the k8s master nodes

I don't know the situation on mobile but for cross platform Desktop the JVM is a great target for "write once, run everywhere", and Kotlin is a modern language that fixes or improves a lot of Java's common complaints. As

My view on this is a bit different. I see Kubernetes as the abstraction layer on top of the cloud providers. In the last few years I have set up multiple k8s clusters for clients who specifically do not want to be locked in to a certain clo
