Have been using Open Telemetry with Micrometer in a Spring Boot 3 microservices architecture. I have to say (regardless of framework of programming language) : structure your logs (like the article mentioned), use the tracing ID propagation and collect the logs in something like Elastic. This makes analyzing logs nice, especially if you’re in a Kubernetes cluster with many services with multiple pods.

Eh, what’s a dcp?

My go to hack was quickly running a python http server and connect to it. I can’t remember what the command was exactly. Something like python -m http.server or so, then connect to the ip from my phone, heh.

The language Java has nothing to do with the JVM. Use OpenJDK (temurin or the likes) instead, although I understand if you don’t have the freedom to do so.

Nonetheless, the suing part is damn stupid.

Java has gotten me lucrative jobs and I make a more than decent living thanks to it. And I bet I am not the only one.

People should stop hating on languages and just use what’s right for the job. I am no fanboy of Java or anything (I program in multiple languages), but saying it should die already is a weird take, IMHO.

Because it’s a statically compiled binary, it tends to grow the size of the binary. Increases portability though.

Wow I forgot I once made a DragonBall Z skin for winamp. It’s still there :D Blast from the past!!

Thanks to my experience, and other lead devs leaving the project, I’m sort of “pushed” in this role. I’m not sure if I like it or not. Sure they see value in what I can do, but it’s also more responsibilities and more meetings. I always liked it to go with the flow previously :D

Take this advice, especially if you are just starting with Linux. You can also install it in a VM if you are still running Windows, to get a feeling of different desktop environments (Gnome, xfce, KDE, etc) before choosing.

This is extremely helpful!! The filters are arcane and it really helped me out with something :D

Fish shell has this built-in with Ctrl+R :)

I’ve been trying out Helix as of late. It’s a bit different than vim, but I’m beginning to like it.

I just wished Joplin would store notes as some kind of plain text, like Obsidian does. I’ve also been trying out AppFlowy, which looks kinda promising (and Foss), but it stores notes in a db as well.

What’s wrong with TOML? I personally think it’s great for configuration purposes.

I’m no musician or whatever, more a hobbyist regarding that. I’ve used lmms to compose some tunes. Is Bitwig somewhat comparable?

The borrow checker is a cool, unique thing to try out though.

Although… In Rust you don’t try the borrow checker, the borrow checker tries you :)

My feeling is that AI is the new solution looking for too many problems to solve. I had the same feeling with microservices, big data, block chain, NoSQL databases and all those other hype driven development things. Different products and solutions exist to solve their respective problems. I notice that AI (notably since ChatGPT and related) are pushed in all directions.

You wasted three hours so you can share this knowledge :D

Try Flameshot for screenshots! I bound it to my printscreen key.

LaTeX has a steep learning curve, but using anything else for documents is like stone knives and bearskins in comparison.

Have you seen or tried “typst” yet? It’s a modern alternative to LaTeX. Haven’t tried it yet but looks promising.
