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.
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.
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
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 waited for 2 light-years at the doctor’s office.
What’s wrong with TOML? I personally think it’s great for configuration purposes.
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.
Nitpick: a lightyear is a measure of distance, not of time :)
