Nuanced take @amoldethe Indian banks also don't spend enough on tech, Nearly a third of the global average of 350 - 400 bps on topline. beyond the large tech companies that have the ability to extract, there is a large platoon of tech providers who get paid peanuts and as they say when you throw peanuts you get monkeys. I also think its more structural than intent, everyone from the person running an RFP or procurement process all the way to the CEO negotiates or caps how much the bank pays for a service causing misaligned incentives. bfsi.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/editors-v…

I'm finally internalizing the lesson that acquisitions are always terrible for the product. So long @GetInsomnia 🥲 github.com/Kong/insomnia/…

Whenever Zerodha declares its results, a bunch of VCs and unicorn founders go into depression.

We replaced our monolith with micro services so that every outage could be more like a murder mystery.

@DanielMoraru17 @mariofusco I guess it’s a YMMV thing and IMO there are plenty of code generators that much more straightforward, and don’t try to hack the JVM internals in an unsupported and unspecified way(often leading to issues as you upgrade your Java version)

@vedant_shety @mariofusco I don't want and don't need to see any boiler plate code... that's the value of lombok for me, cleaner code and I have not met any developer that wad confused by it

I always disliked Lombok, but now I really don't see why keeping using it at all. Tell me one single valid reason why you should use it with modern Java.

@laurspilca Can we see the ToC anywhere?Loved your books on spring. Can‘t wait for this one

It's official... My third book "How to Read Java" will be renamed into "Troubleshooting Java" 😍 What do you think about the final cover? The man with a shovel is still here to help you build your skills and burry your fears in investigating #Java apps execution.

Surprised that Go is still on version 1.x. If they bumped the version, I think it would be way more popular as a Go 2 programming language

@nkitpati @RetroTechDreams Quantity ≠ Complexity. There’s far less incentive to build a browser engine when you can just use Blink( Chromium) and really while gecko is funded by google it’s owned and developed mozilla.

@vedant_shety @RetroTechDreams Humour me, old friend. How many browser engines versus kernels are actively developed? A sum total of 3 browser engines, two of them fully funded by Google (Blink and Gecko): #Timeline" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Browser_e… OS kernels? Count for yourself (not all active dev): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compariso…

Genuine Windows XP. Remember when you had to pay for operating systems? #windowsxp

@nkitpati @RetroTechDreams browsers these days are more complex than the OSes they run on Wow seriously. I expected this from a web developer at best.

@RetroTechDreams No one has *had* to pay for operating systems since 1977. Why people continue to pay to this day is perhaps the most baffling modern unsolved mystery. I mean people no longer pay for browsers, and browsers these days are more complex than the OSes they run on, so…

A good day of coding is one where you get to shout, "Finally! A different error message!"
