So much of my way of writing code these days depend on insights from production and rapid feedback loops. Having good logging that can be queried is one important tool for achieving that. Here's my main tips for how to enable it in Logback: blog.f12.no/wp/2023/08/08/…

Gearing up for speaking at @kotlinconf . Excited to share experiences with @htmx_org and @JetBrainsKtor . Will I see you there?

@javazone ✅ 🙂

The weekend’s approaching — keep us busy! We’re waiting for your talk proposals for #JavaZone2025. Got something cool, challenging, or just plain weird to share? Send it our way! ℹ️ More info: 2025.javazone.no/en/speaker

Props to the @flydotio team for honest reflection and on deciding to do a managed DB. 👏 "There is, obviously, a huge gap between those two things. We filled it with something weird." go.news.fly.io/deliveries/dgS…

I made a curated list of some really good resources on Continuous Delivery. Let me know if you have something I should add. :-) blog.f12.no/wp/2025/01/14/…

Reminder: Many systems only need a database. And monoliths are fine for many things. Enough with all the infra complexity already.

@antonarhipov Thanks, I'll be sure to check that out. Instana looks close, and I guess Dynatrace is too. Pricing might be insane through. Splunk seemed a bit too focused on logs, do you have experience with their APM?

@anderssv Maybe Datadog? Lightrun, Digma, Splunk, Instana... Actually the list of options is pretty long: github.com/antonarhipov/a…

APM... I miss New Relics APM, but it is not an option now. For reasons. Is there anything I can use that comes close? Maybe open source, but at least on-prem-ish-able? Opentelemetry agent could come close, but the analysis/UI part of the equation seams weak. What is the best?

A bit more about the LSP. Seems the design of the LSP protocol is an issue for interop between languages on the JVM. devclass.com/2024/11/21/int…

Kotlin development in VSCode? Anyone have a functional setup? Is it even possible? Everything I try just pales in comparison to IDEA.

@htmx_org Want to try. Not easy to understand the immediate benefits though, what would be better? Or just different

@anderssv also give data-star.dev a try for use cases like this

Synchronised updates between browser windows without JavaScript! KTor, @htmx_org and ServerSentEvents! #htmx #ktor #nojs Full blog here: blog.f12.no/wp/2024/11/11/… If you're in Oslo I am doing a talk on Wednesday: meetup.com/meetup-group-n…

@augustl Is one though, but seems not to be maintained. :( github.com/fwcd/kotlin-la…

@anderssv JetBrains deliberately doesn't make a LSP for Kotlin so I doubt the tooling will be good enough 🥲

Awesome! Synchronized updates for browser windows with just @htmx_org and ServerSentEvents! 😄🚀 #noJS blog.f12.no/wp/2024/11/11/…

How I can manage a imported script that uses a require(...) for a third script _in the browser_? Initial script is imported with type module... Tried import-maps, but not even sure if they should work for this.

@riddler63 Might try thinkfan again, but the 550 drivers (ppa) seems to work fine now. Still a bit hot, but no crashes.

Ubuntu started spontaneously rebooting after upgrade to 24.04. Had to downgrade to 23.10. Helped a little bit if you find yourself in the same situation: askubuntu.com/questions/1515…

@stromhylden I think it requires you to type the word even if someone else has added it already?

@anderssv F.eks mentimeter.com/features/word-… ?

Lazyweb are you there? 🙂🙏 Presentation poll that is a wordcloud where users can enter their own words AND lets them click on a existing one to "vote" for that too? 🙂

@allenholub I find the constructs in Kotlin helps me write better more robust code (IMHO). So while there's no big deal doing Java, Python og JS. I would feel over time that we were wasting resources. Culture and consensus in the team would be most important though. 🙂

The more I program, the more I realize that the implementation language doesn’t matter much. As long as you’re not fighting the language to get simple stuff done, pick whatever language you like best. I’ve written a lot of code in Java, and don’t think there’s anything particularly wrong with that. I don’t really understand where all the hate comes from. That said, if I was doing a new project with a lot of logic on the back end, I'd probably go with Kotlin instead. I’m not at all a fan of the thinking that programs are just big piles of functions. We tried that 30+ years ago, and it didn’t work out very well. Consequently, I would probably pick a language that allowed for some kind of structure in the source code at the language level.

The single most important thing I have learned about software development over my career is that if you do not aggressively fight complexity, it will eat you alive.

I miss the "pure" like in Spotify 🥺
