When Product Met Tech A Love Story Written in Stack Traces Once upon a sprint, Product declared: “This feature is simple. Just a button. Users will love it.” Tech stared into the void, which suspiciously resembled the legacy auth module, the monolithic database, and a CI

Upgraded to Spring Boot 3 (yes i am late). Found out `Clark Kent is a decorative corpse`. You now need `@EnableMethodSecurity(prePostEnabled = true)` to reanimate it. Laughable. Thankfully, I had tests. Which is ironic, because I wanted to test my code, not Spring’s trust

TinyPod When I was young, I hacked my iPod nano into a makeshift Apple Watch. Because nothing screams innovation like taping tech to your wrist. Now? The cycle is complete. Behold: the Apple Watch… as an iPod. Nostalgia? Check. Clever? Absolutely. Ergonomics? Hmm. The design

AI Groundwork == Automation. Automate or Fossilize. There's a delightful little study from McKinsey - they say automation boosts productivity by ~40%, slashes costs by ~50%. But sure, keep doing your 17-step manual deployment and team standups to plan the next team standup.

Zero Trust Login How I Stopped Reading Your Data in my services I build systems where not even the almighty admin (me) can read your data. No backdoors. No db.users.find(). Just encrypted chaos. Beautiful, unreadable, untouchable chaos. Security isn't magic, we are just scared

Garbage in, garbage out – even Agentic AI can’t save you from yourself. Artificial intelligence is only as brilliant as the data it’s spoon-fed – and spoiler alert: your data is often trash. Whether it’s traditional machine learning, generative models, or your shiny new agentic

Another Monday. Humanity insists on repeating this mistake 😅

This Is Why Top Talent Is Ghosting Your Company (And It’s Not What You Think) You thought it was salary. Or perks. Or the office espresso machine. Adorable. No—it’s you. Let’s talk home office—the productivity paradise you fear more than data breaches. I love the office. Truly.

Why @Annotations Will Eventually Burn You. Preach annotation voodoo or embrace explicit method calls? Too many still cling to Clark Kent, entrusting their fate to framework black magic. But such blind faith is brittle. One innocent Spring Boot update, and suddenly your

Developers can summon 20,000 lines of framework incantations. But writing 100 lines of pure Java, and suddenly, their keyboards break. Frameworks were supposed to simplify things. Instead, we’ve built microservices with the elegance of a collapsing Jenga tower. Defended layers

🚨 Google Cloud has issues. Would you survive, when your provider goes offline? Shocking. A multibillion-dollar cloud provider made by humans turns out to be… human. No divine intervention, just software duct-taped together by caffeine and deadlines as in every other company.

TECHNICAL DEBT is like a ROTTING ROOF On rainy days, it's too wet to fix it. On sunny days, there's no leak… so you ignore it. Then one day, boom, ceiling caves in, buckets everywhere, and you're duct taping production at 2am. That's technical debt. Not just messy code. Not

JetBrains builds brilliant tools. No question. But somewhere along the way, something shifted. The IDE that once felt like a sleek exosuit now wears more like a lead apron. Familiar, powerful but exhausting. Remember Eclipse? I do. Grew up with it. Then grew out of it, death by

💰 Salary, 🌟 Development, 😊 Joy. Everyone in your Team needs these values. Pick two? You won't last. Yes, you can earn well without joy. But your weekends vanish. Your energy dies. Your money gets spent on escape. Yes, you can love your job and get paid well. But if you're

We don't need more. We need less. Every week: 🧠 A new framework. ⚙️ A new "layer". 🤖 A new AI wrapper. 🔄 A new YAML format to abstract what used to be a shell script. And then we wonder: "Why is our software hard to debug?" "Why do our builds break randomly?" "Why is
