Spring Boot is the de facto platform on #java. Another fact is that the startup time is slow making it difficult or impossible to use with AWS Lambda. Many tricks have been tried, but is the cold start problem finally solved? aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/…

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I can’t believe how shitty Screen Time on iPhone is. I bet the developers are not parents nor use the product themselves! #iphone #screentime

* People ask LLMs to write code * LLMs recommend imports that don't actually exist * Attackers work out what these imports' names are, and create & upload them with malicious payloads * People using LLM-written code then auto-add malware themselves vulcan.io/blog/ai-halluc…
