In 2023 I wrote from scratch a iOS native app using SwiftUI. This year I used AI extensively to improve and add many features to it in a span of couple months. The app is free and there are at least 2 users of the app - myself and one complete stranger (not a family or a friend) that is using this app.

Java 21, Spring Boot 4.x, Spring AI 2.x - probably most boring stack that is working fantastic for me to generate solid, reliable code for agents, mcp servers using Claude Code or Cursor.

One of the best book on software as a craft - read it couple decades ago and still recommend it to anyone who wants to be good in this craft!

how many clusters, how many indexes and how many documents per index? do you use self hosted es or aws managed opensearch?

Fantastic accomplishment, Preston! Wish you good luck and the very best ahead!

Why is this a surprise/shock and news?! Obviously- every company wants to leverage data they have to train whatever llm model they may have.

For any web apps or API services, we monitor: - Uptime - Error Rate - Latency

Prometheus/Grafana

At least for me the readings that it shows are not accurate (when verified with old style finger pricking glucose monitoring machine). These CGMs are good for knowing the general variability of glucose level in your blood based on your diet exercise etc; I don’t trust the absolute numbers from CGM like Freestyle Libre - haven’t used any other one though yet.

One of my 2023 resolutions was to learn how to build an iOS app. I am happy to announce that finally a very not so fancy app that I built is now available on iOS App Store. And when I say - I built it - it is truly by me. Everything - design (however ugly or beautiful) and code is implemented by me - not outsourced to anyone!

It lets you keep track of your vehicles and associated details like services. It will require you to create an account to access all functionality.

The name of the app is: Motor Vehicle Log

It’s an MVP and it’s currently free! It is only available in US and on iPhone with iOS 17+

If you have time, please download and install this app and give me any feedback you may have! Send your feedback to [email protected]

Here is a direct link to the app at AppStore

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/motor-vehicle-log/id6475635799

Not sure if I will ever release a new version of this app but the feedback I will receive may motivate me to continue working on it through 2024 too!

Not sure the fascination about Go - one can write fully scalable functional readable maintainable upgradable rest api service with Java 17 and above.

Merry Christmas! Happy to have HN as one of my trusted resource on technology, new technology trend, and insightful information on varied topics other than technology!

Java 17, Hibernate, JPA, Spring Boot - all the way! Excellent combo! Reliable, high developer productivity, excellent community support, stable - have been using it for more than 8+ years now and won't think of using any other framework if I am going to build something in Java. Very easy to design, build, deploy, troubleshoot, maintain REST API Services! You won't go wrong at all if you choose Spring Boot.

When I read the heading I thought these are out of the box audit tables provided by Postgres. But the article then explains these are custom tables created by author - so this could very well be applicable to MySQL or any other databases

I started doing Java (and sql/Oracle) development in late 1990s and even today I am deploying REST APIs written in Java, MySQL to AWS. So, yeah, it has been about 23+ years so far!

Absolutely awful - whoever brought in this trend of "open office floor plan"! Please go back to having mini offices for everyone or at the very least cubicles with decent sized walls to get some privacy!

My personal website is for my family only - a simple chronological photo albums grouped by year - have been maintaining and using it for last 20+ years and had given immense amount of joy and conversation starters for my family. It’s a static website built using JAlbum. Nothing interactive more than navigating between photos and albums. Very very satisfied and happy that I did it and plan to continue ahead as long as I keep taking photos of family and family gatherings.

AWS SNS + SQS Fanout works pretty well and not too complicated.

Isn’t this true for every field - wine, front end development, highly scalable fault tolerant systems blah blah blah and so forth…

Indian coffee with chicory?

Why k8s? docker-compose works just fine.

Java aka Spring Boot 3.x

- Backend: Java - Front end: React - Persistence: MySQL and S3 - Dockerize containers for backend and front end - AWS CodeCommit for code repo - AWS CodeBuild and CodeDeploy for CI/CD - AWS ECS Fargate

Merry Christmas to all!

Excellent. Good decision.

As a vegetarian I always despised the idea of chewing/eating something that "just tastes like" meat! I do hope Burger King/McDonald's bring the real veggie patty burger (black bean or anything that is real vegetable/grains) back on their menu - so much convenient when traveling on the road!

Exactly 30 years ago I started my career programming in FoxPro ! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FoxPro
