Sometimes I miss the “not” and laugh a little bit…

Copy files and do a

python3 -m http.server

Very simple and does the job.

Quite an effective way to destroy someone’s reputation and ego.

What a colleague! Haha!

We didn’t have a CEO for half a year… What changed? Nothing…

Then we got a new CEO… His new policies caused loss of revenue so we had to fire 50 people…

Thank god for that save

Here is the expendability graph

If the guy with the “don’t-turn-off”-server gets fired everyone know that the ship will sink

Can we praise Thor after?

What if those chains handle thousands of massages per second?

Serious backend is indeed a stretchy term. And I agree with that point b2b java is common. But our b2b backend handles multiple thousands of massages per second. I find the bottleneck to be MySQL and RabbitMQ.

I think it makes sense for a serious backend to have load balancing and nginx cache and horizontal scaling. I reckon QPS doesn’t matter as much as you think it does.

I still don’t think that java would be considered niche. I rather think that C or C++ would be considered niche. It takes longer to develop, and is not memory safe so I don’t think that most backend systems should consider it.

Most developers are not going to create the next kubernetes. For me it is usually down to earth integrations. Take this file from s3, send as email and sftp here. Create API to proxy another API. Take messages from Kafka, put on rabbitMQ. Save messages from rabbitMQ to database.

I think Java is very strong with libraries. Especially with Spring Boot and camel. I don’t really see it as niche but more of a plain boring peanut butter sandwich. Boring. Unexciting. But works.

I am however trying to convince my boss to allow kotlin. Which has access to all the java libraries

I have a colleague like that too, and then the other camp that loves MySQL.

Why do you like postgres
