Generating OpenAPI and PostMan Collections with Q

Generating out descriptive schema for your existing applications that AI can well. Working on a Grails API application, I am using with BurpSuite DAST to do some security testing on a regular basis for it. I’ve needed an API list of endpoints for their API security scan feature for quite some time, that’s easy to […]

GitHub Becoming 2FA

GitHub is switching most of the sites now to 2FA. The warning has been out there since at least 2023. Just now, on my current team’s site, have I gotten the message. Our organization is now doing this. Check it out here on GitHub. As of March 2023, GitHub required all users who contribute code […]

Amazon Q Reviews with GitHub Repos

This is about hooking up Amazon Q to GitHub, so it can code review your pull requests.  Also, to see what happens if you have an unsupported language reviewed (Groovy, and for supported looking at Java). List of Q supported code review languages as of today is here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazonq/latest/qdeveloper-ug/q-language-ide-support.html Here is a printout of the […]

Audio Driver Removal in Sequoia 15

I use some Skullcandy Smokin’ Buds with my work Mac running Sequoia 15 for use with meetings at times — but whenever they disconnect the audio driver reverts to one of the virtual audio drivers I had installed (and wasn’t using) for screen recordings. So, I could be in a meeting, disconnect my earbuds and […]

Infrastructure/AI – Decentralized

Have started a project building decentralized cloud and AI infrastructure. I’ve been working on several projects for the last several years, mostly on job sites, and feel my work/family life is at a good balance as to where I can start producing off hours tech again. I’ve always just been a builder, very simply, and […]

A Plan for Quality

Here’s a plan for team code quality I’ve devised over a several years of working with different applications. Most of these can be done open source. Each category represents a type of monitoring methodology. This is by no means comprehensive, but is a good guide for the type of project hygiene that has to be […]

Meetings and Studies and Bizzies

I haven’t been at this in a while although I have a backlog of things to write about that I have been accumulating from my readings and talks with other devs associates over the last few years.  Unfortunately some of it is timely technical material and the relevancy has probably fallen by the wayside. One […]

Hard Work

”The secret of success is making your vocation your vacation.” – Mark Twain. I was reading through some Code Newbie tweets and was quite impressed with the enthusiasm of potential developers who had little, if any, work experience.  Well I’ve got some news for them. Know that stress you are having at finding your first […]

Meetings Greetings – ECTech Future

Last I was here I was chugging through some examples in my Eatup on a few different JVM related languages.  Went well. So after that I dropped the ECTech Meetup subscription, it was not fruitful and the tech scene had gotten taken over in my area by non-Java lovers doing things that don’t pertain to […]

Ant, IntelliJ, and Eclipse

And it’s way in the future and here we are again arguing about which IDE is better: IntelliJ or Eclipse.  It never goes away.  And NetBeans is still the choice of newbs, and gets cast aside for enterprise work.  Personally I never look at it so it’s not in this discussion.  We are talking PRACTICE.
