Last I was here I was chugging through some examples in my Eatup on a few different JVM related languages.\u00a0 Went well.<\/p>\n
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 my existence.\u00a0 It’s fine an dandy to do what you wish, but inside the small exosphere of a smaller city is tough to not have “The Grand Unified String Theory of All Techies” at hand, so decided to swim a bit further out into the surf and see if there are any larger waves and less single-minded beaches.\u00a0 I guess I miss the Twin Cities’ diversified atmosphere in many cases, such is the work of a devotee remotee.\u00a0 That said, I am soon starting up a newer group, more social-media oriented and probably geared towards us ruralites — there is a lot to learn about remote work and staying highly tuned as experienced developers and quality lifestyle. Note: until recently I have been as urban as they come since the late 1980’s — south side of Chicago and urban St. Paul MN.\u00a0 One of the biggest impediments is no access to any Indian food whatsoever . . .<\/p>\n
The company I am currently hitched to has some cool things going on and its been fun and I have engrossed myself.\u00a0 We are linked to an SAP project and they really take Spring configs to their ultimate bloody end.\u00a0 I didn’t think I’d be writing XML configs like this still, but am, and they still have their graces.\u00a0 But as is usual, code generators can be problematic for the non-NOOBS — things like generated DTO’s that don’t let you do Jackson-like notations to manipulate them more fine-grained.\u00a0 Still though, a business gives an engineer a palate to be creative around their needs in ways you may have never thought; anyone who can sit for 10 hours staring into code should be excited at the times we live in now.<\/p>\n
Most recently, having had been Enterprise for so long (meaning large teams on large software in large companies),\u00a0 I’ve gotten to work with some embedded developers and small project developers without Enterprise experience.\u00a0 It has rekindled my desire at times to be in full control of code, full ownership, on my own projects I have neglected.\u00a0 I am excited for them, and for anyone thinking about device programming or small microservice style programming.\u00a0 Just remember — because it’s *yours* does not mean ignore software basics on deployment, code quality, tooling, continuous integration, refactoring and patterns.\u00a0 So in many ways this blog is my *small* outlet.\u00a0 Not to be reductionist, but doing Agile coding you really don’t get to see the big picture, just a jeweler’s glass on one piece of the puzzle; and that can be dissatisfying at times.\u00a0 (On the other hand — Enterprise means BIG toys and I love that a well, and I love people in general.)<\/p>\n
Kotlin.\u00a0 Java.\u00a0 I keep seeing Kotlin buzz.\u00a0 I used to see Go buzz.\u00a0 I lived through Groovy buzz though still use it and Grails for small testing scenarios and prototyping.\u00a0 Java is not going anywhere.\u00a0 As annoying as their lambda implementation has been to me, and streams, someone will always have to use something like it to make service busses etc.\u00a0 C++ has went nowhere, nor Java, and C# fitting in much of that same sphere.<\/p>\n
