    There are actually some patterns to deal with this, such as Saga - I'm actually working on a project (not open-source yet) related to this specific problem. You can reach me at can…

    Threads are similar to slideshows - you can put a few bullet points that sound reasonably correct, but lacking in detail and context and you mostly forget about it after you read i…

    Your salary is only partially based on "the value created by employee" - most of it is the market forces of supply and demand. When you're remote, you're competing with a much larg…

    I'll do a shameless plug of our modern Java benchmarking story here for the doubters: https://jet-start.sh/blog/2020/06/09/jdk-gc-benchmarks-part1

    The license is meant to prevent service-wrapping by cloud providers, other than that it doesn't have any implications for standard usage. The core library / server is Apache 2 and …
