#152Spring Boot. What I learned is: I had no idea how much I hate "configuration".
Spring is a Java dependency injection system that uses XML-based configuration. Recognising that XML sucked, they later added 2 additional ways to specify configuration, which they call annotation-based configuration and Java-based configuration. Both kinds use annotations. Both kinds use Java.
Spring Boot is a layer on top of regular Spring that tries to make things simpler by automatically guessing what you're trying to do and configuring it for you, with something it calls auto-configuration.
Just trying to understand what makes what happen in a (very simple) Spring Boot app sucked weeks from my life.

So I wrote https://github.com/arcuru/chaz to connect any LLM to Matrix so that I could use any Matrix client with any LLM. That got me writing a Matrix bot account in Rust, and I couldn't fin…
Chaz looks really cool! It'd be awesome if you posted it to This Week In Matrix (room: [0]).
