work so busy i forget to check in how’s everyone going

is bsky still popping

new blog post! "So You Want to Write Java in Neovim" ptrtojoel.dev/posts/so-you...

gonna check out the project valhalla ea build this week and see how value types are cooking

ddia progress the finish line is in sight!

for my java in neovim blog post i’m working on: i have setup dap and got it working very nicely, still some things i want to try before i can give an opinion on debugging (because i don’t use one)

ddia progress update

ddia progress

life so good beautiful waifu & kiddo surprise me with cannoli

3rd stripe we keep going

been so busy that the idea of posting more serious things here kinda goes out the window so maybe i will have to have some more fun as well

my son said his first two words together “bye dada” as i went back to my office 🥺

judo is very explosive and tough did 50% of rolls today focused on standup and my cardio got tested

last year i could do advent of code.. but this year i'm too busy being a parent to have time to even write hello world the kids grow fast

brought back anki to my life finally will have decks that aren’t just for japanese but all this stuff from ddia (and more tech related things)

gm have a good weekend! (mine is nonstop rain big sad)

slowly getting there

becoming more judo-pilled faster than expected to enhance my jiujitsu standup game martial arts are so fun!!

dealt with 4 PRs that all had conflicts today call me the polisher

what i love about jiujitsu is by understanding a concept you can teach it

had a meeting today about big jira changes and i am tired boss

java urlencoder encodes spaces as “+” you can guess what happens when an api expects the ‘other’ encoding for spaces..

ddia progress update

a downside of always using the latest jdk + preview features is jdtls takes time to support the latest jdk using java 23 pattern matching on primitives is bothering me so much with the lsp errors 😭

more work on the kvstore today maybe will look at disk persistence

goodnight (say it back)

makes me big sad when i see code that is mocked it's doing: - something that is pure - a network call

ok I made a starter pack specific to OCaml 🐫 it mostly includes people who work on OCaml or with OCaml, but also some people who've been engaging with OCaml or trying OCaml go.bsky.app/RCGiSqw if you want to be in this starter pack or get taken out of it, let me know!

started taking electrolytes this week and it’s made a huge difference for jiujitsu

I got two weeks to finish the second half of ddia or i’m ngmi

security endorsement achieved the project i've been leading will see daylight finally!!

need to remind myself to do hands + finger exercises sometimes i wake up with unhappy hands

so today i've discovered it's possible to mark a field as '@NotNull' but still slips through because of lombok (i think) will need to check on later on the actual why behind it but wow is this infuriating (discovered because of new behaviour i'm adding that caused null pointer exceptions in tests)

mornings with my son are the best gm

i have a 1:1 with my manager tomorrow (on career growth) potential to push in that staff eng direction maybe

gonna start calling modern java 'javaml' now

ddia chapter 6

modern java gets influenced by haskell so does this mean i need to become haskellpilled

part 1 down part 2 of ddia now!

my redis clone now has: - ping - set - get where’s my vc money

this week was one of the weeks of all time

Designing Data-Intensive Applications chapter 4 starts now!!

at the self checkout and as i’m leaving my son says “bye!” to the worker a year ago they only just started to crawl, they grow so fast 🥺

coming to a java codebase near you

always amazed at how great frontend tooling is pnpm, vite, vitest etc makes me very happy whenever i need to do some frontend work

gonna lock in and write the fp in java book review blog post this weekend as i’ve been meaning to do for a few weeks!!

java 24 will be another great release and hopefully the remaining virtual thread problems are solved by java 25 openjdk.org/jeps/491

many meetings this week have distracted me from reading ddia so hopefully i’ll have started chapter 5 by the weekend

BREAKING: OCAML WINS THE US ELECTION

wow it's pretty comfy here just as comfy as modern java
