i released the 2nd post, pondering the idea of ai-based coding and its potential impact on software development. this time i discuss the forces that drive the market and decision making (might feel a bit darker and more controversial than usual): www.ufried.com/blog/ai_and_... enjoy if you like ;)

Phantom types are an under appreciated feature in #Java. Can simulate typestate programming where an objects type changes to reflect current state, with operations available on that object depending on its current typestate. We can parametrise this using a base type and phantom type.

In my latest post we explore how to manage deep recursion in Java and Scala using thunks and trampolines. Learn techniques that help avoid stack overflows and make recursive code more efficient. #Java #Scala #FunctionalProgramming blog.scottlogic.com/2025/05/02/r...

Higher-kinded types provide abstractions allowing us to define operations once and reuse across many different data structures. In my latest post i explore how they work in #Scala and how we can simulate them ourselves using #Java blog.scottlogic.com/2025/04/11/h...
