Is it "Ctrl + Alt + L" or "Ctrl + Shift + L" 🤔 Thankfully I don't need to memorize them anymore. Just dot dot www.youtube.com/watch?v=waY6... #Java #IntelliJIDEA #Tips

It's vibe coding only if you don't know what you're doing. A software engineer using AI to speed up development isn't vibe coding. Someone who's never developed anything and doesn't know how AI generated code works is vibe coding.

Using ":latest", ">=3.12", "^7.1.0", "~3.0.4", etc is nothing but asking for the trouble. Just specify the exact version you want to use. With tools like Renovate and Dependabot, updating to newer versions can be simple without all this lock file headaches.

While there are countless guides available for starting with Spring Boot, developing production grade applications requires understanding best practices & avoiding common pitfalls. Discover do's and don'ts of creating REST APIs with #SpringBoot in this video:

1⃣ Should I write more Unit test or Integration Tests? 2⃣ Should I use Mockito or In-Memory Implementations for testing? 3⃣ Should I aim for 100% Test Coverage? 4⃣ How to enforce a common coding style in a team?

When it comes to software architecture, the well-known styles are Clean/Hexagonal/Onion Architectures. But I don't recommend them anymore. Here is why 👇 tomato-architecture.github.io TLDR: I still value the core principles they recommend, but I hate the dogma around them. #TomatoArchitecture 🍅

I strongly recommend watching the latest Marco show, which was hosted by @jetbrains.com where he interviews Gavin King, the creator of Hibernate, to gain some insights into its myths and ORMs in general.
