- Are you guilty of over-engineering?
-
If you listen to other language communities - such as Python or Ruby, it seems Java developers have a strong tendency of over-engineering.
Perhaps they’re just jealous of our superior platform (wink), perhaps there is some very slight reason that they believe so. I do believe so. And it’s quite interesting that I realized it by doing code review - while I may be guilty of over-engineering myself when writing code. But I’m working on it.

Engineering is never about perfection, but about "good enough". This post is a good example of an engineering approach.

The more I read about UV, the more I want to try. I’m too lazy to migrate one of my current Python projects; I need to wait to create a new one.

- OpenTelemetry resource attributes: Best practices for Kubernetes
-
The good thing is that if you’re using the kubernetesAttributes of the OpenTelemetry Helm Chart collector, nearly of these data are for free. On my OpenTelemetry demo, the only thing I had to do was to manually set the container’s name, because there’s no way to get it from anywhere.
spec: containers: - name: analytics image: {{ .apps.analytics.image }} env: - name: OTEL_RESOURCE_ATTRIBUTES value: k8s.container.name=analyticsA small price to pay.

- The State of Scala & Clojure Surveys: How is functional programming on JVM doing
IMHO, binding the success of functional programming on the JVM to Scala and Clojure is a big mistake.
- Scala was never the success its proponents wanted it to be
- The Python 2 to 3 migration has shown that a major version migration take years
- There’s a risk that the migration from Scala 2 to Scala 3 migration fails
- Clojure is a niche language
