Software is where the magic happens. Enigmatic tooting almost certainly does not refer to anybody who you might know.

I was laid off a month ago. I certainly feel differently than when I was furloughed mid-pandemic in 2020, almost 5 years apart to the week. It has been an interesting month of contemplation and emotions. For the moment I am planning to keep hacking code but I still need to make other decisions […]

#openrewrite is really neat. I used it to do some really impressive conversions. I haven't had this much fun since Jackpot refactoring in #netbeans. I do wish it had better error messages rather than dozens of 800 line stack traces. Expect to see some contributed conversions soon…

I played today with the #java #jep470 : PEM Encodings. The result was satisfying but anticlimactic.
https://github.com/bondolo/KeystoreWrapper/commit/0568ee065c5faf12723861960d571c7d782c37a0
So far the only quibble I have is that the implementation of `PEMEncoder.encode()` uses 8859-1 rather […]

I just "love" all of the #java security methods that fail if you pass null provider and instead require you to use a different method for default provider resolution.
Plus, still no mechanism for providers to offer a default SecureRandom algorithm. JDK-8229521

L’esprit d’escalier but for pull requests.
No matter how many times I self-review before submitting code I **always** find something that I want to add or change before others have a chance to review it.

The canceling of ICEBlock is more evidence, were any needed, that the Web is the platform of the future, the only platform without a controlling vendor. Anything controversial should be available through a pure browser interface.

Very disappointed to learn that the #apple AirPods Pro 3 still don't support Bluetooth Multipoint. Even though I have mostly Apple devices they use several different AppleIDs (personal, work, shared) so the iCloud multipoint is useless to me and I really don't like that it requires a network […]

A generative AI company that doesn't have a bot posting topical social media? Seems like a distinct lack of faith in their product.

Started with a new UI framework today and good news, I was plunged in to dependency hell before I even got it set up. I have spent nearly all my time figuring out what works with the other random versions. Many Internets have been downloaded.
