In the most of spring boot projects, what folks call the "architecture" is just how files are located in packages

We went to serverside:
- Native Spring Boot and Ktor support
- IDE support, intelligence works even in a broken build
- Extract to template
- You can create project/module without reading docs and using generators like start.spring.io
Just give it a try!

Geocoding is hard: did you know that Australia is constantly drifting by 7cm/year or something approximately like that? So you stored coordinates in the DB. Year after you're cooked

An interesting paper on why C no longer maps well to modern hardware. Instead of continually optimizing hardware design to support legacy abstractions like the serial execution model of C, the paper points out it is time to rethink the programming model itself. 🧵

Have you heard the story that VSCode started blocking extensions in forks, like Cursor?
This is what happens when you don't own the platform
But the problem is a bit deeper. The whole open-source isn't that open, in fact
There are companies behind most of the projects. They don't want to compete

Once again, I'm digging into classloading debugging, let's find out how deep is the rabbit hole

Of course you can take roocode or cline and just add openai compatible custom api key
But what could be more customizable as anything written from scratch
For now it’s not to much to write
Besides it could be vibe-engineered, and then bootstrapped

Different levels of understanding some particular tech
1. I bruteforce until it works
2. I finally get how exactly it works, but why it is designed so poorly, couldn't they come up with a better solution?
3. They can't because life is hard and programming is hard

Interesting thing, despite of MCP fetch doesn't prevent you from getting data from the websites, it turns out that without a jailbreak you can't bypass robots.txt
This is actually good news! So if you don't want LLMs to parse any content you serve, you can just easily forbid that

It turned out it’s not needed to upload the whole project to Gemini 2.5 pro
What is enough is to provide as broad toolset as you can, and it starts to perform comparably to Claude desktop
Okay, now I convinced that Gemini is a beast

Real talk: with spring boot it’s literally 3 files with 50 lines of code in total
Everyone can do that, even if your main language is Python
You can vibe-engineer UI later

It’s maybe obvious for everyone, but if you want to use a new shiny LLM with your favorite MCP and cursor/copilot/windsurf/jetbrains AI/etc doesn’t support this model yet (and maybe never)
Open start.spring.io
Chose spring-ai-mcp-client
Do annotation-driven development (it’s easy, trust me)

I believe it’s not fair to treat Gemini 2.5 Pro like you treat Sonnet 3.7
To make Gemini work you have to put the whole project into the context and it’s damn expensive
Without considering that sonnet look way more expensive than Gemini

I totally understand that notes app is not so simple to implement
Especially local first
Especially not draining battery with lots of sync requests
Having personal knowledge base and shared workspace
It’s not the trivial domain, I’ve just dug a bit and was quite overwhelmed

I set up couchdb on my synology, set up self-hosted live sync obsidian community plugin and the reliability on iOS is a fucking joke
It get different content on each device after merge, and I didn’t do anything way too concurrent or strange
Also I had broken content after some edits

Have anyone already tried GitHub MCP?
Like, how cool is that: you ask LLM to solve the ticket, and then you do the actual code review put the comments, right in the proper places in the code, and LLM is doing exactly what you asking for
It’s like with junior developer, but faster
