I have been using Micronaut for the past year. It is always refreshing to learn something new, deep-diving into Micronaut was a nice change. it's a solid framework, I think it has a future and will gain momentum, my guess is that through time will attract a lot of Spring oriented developers. Being an early adopter …

it's been some months now that I have been using the Logictech MX Keys keyboard. I wanted to give it some time, but the fact that some of my friends bought it as well, and they are also satisfied, validates the fact that it deserves a good review. For my day-to-day work, I have been using a Topre- Realforce mechanical …

It is almost a month now that I wanted to write this short review, for Container Security by Liz Rice, one of the most concise tech books I have read recently. Target audience Advice for DevOps friendly software engineers (like me), if you are into docker and containers I would add this book to my must-read list on the …

I keep spending some of my free time playing around with Slack and specifically Slack bots. More to come on future posts but for now I can tell that I am amazed by the quality of the Slack Java SDK called Bolt. In this post I want to share a very simple Gitlab-CI pipeline that I use for building and deploying my toy …

For many years now I have been using artifactlistener to get updates on my mailbox on new releases or libraries and project that I use at work or on personal projects.

Usually I try to mix and match technologies that I am using at work, with stuff that I really enjoy, and I have a very strong opinion. So I get to improve on stuff that I don't necessarily enjoy using day to day :P with stuff that I …

) As you can imagine this post is all about flying, well simulator kind of flying. I have decided to kill some time on DCS World during this pandemic. I have been trying to improve as a pilot and fighter in general but obviously I was not taking it very seriously. The thing with a simulator like DCS is that you need to …

I remember the old days when I used to collect HD wallpapers. Spending hours and hours on different sites (do you remember devianart) , trying to find stuff that I like and making sure this wallpapers folder was always backed-up. I had multiple copies of it on CDs and then DVDs and then somewhere online. It is kind of …

As a mac user and active developer I use a lot of package managers, update managers etc. Most of the people would be familiar with things like: homebrew sdkman (for JVM developers) If you happen to be like me and use Terraform, then I have only nice things to say about tfenv.

Αναρωτιέμαι πολλές φορές αν ο κόσμος συνεχίζει να διαβάζει blog. Καταραμένη Google όταν μας έκοψες το Google Reader χάλασες όλη τη φάση. Νιώθω ενοχές που δε γράφω τόσο συχνά. Το έχω γράψει και παλιά, όλα αυτά τα χρόνια έχουν περάσει πολλά post από το μυαλό μου και συνεχίζω να μην τα γράφω. Ελπίζω οτι το 2020 θα είμαι …
