I guess it is one of these moments that you need to clean up your room (or maybe the whole house), it's not super messy, but it is messy enough to make you keep thinking about it. So one day (or night) you make the call, that's it, I need to clean up. This is how I felt about my personal gitlab account. I won't deny …

This was one of the features that I was waiting for months. Google Cloud Run is really easy to use, and I consider it production worthy, especially for small projects! Up until now, the scheduled container if it was not accepting any request, it was being suspended (similar to what happens to λ on aws, for those that …

It's been years that I have moved over to Gitlab for my personal projects. I still use Github at work and lately I am being intrigued by Github Actions (which kind of came late to the party, but then again it's a really nice feature, much needed). So while on Gitlab, I was wondering what is there for me (free account) …

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.

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 …

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. It is a very decent service, and I still use it. These were times that things like dependabot were still not a thing :) + I was mostly interested on the …

I have been working on a small personal project during these days (a silly slack bot). 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 …
