Hi, Today, a more personal newsletter. The coming weeks are going to be very intense for me, and I’d love to take you along on this journey. There’s so much lined up for me in the upcoming weeks. This week… …I am on-site with a client, and the hotel is my home. The following week… …there’s a three-day Discovery Workshop with a new client. They’ve developed an incredibly exciting product, and I’m looking forward to it.
Hi, As you are a loyal reader of my newsletter, you probably know that I publish content on three different channels. This newsletter comes out on Mondays and Thursdays. A LinkedIn post on Tuesdays and Fridays And every Wednesday, I write a blog Each Content Targets a Different Audience The newsletter is infotainment. Its purpose is to entertain you, to start your day with a fresh thought. And it allows you to gain a deeper insight into my thoughts and perspectives.
Hi, What do snowflakes have to do with software development? Strange question, I know. But I had to ask myself this recently. I was going through the code. I wanted to understand which connection pools we have and how they are configured. That’s when I stumbled upon a connection pool named SnowflakeConnectionProviders. Huh? What is that supposed to be? And how is it used? And why is it a HashMap<String, IConnectionProvider>?
Hi, Yesterday, I published an article about the Assert class from Spring . And in May, at the Developer Meetup in Essen , I also talked about the class. But actually, it’s super boring. For those who don’t know: It offers a series of simple “assert” methods. For example, instead of if (someVariable == null) { throw new IllegalArgumentException("someVariable must not be null"); } we can write: Assert.isNotNull(someVariable, "someVariable must not be null"); Incredible.
Hi, Change hurts. The sentence is somewhat jaded. But it became clear to me again a few weeks ago. Toni, an external DevOps Engineer (shoutout to you 😉), was new to the team. On his website he writes, “As an expert in Developer Experience, my goal is to create an ecosystem for high-performance & innovatively-acting development teams.” And he lives it. There is also more than enough to do. And we want to tackle it!
