Hi, Why do we develop object-oriented today and not functionally? Why are 7 out of 10 of the most popular programming languages object-oriented? And why is there no purely functional language among them? Source: Stackoverflow Developer Survey 2023 This question was also asked by Richard Feldman in 2019 . And the backgrounds are interesting. Of course - as always - it’s complicated. But one aspect I find particularly interesting.
Hi, My work methods have changed more in the past year than ever before. A year ago, OpenAI released ChatGPT. At the time, I thought the technology was cool, but I didn’t realize how much it would impact my work. And that in less than 12 months. Today, I use AI for so many things: I no longer Google questions; I ask ChatGPT GitHub Copilot writes code before I even know what I want to write My content (including this one) is proofread by ChatGPT I have stock images generated by Midjourney My recent presentations were created with ChatGPT Even the pirate puzzle for the children’s birthday party is generated by ChatGPT And this list is far from complete.
Hi, My fingers were tingling at the start of Thorben Janssen’s session “The Big Java Persistence Q&A”. The first question was roughly: “In the previous talk (something with JPA), it was said that one should annotate every test with @Transactional. This will automatically roll back the data after the test. We’ve had a discussion and can’t agree. What’s your recommendation?” Thorben’s answer made me nervous. He countered with a question of his own, also paraphrased:
Hi, Nervousness sliced through the room. I saw it in the eyes of all attendees. It was supposed to be just a routine meeting. Once a week, the development team meets with the admins to discuss current topics. This meeting has been held for years. Same time, same people, (almost) the same topics. But something was different this time. A new colleague participated for the first time. An external. We brought him in to work on “DevOps”. Mainly automation. CI/CD, provisioning, tooling, compile-time optimizations. Everything that improves the developer experience.
Hi, For a treasure hunt for a 5-year-old, I want to write a text. The text should be written by a pirate, describing a riddle where the pirate’s treasure is hidden. It should be hidden in a place where creepy trees are. Can you write the text for me and make it rhyme? With this prompt, I fed ChatGPT. I had just returned from Berlin from the RabbitMQ Summit .
