In the post “Better Default NullPointerException Messages Coming to Java?“, I summarized background details related to a draft JEP (at that time) regarding making some types of NullPointerException‘s (NPE’s) messages more useful. It was nice to see last week that this JEP is now a candidate JEP (JEP 358: “Helpful NullPointerExceptions”). In this post, I highlight aspects of JEP 358 ...

Early on in my agile practice, I believed in generalizing specialists. I even wrote Five Tips to Hiring a Generalizing Specialist. However, if a team becomes collaborative, I no longer think we need generalizing specialists. That’s because the team works and learns as a team.

Morpheus: I’ve seen an agent punch holes in designs with only a single dependency. Developers have fought against them with APIs that resulted in nothing but limitations. Yet their strength and their speed are still based in a world that is built on coupling. Because of that, they will never be able to write as simple or as fast code ...

Before I could write about melding Corda and Ktor together, I first needed to lay the groundwork and focus solely on Ktor. That is where my blog post, Ktor – a Kotlin web framework came into existence. If you haven’t used or seen Ktor ...

Let’s consider automation pipelines from a security perspective. Pipelines can be a security enabler. Secure code in a developer’s machine, can result as insecure code running in production. Especially when there is manual intervention in the process. Automation pipelines can mitigate that risk. We must ensure that code can be promoted to production only via the pipeline and in doing ...
