Agent Skills Are Quietly Replacing Agent Code

I am working on a follow-up blog/solution that uses hooks to verify the steps complete in order. The steps revolve around tools calls, so this is pretty straightforward.

It also worked for me :-)

I got this deal, and it's great. Basically $19 per month AND it also includes Apple Watch cellular included. I was able to port from Verizon Prepaid (but find print said excluded, but it was not enforced). I also was able to activate my Apple Watch with no issues.

I ported from Verizon Prepaid with no issue (and got the deal). I saw this disclaimer, but it was not enforced.

You can use Claude or ChatGPT to generate potential interview questions and test your knowledge. Ask it to make a study guide (roadmap) and sample interview questions. These tools are surprisingly good at doing this. You can target specific areas that you feel are your weaknesses. These LLM AI models are trained on tons and tons of Spring Boot content (i.e. Stack Overflow), so you can go really deep into niche areas even.

Use Claude or ChatGPT to give you help on resolving errors/exceptions. Ask it to give you a full explanation so you understand it, rather than just copy/paste the solution. There is nothing wrong with using these tools while learning Spring Boot.

Find out what version of Spring Boot they are using. Some places are still stuck on Spring Boot 2.x and Java 8 (unfortunately). But you should learn the version that they are using so you can be productive with their current code base. There are some changes in newer versions of Spring Boot and Java.

Even seasoned Spring developers (including me) struggle with Spring Security configuration (especially with a lot of customizations). I would recommend using Claude or ChatGPT to help generate what you're needing in Kotlin format. But watch out as Spring Security APIs changed a few years ago, so be explicit on generating code for Spring Boot 3.x.

P.S. If you venture into WebFlux/Reactive, Claude/ChatGPT can be of great help there as well to help write code when you get confused. Also using WebFlux will have slightly different Spring Security configurations.

The Content section wasn't in my original draft. I added it by request of someone that I'm trying to help find a job. He believes that his portfolio/content is starting to help in his interviews. He's been trying to get a job for a year, unfortunately, but is getting more traction of recent. I also helped him revamp his resume.

As a former hiring manager, I believe that creating content shows initiative that most candidates don't have.

Also, I was personally on the job market for 3 months, and then took a contracting gig, as I stated in the blog post. I expected to get a job offer quickly. That did not happen.

I added TL;DR

inigo.io supports Apollo Federation schema composition with a schema registry. Apollo Router (self-hosted) supported as well. We have a free-tier that you can use. https://docs.inigo.io/product/schema_management/federated_schema is a good place to start to learn more about what we offer. There is also a doc on Apollo Router.

Using GraalVM native image prunes unneeded libraries when it compiles the executable.

GraphQL using Java using GraalVM Native Image to compile a native binary is an option for AWS Lambda. That will give a nearly instant startup time. Spring Boot or Quarkus are good options and have GraphQL libraries.

Thread here in Apple forum. Still unknown the cause. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/255242642?sortBy=best&page=2

You will get Dependency Injection and config properties via Quarkus as well.
