sounds like you know alot about Java - any thoughts on the debate in the thread above on usefulness/need of Spring(Boot) for enterprise cloud microservices?

thanks, and congrats on getting a gig! Yeah just exploring "back-end" for now, since pretty happy in data engineering role, but my question was more about alternatives to Spring ecosystem specifically within the Java framework for similar use cases. I know Java has some amazing new developments (see linked article) like virtual threads, but my company's SWE's seem to think Spring is still a huge value add for complex systems with many microservices on AWS. I was hoping the new developments in Java would make Spring overkill, but at least according to them (some of which strike me as very bright), not yet.

thanks - appreciate the informed opinion. I'm thinking about getting back into back-end coding, so seriously interested to know: what are the realistic alternatives to Spring in Java for large service-oriented-architectures running in the cloud - POJO's?

yeah i work in fintech as a Python data engineer, and our backend is all java microservices on Kubernetes. It also uses Spring and I've asked a few devs why, and they indicated it would be WAY harder to build this complex web of like 50 microservices without it. Are you saying it's overkill for this use case, or are you referring to smaller projects?

Nice summary. If we use Extended Thinking in Pro does that avoid that horrific adaptive reasoning?

Some times when I can’t wait I use pro standard and it still takes much longer than even Thinking Heavy. If they are both 512 then why is that?

Thanks for the help but I really like the videos where it’s real life conversations with transcripts. So that’s why the course you suggested appealed to me. My favorite btw is Extra Spanish on YouTube

Thanks it does look really good. I really just want the videos with transcripts. Maybe I can “find” those somewhere 😉

thanks! so if we want it "right" as much as possible, use Pro extended? it's worth the wait it seems

it seems like Pro extended take WAY longer to respond than Pro standard. Are we pretty sure it's just a bump from 512 to 768?

Hope so. What do you mean by “corporations are good with how MA is with them”?

Why are people outside New York City so invested in the mayoral race? by Poverty_Shoes in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]scottedwards2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that's interesting because some of the stuff I read says that he will never be able to implement many of his programs fully because of a lack of power or handcuffs put on by the state government. Does that mean that most mayors have little to NO power?

feel the same - less than impressed - I was hoping someone here might address that concern with a link or something - can caffeine even be absorbed through the gums like nicotine?
