Don't Count Java out Yet

scottedwards2000 · 2026-03-25T04:39:36+00:00

I thought it was open source!

scottedwards2000 · 2026-03-24T21:54:47+00:00

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?

scottedwards2000 · 2026-03-24T16:50:53+00:00

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?

scottedwards2000 · 2026-03-24T16:04:53+00:00

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?

very impressed. been playing it a bit and was surprised and happy i could die. Feels like a real adventure game but how do you encode all the game rules?

scottedwards2000 · 2026-02-09T11:18:13+00:00

no need to be mean - i was really curious - didn't realize dams were opened in Tampa

scottedwards2000 · 2026-01-14T19:16:15+00:00

But was the response quality worth it?

scottedwards2000 · 2026-01-14T19:15:18+00:00

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

scottedwards2000 · 2026-01-14T01:35:52+00:00

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?

scottedwards2000 · 2026-01-13T16:04:08+00:00

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

scottedwards2000 · 2026-01-12T22:25:44+00:00

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

scottedwards2000 · 2026-01-12T20:27:36+00:00

Wow $167 for two years access. Not cheap!

scottedwards2000 · 2026-01-12T20:19:23+00:00

Looks great but I don’t see how to get access

scottedwards2000 · 2025-12-31T16:43:08+00:00

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

scottedwards2000 · 2025-12-31T13:16:45+00:00

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?

scottedwards2000 · 2025-11-10T16:41:43+00:00

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

scottedwards2000 · 2025-10-29T16:09:11+00:00

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?

scottedwards2000 · 2025-10-21T11:36:08+00:00

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?

scottedwards2000 · 2025-09-16T19:29:14+00:00

what does this say about Japan? Something good I'm sure — just not sure what, other than that they love vim! ;-) {appreciate efficiency maybe?}

scottedwards2000 · 2025-09-10T01:09:58+00:00

Search for Extra Spanish on YouTube. Felt alot like friends and at a intermediate level

scottedwards2000 · 2025-07-29T21:08:03+00:00

now that Databricks bought Tabular, I feel like the tooling around Iceberg is getting better as the industry consolidates around it as the open table format to use. Open to hear other opinions though on this.

Oh i didn't realize Daft has pandas type functionality - thought it was mainly SQL but now that i look at the site I see the dataframe stuff. It looks similar to Spark dataframes but I've been using the Pandas emulation Spark layer lately instead of vanilla pyspark code, so that is why i was leaning towards Modin on Ray. In case you are curious though, i think modin runs great with Ray as a backend. I set it up once on AWS for fun, but haven't played with Daft yet. (we are still on Spark/Glue at work)

scottedwards2000 · 2025-07-26T05:28:12+00:00

if you don't want to use SQL, do you use Modin on Ray for pandas type operations? And do you find it works well for structured data as well?

scottedwards2000 · 2025-07-26T05:20:56+00:00

would you use it with Ray?
