New comment by moondowner in "Spring Boot Done Right: Lessons from a 400-Module Codebase"

moondowner — Mon, 30 Mar 2026 15:00:03 +0000

Switched from Spring Boot to Ruby on Rails 3 years ago.

I expected to see some new Spring 'tricks' in this post, but it's pretty much regular things that people might do in larger codebases.

> He is going to open GarageBand and make something that is not a song.

As a kid I just loved playing around in Reason (1 or 2?) and making strange sounds and just flipping the racks around and trying to connect the cables in any jack possible, to see what happens.

I would open one of the demo songs, to 'learn' how these racks were wired, and then experimented.

Good old memories.

Kids nowadays need those type of experiences too.

Breaking this systemic barrier would make life easier on a lot of people.

Sometimes people download it because there's no alternative. E.g. the YT app is not available in the play store in their country on that specific hardware, so the only way to be able to view YT is to use an alternative app like this one.

I remember when ZTE Open was released in Europe in 2013, it was a decent Firefox OS phone.

The downside for me was that it didn't feel premium.

Compared to the 2012 HTC One S that I had back then, which was very slim, with aluminum finish and great screen, it didn't stood the chance.

I've been using Rancher Desktop as an alternative to Docker Desktop, https://rancherdesktop.io/ on macOS and Windows, it's pretty solid.

It has some kinks to work out but I got it working with IDEs too (e.g. the Intellij IDEA Docker Compose integration to work with it).

What I also like is that existing scripts and etc that use the docker-compose cli work with Rancher Desktop too, as it uses nerdctl https://github.com/containerd/nerdctl

I always wondered, why are these called trackers? It's tracking the notes from a file?

Noup. Amazfit/Zepp Health is a Chinese brand, somehow related to Xiaomi (I have a few Xiaomi Mi Band devices and they use the Zepp app on the phone).

The Java generator is pretty good, many big companies are using it for generating both client and server code, I'm especially happy with the Java Spring Boot generator, I've been using it for both reactive and 'standard' code generation.

Why would you need Oracle JDK specifically? There are so many reliable JDK builds by other parties. https://sdkman.io/jdks

I'm personally using Amazon Corretto (is in the SKDMan link)
