Codetown ::: a software developer's community
I just dropped by Canvs this morning and talked with Necole Pynn, the Managing Director, about having our next meeting there.
For those of you who haven't visited Canvs, it's a coworking space in downtown Orlando. Basically, you can work at this beautiful, vibrant facility in an unassigned community space for $25/day, $100/mo (part time=8 days) or $250/mo for full time (every working day). There's dedicated space, too. That's a bit more in cost but one big advantage is you can leave your gear there in your own space.
And, for community meetings, there are meeting rooms, fully equipped.
This is the street view.
You can see the Amway Arena to the right.
Here's the entrance.
I parked using a meter on the street for $1.00/hr. The parking lot right in front of the building is also $1.00/hr.
This is what it looks like as you walk into the Church Street Exchange building where Canvs is.
And, here's one entrance to Canvs. You'll have no trouble finding your way around, There's bike hangers inside, too! So nice.
Anyway, please keep an eye on the May OrlandoJUG event announcement. I'll confirm that our next meeting, featuring Ken Krueger with a talk about Spring Boot will be at Canvs.
And, please RSVP on that event page. It helps plan. Plus, it makes our speaker feel welcome when he sees lots of RSVP's.
See ya there!

Major observability platform providers are integrating artificial intelligence into their monitoring systems, as enterprises look to their suppliers to reduce the manual work involved in keeping an eye on digital infrastructure. Companies have implemented AI-driven features designed to automate routine operational tasks and accelerate incident resolution processes.
By Matt SaundersA new benchmark study from observability platform Coroot has shed light on the performance costs of implementing OpenTelemetry in high-throughput Go applications. The findings show that while OpenTelemetry delivers valuable trace-level insights, it introduces notable overhead, increasing CPU usage by approximately 35% and increasing network traffic and latency under load.
By Craig RisiAnthropic has upgraded Claude with new app-building capabilities, allowing users to create, host, and share AI applications directly from text prompts. This functionality, known as Artifacts, enables users to build functional tools like data analyzers, flashcard generators, or study aids by simply describing their ideas.
By Daniel DominguezSavannah Kunovsky and Jenna Fizel, co-managing directors of IDEO’s Emerging Technology division, talk about the future of technology in general and how we can work with our users to build the most impactful product. They explore prototyping and co-design techniques, as well as how generative AI can help with rapid prototyping.
By Savannah Kunovsky, Jenna FizelAI images typically bloat from massive library installations and base OS components, with large Docker images slowing AI development and increasing costs. Chirag Agrawal demonstrates how to diagnose bloat using Docker's history and the interactive 'dive' tool to examine each layer in detail. The article shows how effective diagnosis leads to targeted optimizations.
