Codetown ::: a software developer's community
Last nights OJUG meeting was great. Beth and Tracy did an amazing job of setting things up in the room and the presentation was wonderfully entertaining and insightful. It was spectacular and informative, what more could you ask for? Anyone who was unable to come certainly missed out, but maybe next year we'll have them give this presentation again. You never know.
Tracy provided us with a wealth of knowledge in terms of how to be recruited. His presentation on Working WIth Recruiters…

I know what you're thinking, "So what if Apple gets another patent?" or "What's left that they don't already have?".

Hi folks,
I've mentioned MySchedule before during the Quartz presentation at OJUG. I have released myschedule-1.1.2.war now. It's not that pretty, but it's fully functional. It deploy a fully working version of a In-Memory Quartz scheduler with web UI that can easily manage it.
If you are interested in Quartz, give it a try here http://code.google.com/p/myschedule. I wrote a mini UserGuide with here…

Uber has open-sourced uForwarder, a push-based Kafka consumer proxy built to handle trillions of messages and multiple petabytes of data daily. The system introduces context-aware routing, head-of-line blocking mitigation, adaptive auto-rebalancing, and partition-level delay processing to improve scalability, workload isolation, and hardware efficiency in large-scale event-driven microservices.

TSSLint 3, the lightweight TypeScript linting tool by Johnson Chu, enhances performance with a reduced dependencies and improved migration paths from legacy linters. As a spiritual successor to TSLint, it offers near-instant diagnostics and fixes, leveraging native Node support for .ts imports. Enhanced developer tooling and a new TSL compatibility layer simplify linting in large-scale projects.

This article presents a least-privilege AI Agent Gateway that places clear controls between AI agents and infrastructure. Agents do not access infrastructure APIs directly. Instead, every request is validated, authorized using policy as code with Open Policy Agent (OPA), and executed in short-lived, isolated environments, with built-in observability using OpenTelemetry.
By Nabin DebnathIn this podcast, Michael Stiefel spoke with Chris Richardson about using microservices to modernize software applications and the use of artificial intelligence in software architecture. We first discussed the problems of monolithic enterprise software and how to use microservices to evolve them to enable fast flow - the ability to achieve rapid software delivery.

Anthropic research shows developers using AI assistance scored 17% lower on comprehension tests when learning new coding libraries, though productivity gains were not statistically significant. Those who used AI for conceptual inquiry scored 65% or higher, while those delegating code generation to AI scored below 40%.
