Developers don't like writing documentation, generally. — Knowledge sharing in tech teams seems to be a recurring problem. While it could solve a lot of problems (like allowing swift onboardings, unavailability of the colleagues or high turnover with knowledge loss) and many tools exist to make it easy, team members don't always want to participate...

In our development team, we do code review on every single merge request (aka a pull request for GitHub users) without exception. Every MR is reviewed by two developers of the team. I personally love it as I think it has a lot of advantages (as I'll explain below). But code review can also quickly... Continue Reading →

Some time ago I started learning Cloud infrastructure fundamentals and integrated a few Cloud services in my development graduation work. At some point I thought it would be fun to deploy my application, trying the different Cloud providers to see if one is more fitted for Java applications (one would think Oracle Cloud is more...

Cloud deployment is slowly becoming a new normal, and several studies already showed that there is a dramatic shortage in Cloud-skilled engineers. That's a very good reason already to start learning Cloud concepts, but to my point of view there's even more to it. How I started learning Cloud for free During the first months...
