Started learning/using graphQL for my personal project and it’s really interesting! It solves my major concern of huge json response

I finally found the time to write a small article on Medium about Bloom Filters. At least this lockdown has allowed mw to work on pending stuff.

Read it here - https://medium.com/@gvnix/...

Finally started utilizing this quarantine time and started a new project.

Name - Hermes

3. Draw trends on the responses and further actions by the user.

Current tech stack -
1. Spring-Boot
2. Java 1.8

Quarantine finally made me pickup my old projects.

Multi-threaded dependency downloads are a blessing.

It's the simple things in life that makes me feel that being programmer is fun.

Copying all jpgs from 100 folders? Done.

Ofc I could have searched the folder via Normal finder search, selected them and then copied like a normal human being but wasting more time to do the same thing is what being an engineer about :D

Wrote a small function to transfer files to and from servers to local machine when using a proxy server.

This is meant to be copied in the .bash_profile

My lead in my previous company found one of my commit msg funny.

I smell JavaScript.

Idk how common this is but my first article got approved.

Writing tasks and crossing them out is fun.

I found my old ppt for my senior year project (A hackerrank or leetcode clone).

My love for minimalistic graphics started back then.

I finally published my first medium article, It's on Sticky sessions for microservices.

It took so much of my time to piece everything together that I wrote a small how-to, so that my fellow devs should not suffer like I have.

Love my simple setup :D

Slowly getting the hang of bulma or UI in general.

Weight lifting.

Now hear me out. I know this doesn't sound geeky but my pedantic nature makes it.

Comparing the numbers of your lifts. Charting them out. Making your own workout schedules with targeting every muscle and it's parts.

It's fun and rewarding.

Neat 😎

My booster packs are null.

My small Dev hub.

The CAPTCHA that can be copied. Noice.

To all the people using 1080p external monitors on macos mojave, did you notice that the fonts are now shitty?

I wrote a script to fix it. (Uses the fix provided in the forums and makes it work for ext displays and retina).

God bless reflection.

MFW people keep starring my shit college project on github.

Fire your devops team.

What's the best way to set username password for DB?

I currently set them as system env variables and then have placeholers in the properties files. This helps in avoiding a bad commit to GitHub.

More than a year ago, frustrated by a sub par experience of linux on my laptop (drivers), I planned to buy a MacBook to get a stable Unix platform.

But it was too expensive.

I convinced myself that it will pay for itself.

And today my app, i created on this laptop, has finally paid for it. :D

I am very happy.
