In some products, certain AI features have become expected. If a product doesn’t include them, it risks losing customers, making it a net negative for the market. At this point, companies either invest in AI or risk falling behind.
A/B Testing: Automate test setup and simplify result analysis.
E-commerce: Use AI to generate synonyms for more relevant search results.
Issue Tracker: Implement natural language search to find tickets more easily.
Sorry, this are only the categories. But i have actual products in mind.
For version managers I've switched to using mise - https://mise.jdx.dev/ - supports pretty much everything, all in one place. I have it managing java, node, php, and even tools like awscli, gitleaks, and anything else that might be needed to get a project up and running by a new developer.
btw. installing "java" is now very easy, you just need to install jetbrains toolbox, from there install intellij community edition (1 click), which installs a jdk for you with (2-3 clicks), when it detects that you need one.
Funny, never made sense to me why we had that book. We had exactly that Schneider 286, that must be the source. My dad could give me a basic introduction, from there the book was a treasure trove.
My dad had that as a book, I loved it. I learned a lot from it.
Later I learned that someone with experience could have propelled me forward much faster.
Recently, I’ve been working with Quarkus[1], the quarkus-qute[2] (a type-safe templating engine), and htmx. I found the experience quite positive. Quarkus offers lightning-fast compilation with a hot-reloading Maven wrapper (mvnw), making development seamless. Picking up qute was straightforward, and combining it with htmx, especially with qute’s #fragment support for htmx, felt like a natural fit.
Base on numbers you put, you would need to have stable 50-100GB/s speed to your disc system to just read 3TB data in 40-60sec. Would you mind sharing your setup?
Last year I built a balcony watering system using an 8x ESP32 relay system from Lilygo, paired with mini submersible pumps. To monitor plant health, I integrated MiFlora sensors over BLE. Managing minimum soil moisture and pump duration has been 'configured' by hosting a configuration files on Pastebin.
This year, I'm taking it a step further by developing a management front-end. Instead of the hacker GUI using Pastebin, I'm implementing an extra M5 Atom running MicroPython with a web GUI. This interface allows me to configure the sensors, visualize sensor data with charts, and send notifications via NTFY to my phone.
