Maybe go on a site like meetup or find local events you are interested in. Go out and do something with strangers: help a charity, go on an organized hike, take a language class, do some volunteering.

Just hanging at the park putting out the vibe likely won’t get you where you want to be.

I’ve always been one of the developers at work that people bring their Spring questions to. Usually I just change the logging level and read the errors. Quite often it will tell you what you need to do or give you a good hint at least.

Another “trick” is reading the official documentation. There is a lot of cruft out there, so go straight to the source.

It’s really a great framework but they do give you many guns to shoot yourself in the foot with.

Kotlin is one of my favorite languages

I want to use VoIP to dial into a BBS to play some legend of the red dragon.

That holds true by the transitive property. It’s just good math.

I don’t want to be a tinfoil hat guy, but those comments are all suspiciously well capitalized and punctuated. Smells like a pro Russia bot powered by an LLM

I’ve worked on projects for the government as a contractor. There is SQL; SQL as far as the eye can see. I’m sure the NSA has some novel solutions to crunching shittons of big data, but day to day, at least in my experience, it is a lot of relational CRUD and reporting queries.

For the curious, it does clearly exist:

What if it was awful?

You would probably be able to run it. It will run like crap, but it will likely start. Postgres can run on as little as 8mb of ram, but not well. I’d recommend a box with at least 2gb of ram if you want to spin up multiple containers.

sqlite would probably be a better choice on an aging pi, but I’m sure you have your reasons.

Sounds like a good time to start padding estimates.

Let’s all head to the conference room, so we can discuss the definition of a story point for an hour. I’d also like to talk about why we are behind schedule and our velocity is dipping. Let’s make it two hours.
