I’m a happy Lombok library user. I found this library a decade ago, and I’ve been using it ever since. I don’t remember facing any major problems with it so far.

However, I see a few people that I greatly admire and learn from often complain that Lombok is very bad, and you should avoid it. Obviously, I am curious to know what am I missing? I know a couple of scenarios where using Lombok brings some challenges. Apart from it, I really enjoy using the Lombok library.

I am happy to announce that I am starting the SpringBoot - The Missing Guide video series on my SivaLabs YouTube Channel. This SpringBoot - The Missing Guide video series is for those who need help understanding SpringBoot’s magic. In this series, I will explain the core concepts used in Spring and SpringBoot with practical examples.

Few months ago I asked on Twitter “why you think Java is complex?” to understand others perspective.

First of all, Wish you a very happy new year and I hope this year will bring more joy and happiness into your lives.

I would like to share how was 2022 for me and what my plans are for 2023.

Spring Framework 6 implemented the Problem Details for HTTP APIs specification, RFC 7807. In this article we will learn how to handle exceptions in SpringBoot 3 REST API(which uses Spring Framework 6) and provide error responses using ProblemDetails API.

Records were introduced in Java 14 as a preview feature and became a standard feature with JDK 16. Records are a concise representation of immutable data class.

Social media is a double-edged sword. Depending on how you use it, it can be really helpful or become a source of pressure and frustration. I don’t use Facebook and Instagram much, but I use Twitter and recently started using LinkedIn too.

I got a chance to review the upcoming Cloud Native Spring in Action book by Thomas Vitale and here is my review of the book.

We, software developers, have a great advantage when it comes to getting help from others. Irrespective of how much experience you have you will need help from others. And, there are plenty of good people out there willing to help you by means of answering on StackOverflow, writing blog posts, making video tutorials, etc. They are taking their personal time to help strangers whom they may never meet in person, kudos to all of them.

We, software developers, aspire to become better by learning new tools and techniques. In addition to that, I find listening to the experts and learning from their experiences is a great way to upskill ourselves.
