"Unlike other crafts, in software engineering, it really is possible to build the roof before you finish building the walls. And it's also possible to build that roof so it doesn't even eventually line up with the walls."

I'm Now an Official NATS Maintainer! 🎉.

The votes are in, and I'm deeply honoured to join the NATS maintainers list, This is more than just a title. It's a moment of genuine pride.

Years ago, I got tired of the complexities and overhead that came with traditional messaging systems. Kafka? Powerful, yes, but exhausting. Then I discovered NATS. Brutally simple, elegant in design, and feature-rich without the bloat. Clustering, multi tenancy, portability – it just works. And that changed everything for me.

As a Java developer, I wanted to bring NATS into my ecosystem. As i love meaningful tests, I've built testing tools for it. For JUnit, Spring Boot, and plain Java.
The goal? The same philosophy as NATS: simple, reliable, user-friendly. These tools now have high test coverage, automation, and are easy to extend – just like NATS inspired me to do.

Open source became more than a hobby. It became my space. A place where I can contribute, grow, take ownership, and be appreciated globally. There are no politics, no "office vs home office" debates, no gatekeeping. Just a community building solid, high quality software that the world relies on.

I'll never forget when Synadia reached out and allowed me to use the NATS logo for my libs and even sent me a package from the USA. That personal written letter? Still on my desk. A reminder that kindness and recognition can come from anywhere.

In OSS, I don't follow OKRs, SCRUMs, or agile charts. I follow curiosity, quality, and contribution. And I believe this is where innovation really thrives.

💡 One thing I still hope for: that more developers and companies recognize NATS as the powerful tool it is. Yes, there were recent changes in the CNCF relationship and yes, it raised questions. But the APL-licensed NATS is here to stay. And it's still gold.

Companies build their businesses on OSS. I hope one day they'll also support it financially or through real contributions. Without open source, there is no modern software and no Business.

To everyone in the NATS and broader OSS community: thank you. I'm proud to be one of you. @Scott, @Ginger, @derek

Hey software engineers! I am looking for the best iOSdev #mobiledev #softwaredevelopmentapp development.

I have been a UX designer for 11 years and have extensive HTML and CSS knowledge. I realized that I really miss coding.

Please share your recommendations. Thanks!

It’s often touted that you must “keep up” with the latest trends in software engineering…

❌ I disagree…

Trying to keep up with the latest shiny new languages and frameworks lacks focus and can lead many developers to feel overwhelmed and inadequate, leaving them tumbling towards burnout…

There’ll always be new things to learn, but you can’t do it all at once…

"It's all special pleading anyways. LLMs digest code further than you do. If you don't believe a typeface designer can stake a moral claim on the terminals and counters of a letterform, you sure as hell can't be possessive about a red-black tree."
