  • I had to containerize an older java app. It sucked, java would take all the memory you gave it regardless, so it was hard to determine memory requirements/limits. It had pretty slow start although this wasn’t an issue for us, logging formatting was a pain. All this was overcome (not by upgrading), it was just a pain.

    I suspect this isn’t true of modern java though - I’d suspect with the hype kubernetes went through a few years ago that it’s just fine now a days.


  • IMO it doesn’t matter, learning go from Java should not be what excludes you from an offer. Of course if the employer has a choice between two otherwise even candidates then maybe it’d help.

    I think the problem is working with both in a production environment is what is going to set you apart.

    I’d say learn a language that’s really different like a functional or a logic language.

    Otoh I’ve not been interviewing lately so maybe my take is totally off base














  • I’m very lazy so I’d probably start by looking at filters on those sites, if i really wanted to tackle this with programming, i’d:

    see if there’s an api, or rss feed for these sites, if so i’d pull that down with a cron job and do filtering locally with probably regex.

    if not i’d scrape the html and pull out the relevant links with whatever the latest html parser is for the language i use (i.e. it used to be beautiful soup for python, but there’s i think a new better one).

    but as i said i’m rather lazy, and haven’t been on the prowl for jobs for some time.
