Choose Your Docker Base Image Wisely

A while ago, I ran into a problem with my application that only occurred in production but not locally. The reason we use Docker both locally and in production is to prevent exactly that from happening. What went wrong?

FP vs. OO

I recently came across a tweet stating that there were no people who “defend OO vs. FP” that actually used FP in real projects. This is not the first time I came across statements like this (like in a blog posts portraying functional programmers as being higher on the “evolutionary ladder” than object-oriented programmers). Another claim I hear again and again is that “only Functional Programming can solve the problems of the modern age (like multi-core computing)”. I disagree with both claims.

ROCA vs. SPA

Currently, a lot of companies are migrating from Desktop applications (mostly written in Java) to Web applications for their products as well as for their internal tooling. When they start with this process they often ask themselves: Which technologies should we use to build our Web application? Should we use Angular.js or React? Or should we go with recommendations like ROCA instead of a Single Page Application?
