  • Spring Boot 2.0

    Spring Boot 2.0 has finally arrived. Unfortunately we aren’t yet in a position at the office to be able to begin the upgrade so I decided to start playing around with it on one of my projects at home as I didn’t want to wait until we were ready to update our app. The first […]

  • Upgrading to Java 9

    Upgrading to Java 9 Ever since Java 9 was released last fall, I have been wanting to upgrade our software at work to the new platform.

    I came across this blog post today about using the HTTP Location Header in REST API responses when creating a resource.

  • Bose QC-35 Product Review

    Today I received my new Bose Quiet Comfort 35 headphones that I ordered, so I figured that I would do a review on them. I have been a long time Bose Headphone user. It all started back in 2007. Sofi and I were about to fly out to Scotland to celebrate our wedding anniversary and […]

  • Microservices as the way to onboard a new engineer

    Microservice onboarding… It has been a crazy couple of months since I took my new role. I have had so much new stuff to learn I haven’t been making a lot of time for other technical pursuits in my spare time. But that being said I am on paternity leave right now, so I figured […]
