Chris Brandsma recently wrote an insightful post about how we shouldn’t coddle junior developers. It’s a good post and i can definitely understand Chris’ frustrations on the matter. There’s just one thing i don’t understand though: why do we even differentiate between junior and senior developers? First of all, what’s the difference between a senior […]

It turned out that i actually forgot to release the components i was requesting Windsor to construct for me. I use the container […]
Read MoreI spent a day at Devoxx (formerly known as Javapolis) this week, and one of the presentations i saw was about common performance anti-patterns, given by Alois Reitbauer from DynaTrace.
