Becoming a software developer is not a dream job i would say, it is far from enjoyable, fun and rewarding. After years then i feel myself not enjoying it anymore, writing codes. The average people stay in tech world as software developer is less than 2 years, after that short period of time, they will get bored and looking for another company or even completely steer into different field outside of doing software development, because it is not fun anymore.

I don't enjoy this job myself, the only reason i stay working in a company is that i don't have any income outside this job, i wish this blog can give me some hope, but it doesn't. I am still feel underpaid after years of experiences in coding. After long hours of working on a computer, you supposed to get some relaxation, but you don't, you will keep doing that in the night, tomorrow and the next day and the next day, it's just intimidating.

Here i give you three powerful tips before you go deep into software development.

1. Don't learn to much

There's a lot of programming languages, it is wiser to just saying No to almost all of them, you need to remember that the Tech world is just keep evolving in unpleasant way, the thing you learn 5 years ago might not be as accurate as effective for today's problem, some language replaced by new language is really common.

2. Language is just tools

Language is just a tools, don't learn too much about new thing that's been hyped by many peoples, they are not worth to learn, it's just gonna drain your energy and wasting your time. I would recommend you to stick with this Technology, Java, Javascript, PHP, MySQL and Flutter. Those are the top tools i mostly use in my career.

3. Focus on the results

Don't be such an idealist. Faith is good in many form but not in the process of software development, as long as you have the software running, it is okay to use whatever approach you are using. Just because the name of Class looks weird and then you decided to rename it but then if will ended up breaking the system, it is not good.

And don't reinvent the will, just search online if someone has already making the same thing you want to make, don't try to create it by your own hand, use the existing library. The less code you wrote the better your codes.

If you just starting your career as software developer, don't be too much serious on that, find a way to make living outside that job, software development not gonna pay you as much as if you are in entertainment industry or marketing industry, those two industries are for me where we can try to make good living, of course there's banking and investment, but it requires sum amount of capital to get started, it is guarantee to make good living, but it is harder to do for common people like us.

Maybe you are so excited right now about some stuff in programming languages, you maybe discovered something new in the language, that you never knew it before, so you got really hyped and having fun writing code. But remember, writing code is not the solution to have happy life. No body want to write code to be happy i guess, don't try to learn everything you think it is promising.

I think becoming Youtuber is much more makes sense to make living than, i am not Youtuber myself, i am planning to be. Right now, i am just probably preparing my energy, . There's no such think as too late to become a Youtuber.

YouTube or video marketing is right now the most effective form of marketing, this industry started to replace the traditional television marketing, because the cost of advertising in Youtube is much more affordable than advertising on television.

MySQL and MariaDB password As already mentioned in the title of this blog, this error message sometimes occurred when we are trying to update our root password database, either MySQL or MariaDB, The error says: ERROR 1348 (HY000): Column 'Password' is not updatable This is because if we use this SQL command to update our database root password, and it turn out to be Restricted by MySQL to use update on mysql database. UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('1234') WHERE User='root'; The solutions for MySQL Error1348 So you can not update a user password using Update commands, to update the password, use ALTER commands instead. like the following. ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '1234'; And then you need to do the flush privileges to commit previous queries (that alter command above) into the system, simply do like this. flush privileges; So now you have your root with password 1234. Although it is recommended to...

Spring Boot is a handy tool that simplifies the development of Spring Framework applications by reducing the need for cumbersome configuration. In this tutorial, I'll guide you through creating a Spring Boot application using the Netbeans IDE. While you can certainly create a Spring Boot application in Netbeans manually, it's much easier with a plugin designed for Spring development. Here's a step-by-step guide to get you started: 1. Install the Spring Boot Plugin: Open Netbeans and navigate to the Tools menu. Click on "Plugins." Once the Plugins window opens, select the "Available Plugins" tab. Look for the "Nb SpringBoot" plugin, then install and activate it. 2. Create a New Spring Boot Project: After restarting Netbeans IDE, you can create a new project with Spring Boot. Go to File > New Project. Under Categories, select Maven, then choose "Spring Boot Basic." 3. Add Dependencies: With your new project created, open the po...

Spring Kafka - How to use ReplyingKafkaTemplate send and reply synchronously

Microservice Spring with Apache Kafka Today, I want to share how to use Kafka. It's quite interesting once you get the hang of it, and I hope my explanation will make it a bit easier for you. So, Kafka is primarily known as an asynchronous messaging queuing system. This means it allows different parts of your application to communicate with each other without waiting for immediate responses. However, there are times when you might need a more immediate reply from another service in your project. Luckily, Kafka can handle this too. Here’s how it works: The client side sends a message to the server side via Kafka. This message includes a special identifier in the Kafka header request, known as KafkaHeaders.CORRELATION_ID, along with a topic where the server should respond. The server, after processing the request, sends a message back to the same topic with the same correlation ID. This way, the client knows that the message is a response to its initial request and can act accordingl...
