CODE NO MORE? take it slowly and re-think it again

-


Lately, I've been feeling a bit restless in my career as a programmer. Day by day, the excitement I once felt for coding seems to be fading, and I've found myself yearning for a different kind of creative outlet. Surprisingly, this new passion has led me towards becoming a music artist, particularly in the realm of Techno music.

My newfound interest sparked an intense dive into electronic music. I’ve been soaking up the history, from the pioneering sounds of Germany's 70s band Kraftwerk to the vibrant beats of modern EDM stars like Avicii. Watching documentaries, listening to countless tracks, and even trying my hand at creating some basic tunes has been incredibly invigorating. I've invested in a few simple instruments – a keyboard, a guitar – and some software to help me bring my musical ideas to life.

However, amidst this musical exploration, I stumbled upon a documentary about Avicii. Known for his incredible contributions to EDM, Avicii's story is both inspiring and heart-wrenching. Despite his success, he struggled deeply with mental health issues and tragically ended his life in 2018. This sobering realization struck a chord with me – success in any field, whether music or programming, doesn’t guarantee happiness.

This revelation has made me reassess my ambitions. As much as I love the idea of becoming a music creator, I’m aware of the immense effort and time it takes to transition from a novice to a proficient artist. Reflecting on the years I've invested in honing my programming skills, I understand that mastering a new craft isn't just about the time commitment; it's also about finding true satisfaction in what you do.

So, I’ve decided to channel my creative energies differently. Instead of abandoning programming for music, I'm learning to appreciate the skills I’ve already cultivated. It’s about finding contentment in my current expertise while nurturing my passion for music on the side, without the pressure of turning it into a full-time career.

In the end, it's not about completely changing who I am or what I do. It's about blending my interests in a way that keeps me motivated and fulfilled. Maybe one day, I'll find a way to merge my love for coding with my passion for music. Until then, I’ll continue to explore both worlds, finding joy and balance in each.

I guess whenever you feel unmotivated about stuff you're doing, just hold on and be patient, everything will be okay, we just sometimes have bad times in life, you don’t have to jump from one ship to another to just find out the other ship isn't gonna satisfy your life either.

Thank you for reading this. If you’re also feeling the itch to explore new passions but rethink it again, remember that it’s okay to take it slow and find happiness in the journey, not just the destination.

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.

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
