To ensure our e2e tests provide truly independent verification ✅, we chose a different HTTP library from the one used in our main applications. The sttp client proved to be an excellent choice for this purpose as it's intuitive and beginner-friendly. #scala

As IntelliJ still lacks support for Scala 3 exports, I've been trying Zed again as my main editor. I have a feeling a complete switch from IntelliJ is close. I'm looking forward to the Git integration, @Zed ! #scala #zed

First-class support for staging, committing, pulling, pushing, viewing diffs, and more.

Hey developers, ditch services like 'Buy Me a Coffee' and add Lightning donations to your projects. Why use multiple middlemen when we can support each other directly! The Internet is a global place, so why not use a global P2P currency?

And by the way, scala-uri added support for Scala Native 0.5 in the latest release 👏

Having so many JSON libraries in Scala is a pain. But it's even worse with URIs – you end up having to use several at once, like scala-uri, Tapir, and http4s. They all handle URIs differently. #scala

Would be great to have a project generator like this on an official #Scala websites: https://adopt-tapir.softwaremill.com/

So, just out of curiosity, I tried to switch from Java Typesafe config to SConfig to see how much effort it would take to migrate our services. For context, we rely heavily on configs (over 9k lines of HOCON). The result? Deleting four characters, and everything works the same way. I'm blown away 🤯👏

Rust at Microsoft is not just a side project, but it is already integrated into core Windows components, Office, and Azure. And, apparently, all new components are being written in Rust 🦀 #rust #microsoft #office #azure

I haven't bought any courses in years, to be honest, but it's probably time to change that. #scala

Impure Pics jumped into Gleam in a one-hour-long video! #gleam

Prefer composing small libraries rather than using specialized, all-in-one frameworks. 🍱 The frontend g8 template has recently added zio-http as a backend. I would personally like to see Tapir integrated as well. #scala #tyrian

Bitcoin doesn't have account numbers; it has UTXOs. Think of them like cash (individual bills 💵) in a digital wallet. If you want to pay $12, you might use a $10 bill and a $5 bill (inputs of the transaction), and the receiver gives you back $3 (a new Unspent Transaction Output = UTXO). Learn how this elegant system works 👇 #bitcoin #utxo

Every time I try a new, shiny LLM on Scala, I fail miserably. I wonder if it's because they haven't seen enough Scala code during training. But does this mean new languages or features will die out if LLMs only work well with the most popular ones?

Java 23 is looking... suspiciously like Scala from two decades ago! 😉 Jokes aside, I'm glad that Java is evolving. It makes the transition to truly modern languages like Scala even smoother! Welcome to the (slightly delayed) party, Java! #java #scala

It looks like Spark is not as huge as I thought it would be. The question is - did I have the wrong expectation, or are the numbers so small because many Spark projects have migrated to Python? #scala #spark #python

I usually avoid tasks involving CI/CD pipelines, but I managed to create some cool automation (despite occasionally yelling at my screen 😀). 1. Using Tapir, I built an sbt task to generate OpenAPI specs. 2. The release job executes this task, uploading the YAML to our MkDocs-based knowledge base. 3. The Swagger UI plugin now lets everyone view service APIs without checking production's /docs endpoints. Time to buy the author of the plugin coffee 🙌
