On the Amiga computers we had a saying without MUI {the Magic 
User Interface a fantastic UI for gadgets and widgets on the Amiga} MUI program xxx would not exist
The same rule applies here
Without you Moshidon would not exist
So instead of just boosting and liking the post, I'm sending you Universal Love 
and Universal Energy and thanking you for the amount of work that you put in to Moshidon
Maven 4: Still XML. Still boring. Still Winning.
What's so ugly about Maven?
Oh, right, XML. The ancient language feared by the hipster cult of Gradle.
But let's be honest:
You don't write build files every day. You come back after months, forget everything, and now… you're debugging a Groovy poem.
Maven? You squint at the XML, and boom. Autocomplete, structure, sanity.
Maven 4? Still XML. Still boring. Still… Winning at automations.
Yes there are more features, and yes you can use other DSL's than XML with polyglot or any other extension like also before.
Something new and interesting could be the BOM packaging and requirement of java 17. You can always build lower stuff also with 17. It's simply Java.
My killer feature of Maven:
Stable, sandboxed plugins, run directly from the command line. No need to create bloated build files.
No copy-pasting the same config into 12 submodules and repositories.
All automated. All under my control.
No need to depend on the next third party cloud elf named like dependabot.
Or an SDK Man for switching java versions.
All I need is simply a JAR file and a build tool which does not disrupt me.
Favourite Maven Spells - aka plugins running on my CI without defining them:
mvn wrapper:wrapper - Because of consistency, no jar binary inside my repo.
mvn dependency:tree - See who brought the uninvited guests.
mvn versions:update-properties - Auto-update without the bots.
mvn license:add-third-party - keep track of used licenses
mvn org.owasp:dependency-check-maven:check - Security without sacrifice.
[...]
Stop waiting for the next shiny thing, you can always contribute to any tool.
Start building. Or better automate it.
Good #Coding practices question for #Documentation:
Are there some general guidelines on what info to put in the comment at the top of each code file? Like date, author, basic description of what the code does? Maybe something about dependencies? Are there templates for this somewhere (e.g. for #Matlab or #Python if that matters)?

Hello, everyone! I’m Muhammad, a passionate 14-year-old programmer with a love for free software. I’ve been coding since I was 11, and I’m excited to share that I’m building a vibrant community for young free software programmers, GNU/Linux users, and anyone committed to the principles of free software.
Together, let’s collaborate, learn, and innovate as we shape the future in the GNU way! If you’re interested in joining this journey, feel free to reach out. #coding #GNULinux #FreeSoftware
#workaholic here. Would be nice with a side job, or similar, that I could do, well, on the side, or during the weekend?
Any ideas.
Probably best in #tech or #coding but can also do #AudioEditing or #TechnicalWriting
IDK what I'm going for here, but why not haha
Here's a neat little effect with no text duplication. Uses `background-clip: text` to create the split text face effect + scroll-driven animations to tie the gradient split line position to the 1st section's bottom edge.

I added a bunch of CLI options to shape the sound of my MP3 glitching script! Here's a demo of some of the possibilities:
They’ve been saying “PHP is dead” for almost 30 years.
In 1995, they said "learn ColdFusion instead."
1999: "Java and J2EE is the Future."
2002: "Drop PHP, use ASP.NET."
2003: "Django is the future."
2004: "Ruby on Rails is the real deal."
2010: "Try Flask."
2011: "AngularJS is the way."
2016: "Next.js is the new wave."
Maybe PHP is still popular because there was never a hype around it. 
How’s them vibes?
(Almost like it’s good to know what you’re doing when you do something.)

Where is the most care taken today in optimising code? In crypto mining? Video game graphics? Movie CGI?
And I hope it will be the last one for a long time... How dangerous I am with a 3D printer at home...
