We often don’t realize how much we change until we look back. From being a confused student to working in the tech industry -this is my journey so far. I graduated in Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE), but I always had a strong interest in Technology and Software. During college, I was exploring many things without clear direction. I was curious, but still figuring out my path. Today, I work as a Program Analyst . Over time, I was able to turn my interest into a career in tech. Along with my work, I still enjoy exploring deeply - tech, creative ideas, Real Projects, and more . I’m not an expert in everything, but I enjoy learning something new every day. A big thanks to Amigoscode, to provide free learning resources. This is not a success story - just a simple journey of growth and learning. https://medium.com/@tharveshmuhaideen/not-perfect-just-evolving-53dced0f010e

Hi team, i am new here all the way from Africa, a country called Namibia....

I'm curious to see what everyone is learning right now. I'm personally interested in the Zero to Hired Roadmap: Linux → Java → Spring Boot → Frontend → DevOps → AI Engineering What course are you currently taking, and how's your progress going? Feel free to share your learning goals too! 😀

“One of the Most Expensive Java Bugs Starts With ==” Most developers know: - == compares references - .equals() compares values But very few actually understand what’s happening inside JVM memory. In this video, I break down: - how the String Pool works - why "Hello" == "Hello" returns true - why new String("Hello") changes everything - how Java reuses references internally - and how this tiny mistake silently causes production bugs We’ll even visualize: - heap memory - pooled strings - object identity - and intern() behavior Once you understand this, concepts like: - HashMap internals - caching - immutability - Hibernate equality - and JVM optimizations Repository Article

A few years ago I made a Spring Security course. Then everything changed — breaking changes, new APIs, deprecated stuff everywhere. The course aged badly and I didn't want to keep band-aiding it. So we rebuilt the whole thing from scratch. Here's the roadmap 👇 🔐 Part 1 — Foundations 🔑 Part 2 — JWT + Refresh Tokens 🚀 Part 3 — Advanced (coming soon after) Parts 1 & 2 drop next week. Inside Part 1 (5+ hours): ✅ Security Filter Chain — finally explained properly ✅ AuthenticationProvider, AuthenticationManager, SecurityContextHolder ✅ UserDetailsService + custom DAO auth ✅ Form login, Basic Auth, sessions ✅ BCrypt, salting, hashing, rainbow tables ✅ Roles vs Authorities (and why ROLE_ exists 🙃) ✅ Storing users + roles + permissions in a DB ✅ Security events with listeners Then Part 2 goes deep on JWT + refresh tokens — the way it should be done. If you've ever stared at a Spring Security config file and felt your soul leave your body… this one's for you. 👉 Drop a 🔐 below if you want me to tag you when it drops
