I usually try to write a fancy description but not this time.

I made a new blog post. Go read it!

Is anyone having a nice to use benchmarking framework for Java? Last time I wrote one was in Go and it was easy as pie, I’m a little lost :/

@rikilele @MeetApollo “Frequently asked questions about Riki Khorana” you sound in high demand my friend 🤔

A few months ago, I lead efforts in my company to introduce an auto-formatter to our 1M+ lines Java codebase. It was a bumpy ride (but I still think it was worth it!)

A lot of things happened, but long story short I quit Tokyo and my job at PlayStation, to go back to France and work for @datadoghq

Made a CLI to simplify writing Java in editors like VIM by auto adding relevant import statements every time I save a file. Have a look!

Not touching code at all for two weeks is the best thing I’ve done lately. For my inspiration, motivation, and for my sanity too 🤣

[Nicolas Couvrat @nicol4s_c]

@Rikilele Do they do this in English too? 🤣

Abstract but interesting: how to judge if an abstraction is appropriate or not by Cheng Lou.
As someone sometimes guilty of over-abstracting code, this was enlightening!

@ReactFest @YLDio I noticed all the talk videos from ReactFest 2018 have been taken down of Youtube. Any way to get the originals? Thanks!

I thought it was a meme, but I did it. I accidentally ran rm -rf ~/ 🤪

When you rush and add features to make it on time for a demo, then spend double that time trying to figure out how to clean up the f**ing mess you made 😐

[Nicolas Couvrat @nicol4s_c]

I published a few stories with you two years ago, so I’m already a writer but figured I would ask first before submitting!

[Nicolas Couvrat @nicol4s_c]

@gitconnected Quick question: Do you published imported stories (from a personal blog)?

[Nicolas Couvrat @nicol4s_c]

A very satisfying Tupperware name 🤣 #unix #Linux

Realized today while refactoring the meaning of “Don’t Repeat Yourself even in the comments”: most if not all of the comments on my PR were about (now) out of date comments (and the reviewer forgot some...)

Made a new blogpost to explain how goimports finds packages and automatically adds import statements at the top of a file:
