A friend recently learned about Proebsting's law and mentioned it to me off hand. I knew about the law's existence but I never really asked myself - do I believe in it?

For people who aren't aware, Proebsting's law states:

Compiler Advances Double Computing Power Every 18 Years

Which is to say, if you upgrade your compiler every 18 years, you would expect on average your code to double in performance on the same hardware.

I've been working with Apache Kafka for over 7 years. I inevitably find myself doing the same set of activities while I'm developing or working with someone else's system. Here's a set of Kafka productivity hacks for doing a few things way faster than you're probably doing them now. 🔥

• Show me all my Kafka topics and their partitions, replicas, and consumers
• Show me the contents of a topic
• Create a Kafka topic
• Produce messages to a Kafka topic
• Validate the schema of messages before producing to a topic
• Do all of this at a distance

Migrating from Knative Build

This doc describes a process for users who are familiar with Knative Build and BuildTemplate resources to migrate to Tekton TaskRuns and Tasks, respectively.

Tekton's resources are heavily influenced by Knative's Build-related resources, with some additional features that enable them to be chained together inside a Pipeline, and provide additional flexibility and reusability.

Using Git Commit Message Templates to Write Better Commit Messages

The always enthusiastic and knowledgeable mr. @jasaltvik shared with our team an article on writing (good) Git commit messages: How to Write a Git Commit Message. This excellent article explains why good Git commit messages are important, and explains what constitutes a good commit message. I wholeheartedly agree with what @cbeams writes in his article. (Have you read it yet? If not, go read it now. I'll wait.) It's sensible stuff. So I decided to start following the

Xipiryon

#!/bin/bash

git log --name-only --pretty=format: -- $1 | sort | uniq -c | head -n 1

# --name-only         = Show only names of changed files
# --pretty=format:    = Remove the information, leaving only filenames
# -- $1               = Only show commits in that path (expected as argument)

# first sort will make sure things are sorted, so ...
# ... uniq -c can effectively merge all duplicates lines, counting them

Quick Tips for Fast Code on the JVM

I was talking to a coworker recently about general techniques that almost always form the core of any effort to write very fast, down-to-the-metal hot path code on the JVM, and they pointed out that there really isn't a particularly good place to go for this information. It occurred to me that, really, I had more or less picked up all of it by word of mouth and experience, and there just aren't any good reference sources on the topic. So… here's my word of mouth.

This is by no means a comprehensive gist. It's also important to understand that the techniques that I outline in here are not 100% absolute either. Performance on the JVM is an incredibly complicated subject, and while there are rules that almost always hold true, the "almost" remains very salient. Also, for many or even most applications, there will be other techniques that I'm not mentioning which will have a greater impact. JMH, Java Flight Recorder, and a good profiler are your very best friend! Mea
