First session on Java OOP

A note for a technical presenter. 🧑‍💻👩‍💻
As shared before, I am a presenter for the Java academy for beginners.
I am happy that our JUG community is so active.
I am so proud to deliver a session on Java OOP, this time in Bulgarian 🇧🇬, my native tongue.

It felt strange to find words to translate a native English 🇺🇸 to my language, but also very satisfying.

One thing challenging for every person who wants to teach fundamentals is how low level or high level to go with.
Sometimes you can’t know the level of your audience in advance and you, as a presenter, need to take crucial decisions on how to structure the lecture.

Presenting on-line introduces another layer of complexity.
Delays, text size and switching between presenting and coding are some of them.
Nevertheless, the point is to improve based on the feedback of your students.
Do more live coding 💻 examples and ask questions, try to make it as interactive and fun as possible. I know it is Java language which is very complex if you need to go with every single detail, but make it fun and enjoy the process.

Where is the performance and load testing

I am reading the book “That will never work” by the founder of Netflix. From a technical point of view, something that really intrigues me is their launch process. The engineering team proposed an increase in server bandwidth to accommodate a higher request volume; however, the business unit expressed uncertainty regarding the projected demand. This result in a lot of guess work and a huge stress on the engineering team during the launch day. On the positive end, they did have stage and prod environment, which is a best practice approach. Scalable system architectures are now critical, yet comprehensive load and performance testing remains insufficiently prioritized. Similar things happened to Healthcare gov on it’s launch day. The key takeaway is the importance of proactive planning and scalable system architecture to accommodate fluctuating demand.

Perks of being part of a non-profit

When you join a non-profit, you do it because you believe in the cause. However, if you do something for free, you expect work and people you work with to motivate you to do your fully. If the culture is already toxic, don’t expect you will be able to change it. Then the perks of being part of non-profit are replaced with the pain of being in an organization that even doesn’t pay you. This is also the issue with political parties which want to attract people to promote their ideas. Most of the time, people see how bad the situation is and run away. Let this be the message for all the people who want to build something new based only on the idea. Give your followers or colleagues something they can embrace and enjoy to be able not only to at
