What is with this Hello World? A lot of people are probably wondering why a fresh WordPress install always comes with the familiar Hello World! post. For the non-techies, non-programmers and ...

The other day, I was working on a huge JSON object that had a number of collections in it. The entire object had to be saved into a relational database, which means I was mapping out the raw JSON data to its logical representation as database tables. Though the object wasn’t that complicated, it did...
Using Repository interfaces, one can develop applications with an underlying database rapidly in Spring Boot. The Spring Data JPA handles the abstraction of the persistence layer quite well. Many times you probably won’t need anything else beyond what it has to offer. A lot can already be done with the exposed methods for data access...
As a back-end developer, consuming JSON objects is pretty much very common. I think it is second only to publishing data in JSON format, the other end of what is usually a 2-way street. We may have a REST API endpoint that accepts orders for an online food delivery service that takes in JSON formatted...
Going to skip right away to the juicy stuff as much as I can. I won’t discuss about what OpenShift is or what the Secrets feature does. This is only about my experience the first time I dealt with Secrets and how I used it for a Spring Boot Kafka consumer/client application. The problem I...
She’s grown. Not a lot. But still. Her fur has grown thicker. Especially around the neck areas and behind/around the ears. Her back used to be half white and half brown fur. The latter being at the lower portion. Now that brownish hair has creeped upwards almost entirely covering her back. Tail has grown longer...
The Feature-Policy header is no more. It is replaced by Permissions-Policy. I’ve started using it as soon as I read about the news. This policy – for both the old and the new one – is for, and I quote: This specification defines a mechanism that allows developers to selectively enable and disable use of...
For the last 3 days I have been messing around with Google ChromeOS on a HP Notebook – 15–ay190nia on loan to me for a week. It has been fun so far. Though it’s not all smiles and giggles all the way as it should be, since the hardware on this old thing kind of limits me,...
I had this custom page on my WordPress site where I would show only posts from a specific category. This was done manually, as in I PHP-coded a function into one of the theme’s PHP files to accept a shortcode, so it would do what I wanted it to. There is a big chance that...
Something I encounter every now and then on application deployments. This is common especially on the first time you commit/push your code to your Git repository with CI/CD configured. Error message looks something like: ./gradlew: Permission denied The Build stage will fail at this point because gradlew gets a permission denied error and therefore cannot...
