Almost every single day I TLDR!

Here, I list all the articles, blog posts, pages I've read, or videos I've watched, that I found interesting. It's like a huge shared bookmarks registry with y'all! Or it's like a daily newsletter without newsletter. Use Ctrl+F and find what you want. Fun fact: Github only displays the readme until ~5000 lines.

I'm reading mostly about Scala, Data Engineering, Java, Javascript, Big Data, DDD, and technology. 💪

• I'm the co-founder of https://www.conduktor.io/, the best Desktop application to manage a Kafka ecosystem. Download, Install, Connect, done!
• I'm writing articles on my blog about these topics.
