Tech workers: The only piece of technology in my house is a printer and I keep a gun next to it so I can shoot it if it makes a noise I don't recognize.
App Modernization 👴
I’ve recently read about a legacy displacement pattern called Legacy Mimic.
Composed by 2 main components: a Service Providing Mimic and a Service Consuming Mimic; this pattern allows these temporary components to mimic certain behaviours and keep the old legacy running and working with the new code.
It is a quite simple but very effective approach and it definitely deserves a read.

The new system interacts with the legacy system in such a way that the old system is not aware of any changes.

API Security 🔒
Knowing how to implement API security best practices is key, nowadays.
Considering how many APIs we have to create and use during our developer journey it’s almost mandatory at least to know how to secure them in the right way. 👈🏻
From VMware Tanzu a very well written article about this important topic 🚨
What is API security?
What is API security?
As microservices, containers, and cloud-based services have become commonplace, the number of exposed APIs—and attacks against them—has exploded. As a result, API security has become a critical component of application security.

Anatomy of an ELF Executable 🔬
I’ve been always curious about the ELF binary composition and I found this small but very well documented example on Github.
It helps you to visualise each part of the ELF binary explaining what they do and why.
This spare knowledge is not necessary if you are not working with ELF binaries but it’s something that can be always useful to know about. 🤨
As a Software Engineer, I can’t help myself, trying to learn as much as I can 📚
