https://giuliomagnifico.blog/misc/2023/07/22/I-found-a-IT-job-thanks-to-this-blog.html
As we know from previous links engineers should write. But there could be also other benefits from writing - here you can read a story about being hired because the guy is writing about what he is doing.
5. Migrating 10MinuteMail from Java to GraalVM Native
A short write-up about migrating 10MinuteMail SaaS to GraalVM. Results are astonishing - startup time down from 30 seconds to 3 milliseconds (!) and memory footprint from 6.6 to 1 GB! Not all applications could be migrated like this, but worth checking!
6. I have written a JVM in Rust
https://andreabergia.com/blog/2023/07/i-have-written-a-jvm-in-rust/
Quite technical, but very interesting - in the process of learning Rust this guy wrote a simple implementation of JVM (Java Virtual Machine). Pretty awesome!
7. A JVM in Rust part 2 - The class files format
https://andreabergia.com/blog/2023/07/a-jvm-in-rust-part-2-the-class-files-format/
The next part of JVM in Rust series - a supplementary about the .class file format. Worth checking, especially if you are from the JVM world.
