Description
A lot of programming is split into the mechanical work of writing what you know, and the creative work of figuring out what you don't know. Wouldn't it be nice to automate the mechanical stuff away?
Well the good news is we're already automating a lot of it. Every time you run a refactoring tool or a pretty-printer, you're handing boring work off to the computer. But how does that magic work, and how can we do more of it?
This week we're joined by one of the authors of OpenRewrite—Jonathan Schneider—to learn how automated code-rewriting tools really work. From the basic approach to the hairy corner cases, to the reality of keeping developers happy with the subjective side of the results.
It takes a lot of work to automate work away - this week we'll learn how the work gets done for us too.

This week on Developer Voices we're talking to Ryan Worl, whose career in big data engineering has taken him from DataDog to Co-Founding WarpStream, an Apache Kafka-compatible streaming system that uses Golang for the brains and S3 for the storage.
Ryan tells us about his time at DataDog, along...

PostgreSQL is an incredible general-purpose database, but it can't do everything. Every design decision is a tradeoff, and inevitably some of those tradeoffs get fundamentally baked into the way it's built. Take storage for instance - Postgres tables are row-oriented; great for row-by-row access,...
