The Internet is very huge, and has been growing so fast from just private military projects to something that not only we can just enjoy using it, but the internet also provides some people a way to make revenue. From small scale to big tech companies like in FAANG (Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix and Google).

1. Don't expect too much at first

To some individual lone wolfer like us trying to make a dime from the internet, it’s sometimes not only so hard, but almost seems impossible. But today we have video streaming like Youtube, you literally only need to upload videos to youtube, probably a little bit skill in video editing, maintain the video quality and chances are you are gonna make some online income if you are very persistent.

Blogging on the other hand seems so simple but as nowadays the internet is already full with millions of websites, the chances of getting success on blogging are probably a bit smaller. But here’s just very simple tips if you are trying to start making pennies from blogging. Just keep adding content! But adding content I mean, write like 1000 words articles or longer and do it consistently every day.

2. Position yourself as a learner

You don’t need to look smart or perfect in your writing, in fact, it’s more engaging to read blogs that are not kind of you are the superior one and treating the reader like they are dumb. Don’t put yourself as your teacher, instead position yourself as you are someone that is also in the same position that you are also still learning.

There’s still some small percentage of people searching for silly things on the internet, so you might create a silly article one or twice to target those audiences. Even just 1% of people of one million, it’s already like 10,000 people, so it’s already a lot.

3. The future of blogging

Some say that this blogging or writing industry might not survive in a few years or decades because of AI that not only can generate humanly writing, they might also create very sophisticated video presentations, which usually people much prefer over writing.  

Blogging will at least survive and will last longer until there’s some very smart AI emerging, like GPT-3 successor or something. But then GPT-3 needs years from now to be very mature and have a general intelligence or at least the same capability in writing as humans did.

4. Sometimes we need to be less care

And also, there’s no reason to not to do something, if you think that writing is something that you like, you need to try in whatever endeavor to make yourself better. Unless it’s very dangerous and life threatening, then sure you should avoid that.

Like this article, to be honest i don’t know what the direction of this article is gonna be, but i keep writing it, and trying to finish it, and then posted it on this blog. Sometimes we need to be careless than to be perfectionists but there’s no actual output.

Spring Kafka - how to use ReplyingKafkaTemplate send and reply synchronously

By -

Microservice Spring with Apache Kafka Kafka is an asynchronous messaging queuing system, but when you have a case in your project that you need to have the result immediately from another service you can do that quite easily. Kafka from the client side produces a message to the server side, then waiting for the server to return back the message exactly what the client wants. It’s identified in the kafka header request named KafkaHeaders.CORRELATION_ID and a topic where the server should send. If the server side produces the same correlation id to the same topic in the request, then the client side will catch that message as its reply. Although you can work with kafka from a different framework and language other than Java and Spring. Here’s in this example i just specifically giving the example of sending and replying kafka messages using Spring Boot. The Project Overview The client-project will send a string message to the server-project over kafka, then the server-project wil

MySQL and MariaDB password As already mentioned in the title of this blog, this error message sometimes occurred when we are trying to update our root password database, either MySQL or MariaDB, The error says: ERROR 1348 (HY000): Column 'Password' is not updatable This is because if we use this SQL command to update our database root password, and it turn out to be Restricted by MySQL to use update on mysql database.

flutter button left text Developing a flutter UI is very difficult for a beginner or I think any other technology it’s very intimidating for a starter. I remember my first time trying to make a button in Flutter that had left aligned text in it. I spent a lot of time on how to make it but never made it. Once you are getting familiar with flutter widget or component blocks, you can apply whatever style you want for your app. In html you can just do something like <button style=”text-align:left”>Text</button> but in flutter it is a bit tricky. So here I provide an example on how you can align text inside a flutter button to the left. Flutter button with left align text import 'package:flutter/material.dart'; void main() { runApp(MyApp()); } class MyApp extends StatelessWidget { @override Widget build(BuildContext context) { return MaterialApp( title: 'Flutter Demo', theme: ThemeData( primarySwatch: Colors.blue, visualDe

Reactive Spring Logo This is maybe a very simple task, but for those of you that may not be familiar with WebFlux found it difficult to create a Rest API that handles upload and download in Reactive spring application. Create the skeleton Spring project Create a new project, go to start.spring.io , on the dependencies section, add Spring Reactive Web. Generate and extract it into your desired project location. Instead of using spring-boot-starter-web, use spring-boot-starter-webflux instead in your pom.xml. Here’s the pom.xml for our Reactive Rest API project. Create our Rest controller Now that you have set to use WebFlux instead of the usual web, we have to change a little bit in the Controller class that handles the API endpoints. It doesn’t change much but you have to wrap the Response in Mono and the request parameter to FilePart. So our upload and download file controller will look like this. Create utility to handle file upload We need to structure our project better, so we cr
