Artificial intelligence isn’t just changing how we write code—it’s transforming how we think about creativity in development. In this post, I revisit the playful spirit of early programming through a series of AI-assisted experiments using ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, and JavaScript Canvas on CodePen. Along the way, I uncover practical lessons for developers on using AI to accelerate learning, inspire exploration, and rekindle the joy of creative coding…
Integrating AI into Java projects has traditionally been complex—requiring multiple SDKs, custom integrations, and provider-specific code. Spring AI simplifies this process by providing a single, consistent layer for working with large language models in Spring Boot. No more stitching together libraries or rewriting code for every provider. In this guide, we’ll explore what Spring AI is, why it matters for …
Remember when blockchain was going to change everything? Now AI is the trend dominating every conversation—but some of the most effective programming ideas have been around for decades. This post examines one of COBOL’s lesser-known yet highly practical features: the 88-level field. Far more than a simple boolean, 88-level fields provide a clear, maintainable way to describe data conditions, enforce business rules, and streamline initialization. Through real-world examples, you’ll see how this feature can reduce complexity, eliminate hard-coded values, and make logic more expressive—demonstrating that sometimes proven tools from “old” languages still have lessons worth applying today.
Microservices can quickly become sluggish without the right caching strategy, leading to slow responses, database strain, and inconsistent data. Effective microservices caching minimizes these issues, ensuring smooth, high-speed performance and improved reliability. At Keyhole Software, we help businesses implement the right caching solutions to optimize efficiency. Let’s explore how you can do the same. The Role of Caching in Microservices …
When an application struggles to keep up with user demand, slow response times can frustrate users and impact business performance. Without proper optimization, heavy traffic can lead to slow load times, system crashes, and lost opportunities. At Keyhole Software, we specialize in helping businesses optimize API performance for high-traffic applications to ensure their systems remain fast, reliable, and scalable. In …
