As others have mentioned Vault, Keycloak, Flink are language agnostic. Regarding the switch from Java to .NET, I would rather recommend switching to Kotlin instead of .NET for a developer experience similar to C#, while still keeping your existing expertise in Java and its ecosystem. And this comes from someone in a .NET shop currently, but have worked with Java before. IMHO both languages and surrounding ecosystems are good. Both have their pros and cons and quirks.


Have you tried Aider-desk? (https://github.com/hotovo/aider-desk)

I haven’t fully tested it yet, but I found it because its supports JetBrains IDE integration. It has MCPs as well.


What kind of massive memory problems? I might have this but didn't think to attribute it to burnout.


When I burned out I experienced skill regression and short term memory loss. Like, an inability to remember specific events of the day before, inability to perform skills I had done for decades like play an instrument. Took over a year to stabilize and return to normal.


Yes, this is extremely similar to my experience

I cannot remember events, conversations, or details about important things. I have partially lost my ability to code, because I get partway through implementing a feature and forget what pieces I've done and which pieces still need to be done

I can still write it, but the quality of my work has plummeted, which is part of why I'm off on leave now


Hang in there, it gets better and the skills come back. From my github:

  2,350 contributions in 2021
  2,661 contributions in 2022
  381 contributions in 2023 <--- burnout
  794 contributions in 2024 <--- recovery
  1,632 contributions in 2025 (so far)
My recovery took about 18 months. It took time, and a lot of rest. I'd have to sleep like 12 hours a day sometimes.


Thank you for the kind encouragement

I hope my recovery doesn't take that long, but if it does it does

I would rather give myself the space and time to really get better, rather than simply rush back to work and burn out again


was going through something similar. here's my anti burnout protocol thats kept me functional all the way to my current position as founder and CTO of a profitable startup.

1. 1 tablespoon of cold extracted cod liver oil EVERY MORNING

2. 30 min of running 3-4 times a week

3. 2-3 weight lifting sessions every week

4. regular walks.

5. cross train on different intellectually stimulating subjects. doing the same cognitive tasks over and over is like repetive motion on your muscles

6. regularly scheduled "fallow mind time." I set aside an 30 min to an hour everyday to just sit in a chair and let my mind wander. its not meditation. I jsut sit and let my mind drift to whatever it wants.

7. while it should be avoided, in the event that you have to crunch, RESPECT THE COOLDOWN. take downtime after. don't let your nontechnical leads talk you out of it. thinking hard for extended periods of time requires appropriate recovery.

the human brain is a complex system and while we think of our mind as abstract and immaterial, it is in reality a whole lot of physical systems that grow, change and use resources the same way any other physical system in your body does. just like muscles need to recover after a workout to get stronger, so too does your brain after extended periods of deep thinking.


Mine is more of a long term memory loss. Inability to recall some memorable events from months or even a year ago. I’ll definitely check or go talk with someone.


Also asking for a friend…


Really sorry to hear that

All I can suggest is see a doctor as soon as possible and talk to them about it


Difficult to explain because it's inconsistent

But I am struggling to remember things I did not used to struggle with

Going to an event on a weekend with my wife and completely forgetting that we ran into a friend there. Not just "oh yeah I forgot we saw them", like feeling my wife is lying to me when she tells me we saw them. Texting them to ask and they agree we saw each other

These are people I trust with my life so I believe they would not gaslight me, my own memory has just failed

Many examples like this, just completely blacking out things. Not forgetting everything, but blacking out large pieces of my daily life. Even big things


Unless the underlying AI agent models continue to improve over time. Isn’t that the mantra of all AI CEOs, that we are simply riding the wave of technological progress.


or ships, specifically sailboats? I would like to know if this would be a more viable material than what is currently used.


What you are talking about is a Charge card, but in Europe you can get a Revolving credit[1] card as well but I would say they are not as common as in US.

On the Charge "credit" card you don't pay interest unless you go into overdraft at the end of the payment day for the month.

With the revolving credit you pay the balance on your own terms but you pay the interest rate for it until closed.

Aren't we there yet? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatsune_Miku

I saw somewhere that this "girl" fills concerts.


And when you include Keyclokify[1] the UI customisability is a breez. This comparison really isn't giving the full picture and capability of Keycloak.

Right. Makes sense. I think what we had originally intended to communicate is the ease of customisability, in which case, we feel that Keycloak's UI customisation is more difficult to do.


Wow, this is pretty cool, thanks for linking this!


They need to phase out the motorcycles also. Where I live those are the worst.


The official resources and documentation are pretty good.
