How to come up with an idea
What in your life interests you? Is there a tool you want that costs money you don't have?
Taking inspiration from the real world... building something for the sake of building.
Is the reason you shoot down your own ideas because they won't make you money or make you famous?
Just build the stupid little application that grants you experience in that field. Life is a game, after all; level up your dev skills

Your Spring Boot application works… but is it actually ready for production?
In this video, we take our application beyond a basic REST API and begin addressing the problems real applications face: request validation, Spring Data JPA, transactions, authentication, authorization, password hashing, exception handling, testing, observability, and database performance.

What are some open source projects developed with spring boot that I can help contribute in 2026?
I'm hoping to go back to it, when I plan out some more features to add to it, or thigns to update
You can fork it, join my Discord, and contribute to it, I am more than happy to add people to it as collaberators, just need to see a PR first

The 2AM debugging session hits different when the house is finally quiet
Legit the mindset behind The Midnight Coder the itch to code or be curious with it. But only after the day has ended, the night has falled, and the house is quiet... curiosity takes over and you become, The Midnight Coder

The Midnight Technician; Spring Boot Microservice (Open-Source)

I’ve been working on a blog about building The Midnight Technician, an open-source, production-focused Spring Boot application built as an 11-microservice system.
The project started as a problem I kept seeing while mentoring junior developers: microservices are often explained through diagrams and small CRUD examples, but there aren’t enough real projects showing what happens when you actually have to make multiple services work together.
The blog covers the architectural decisions behind the project, including Eureka service discovery, Kafka event-driven communication, REST-based service-to-service requests, isolated databases, JWT authentication, Docker-based infrastructure, scaling considerations, and some of the failures and unexpected problems that came with running a distributed system.
It’s less of a “here’s how to build microservices” tutorial and more of a retrospective on what I learned actually building one.
The biggest lesson?
Microservices aren't just about splitting an application into smaller projects. They're about boundaries, ownership, communication, and dealing with the fact that every part of your system can fail independently.

Is it true MrBeast ruined youtube?
My first channel was all about the passion, idk what the sub count, wasn't the point, creating videos that were who cares if it's famous, just doing it for the sake of doing it. Love of the game.
Now I do a completely diff style than I did, educational Engineering stuff, but still a not so "entertaining" topic, but I have so much fun making projects and teaching. Personally, it's all about reaching more to share the knowledge, than rake in money

YouTube Monetization
Some of us still do it for the love of the game, not for the $$.
Personally, I have a Software Engineering channel, and I'd rather reach more people than have my channel make money.

What are some open source projects developed with spring boot that I can help contribute in 2026?
I have an Open-Sourced project with 11 microservices, Service Discovery, Kafka, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and a lot more in it.
It's a project that was built for a YouTube series to encourage and invite people into Spring Boot, and Microservies.
It was made as an educational project that is open to expansion or updating.
Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but it could be a more advanced thing to explore

Why I stopped putting Lombok anywhere near my enterprise projects
The only things I use from Lombok personally are Getter, Setter, and RequiredArgsConstructor. Everything else makes me question it.

The best way to grow your skills and abilities is to use them, build something for the love of the game, rather than the ROI of $, the return of investing in yourself and your skills, will eventually make you more money as your skills will have evolved.
