I love getting notes like this! 😍 (It was about this blog post of mine: www.wimdeblauwe.com/blog/2021/05...)

Image shows the following quote: "This post was so helpful. I could not find any other tutorial about accepting HTML form submissions in Spring using Thymeleaf it's always JSON submissions or JSP. Since I cannot express the full object in the form (due to the object having foreign keys), the validation would always fail and it would get reset to the default constructor. The intermediate form data and parameters classes were exactly what I needed. Thank you so much for this tutorial! I wish all Spring tutorials were this modern and well-written."

Just discovered that claude.ai can generate SVG images. Even animated ones. I used this prompt: "Create an SVG that represents: * Locality of Behaviour * Spooky action in the distance". And I got this SVG ->

Glad to see Apple finally fixed the language chooser screen on their website if you use a phone.
