Order and randomness, meticulousness and impulsiveness, drawing excess and graphic reduction are just some of the vibrant, tension-loaded poles that characterize the large-format drawings of the German artist Jorinde Voigt (b. 1977). Her works condense various elements of the cultural environment in the dynamic sequences of strokes, turbulently curving lines, diagrammatic structures, numbers, word fragments and collaged color areas of her drawings – which the passionate cello player refers to as “scores” or “notations”. She systematically analyses pop songs or pieces of classical music, kisses, temperature profiles, an eagle’s flight-path, horizon lines or the color values of individual plants and the contents of philosophical texts. Voigt uses measureable parameters like place, time, or sound volume, and self-defined rules or selected algorithms, and combines these fragments and impressions of reality to produce dynamic relational structures, thus creating a polyphony of different ways of perceiving the world. Jorinde Voigt’s largest solo exhibition to date – which builds a bridge from her early notations, reminiscent of classical conceptual art, to her most recent works that reflect the human desire to fly – traces the development of the specific system of symbols the artist uses to document and orchestrate processes of perception, imagination and thought.

When thinking about Java fields we use-site target in Kotlin

One of the greatest strong points of Kotlin can also be its weakness. When we talk about data classes today, and in the same way java records, we tend to focus, at least many people I know do, on the complete elimination of the boilerplate code. Boilerplate code has been something that has been annoying developers for ages. It exists not only in Java, but other languages have that as well. If we think about creating data access objects any way, it doesn’t really matter if we do it in Kotlin or Java or any other language. Frequently we repeat the same process: repository creation, service and controller. A lot of what we do is boilerplate any way still. However boilerplate code may have been a part of the decision to create data classes or java records, a more important paradigm of software engineering was the actual focal point of creating these types of data structures. It all boils down to immutability or in any case the possibility thereof. Let’s rollback the time and go back to 1995 where we started at some point to create data structures where we would specify different things. We would define the fields, the getters, the setters, the properties, the accessors, the attributes and the parameters in a way to be able to pass our arguments to either the methods, the functions or the contructors. Fot this part we will have some fun programming using the characters of the mid-80’s series: The Golden Girls. Having said this, let’s see how a class would look like for about 15 years:

public class GoldenGirlsJava { public String goldenGirl1; private final String goldenGirl2; private final String goldenGirl3; private final String goldenGirl4; public GoldenGirlsJava() { this.goldenGirl1 = "Dorothy Zbornak"; this.goldenGirl2 = "Rose Nylund"; this.goldenGirl3 = "Blanche Devereaux"; this.goldenGirl4 = "Sophia Petrillo"; } public GoldenGirlsJava( String goldenGirl1, String goldenGirl2, String goldenGirl3, String goldenGirl4 ) { this.goldenGirl1 = goldenGirl1; this.goldenGirl2 = goldenGirl2; this.goldenGirl3 = goldenGirl3; this.goldenGirl4 = goldenGirl4; } public String getGoldenGirl1() { return goldenGirl1; } public void setGoldenGirl1(String goldenGirl1) { this.goldenGirl1 = goldenGirl1; } public String getGoldenGirl2() { return goldenGirl2; } public String getGoldenGirl3() { return goldenGirl3; } public String getGoldenGirl4() { return goldenGirl4; } @Override public String toString() { return "GoldenGirlsJava{" + "goldenGirl1='" + goldenGirl1 + '\'' + ", goldenGirl2='" + goldenGirl2 + '\'' + ", goldenGirl3='" + goldenGirl3 + '\'' + ", goldenGirl4='" + goldenGirl4 + '\'' + '}'; } }

This was a tremendous amount of code to type in only to create two contructors. Although the hashcode and equals weren’t necessarily a must in all occasions, we almost always had to implememt a no arguments contructor next to a more generalistic constructor. The good thing about creating all of this boilerplate code is that we knew very clearly how everything would look like after compiling to bytecode. However, and in any case, boilerplate code was always a contentious issue for many developers and so in 2009, lombok came along and revolutionized the way we create data structures. It introduced the concept of using an annotation processor and interpreting specific annotations that would give the qualities we needed for our classes and so a lombok annotated class would look like this:

@Getter @Setter @AllArgsConstructor @ToString public class GoldenGirlsLombok { public String goldenGirl1; private final String goldenGirl2; private final String goldenGirl3; private final String goldenGirl4; public GoldenGirlsLombok() { this.goldenGirl1 = "Dorothy Zbornak"; this.goldenGirl2 = "Rose Nylund"; this.goldenGirl3 = "Blanche Devereaux"; this.goldenGirl4 = "Sophia Petrillo"; } }

And for a while, people were very happy about Lombok! Finally the weight of having to create all of that boilerplate code was gone. But that felling endured for about 7 years, when a new player arrived and this time it was something the software development industry didn’t expected. It was called Kotlin and in 2016 it debuted with the immediate introduction of data classes. Our golden girls implementation in Kotlin would now look like this:

data class GoldenGirls( var goldenGirl1: String = "Dorothy Zbornak", private val goldenGirl2: String = "Rose Nylund", private val goldenGirl3: String = "Blanche Devereaux", private val goldenGirl4: String = "Sophia Petrillo" )

Although Kotlin slowly started gathering fans, Java on the other hand realized that something else was in the market and some developments on that side started gaining some steam like project Loom which had been in the making but also left in the back burner for a while. That is why, with the release of Java 14 in 20202, Java introduced java records, and data structures in Java would now look like this: public record GoldenGirlsRecord( String goldenGirl1, String goldenGirl2, String goldenGirl3, String goldenGirl4 ) { public GoldenGirlsRecord() { this( "Dorothy Zbornak", "Rose Nylund", "Blanche Devereaux", "Sophia Petrillo" ); } }

And to this day code simplification and code reduction seems only to continue. However with the reduction of the boilerplate code, the concepts of fields, getters, setters, properties, accessors, attributes and parameters became far less visual and less easy to map in our minds. Whether we like it or not those concepts are still how the JVM works and organizes code with the bytecode. But code oversimplification is really about making code easier to read and in the case of data classes and java records the idea is also to create data structures that are immutable or partially immutable. Java records are truly immutable in the sense that all values it contains or references it contains cannot be modified. Kotlin data classes can be also truly immutable for the same reasons but they don’t have to which in a way gives permission to developers to create complicated and worst of all, mutable code anyway. In any case this is all good until we then need to work with frameworks like the Spring Framework, which rely heavily on annotations. Here is an example:

@Entity @Table(name = "shelf_case") data class Case( @Id @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.SEQUENCE) val id: Long?, var designation: String?, var weight: Long? ) { constructor() : this(0L, null, null) override fun toString(): String { return super.toString() } }

This example works fine. To the unsuspecting eye, there isn’t a lot special going on here. This works in Kotlin, just in the same way as it would work in Java. But now let’s have a look at a similar example, but this time with Jackson annotations:

data class AccountNumbersPassiveDto( @NotNull val accountNumberLong: Long?, val accountNumberNullable: Long?, @DecimalMax(value = "10") @DecimalMin(value = "5") val accountNumber: BigDecimal, val accountNumberEven: Int, val accountNumberOdd: Int, @Positive val accountNumberPositive: Int, @Negative val accountNumberNegative: Int, @DecimalMax(value = "5", groups = [LowProfile::class]) @DecimalMax(value = "10", groups = [MiddleProfile::class]) @DecimalMax(value = "15", groups = [HighProfile::class]) @DecimalMax(value = "20") val accountNumberMaxList:Int )

This example will fail and the reason for that is that in Kotlin, there is no way to tell the compiler where exactly to we want our annotation to be applied to. In the previous example with annotation @Entity, which is a jakarta persistence annotation, the annoations are applied correctly to the fields. If we decompile that code we’ll find this:

public final class Case { @Id @GeneratedValue( strategy = GenerationType.SEQUENCE ) @Nullable private final Long id; @Nullable private String designation; @Nullable private Long weight;

But for the latter, which is a jakarta validation example, we find this:

public final class AccountNumbersPassiveDto { @Nullable private final Long accountNumberLong; @Nullable private final Long accountNumberNullable; @NotNull private final BigDecimal accountNumber; private final int accountNumberEven; private final int accountNumberOdd;

This means that AccountNumbersDto has not been affected by those annotations on its fields. We were just lucky in the first example. It might have actually also failed. In order to specify where our annotation needs to go to, Kotlin gives us the possibility to use use-site targets as prefix to any annotation. The requirement is of course that conditions are met. In this case, one way to fix this is to prefix all of the annotations with @field like this:

data class AccountNumbersPassiveDto( @field:NotNull val accountNumberLong: Long?, val accountNumberNullable: Long?, @field:DecimalMax(value = "10") @field:DecimalMin(value = "5") val accountNumber: BigDecimal, val accountNumberEven: Int, val accountNumberOdd: Int, @field:Positive val accountNumberPositive: Int, @field:Negative val accountNumberNegative: Int, @field:DecimalMax(value = "5", groups = [LowProfile::class]) @field:DecimalMax(value = "10", groups = [MiddleProfile::class]) @field:DecimalMax(value = "15", groups = [HighProfile::class]) @field:DecimalMax(value = "20") val accountNumberMaxList:Int )

If we now try to decompile the resulting bytecode using IntelliJ, we’ll find that it results in this code in Java:

public final class AccountNumbersPassiveDto { @NotNull @Nullable private final Long accountNumberLong; @Nullable private final Long accountNumberNullable; @DecimalMax("10") @DecimalMin("5") @org.jetbrains.annotations.NotNull

This means that the annotations have been applied to field and that our code works as it is supposed to.

You can probably imagine at this point that people who have been working on Java for a long time, will have no problem in adapting to Kotlin because we all know what fields, parameters, properties, etc, are. What we observe today and I witness that too, is that it seems like the code simplification has a potential to backfire. There have been quite a few occasions where I have become aware of the time spent in projects trying to figure how why in some projects or modules, the annotations just don’t seem to work. And it all seems to boil down to not making use of the use-site targets. My theory on that is that most likely, new generations of developers will look at things that my generation didn’t think was complicated and learned out of instinct, as really complicated material. Such is the case with use-site targets. These used to be things that we could very easily visualize. However in current times, the generated confusion with this seems to be delaying projects from being developed on time in some occasions. I wouldn’t be able to generalize of course but there is potential for good and there is potential for bad with java records and data classes. How data classes and records will shape our future is hard to tell, but one thing that is clear is that because of this problematic, other frameworks are betting on going completely annotation free as is the case with Ktor.

I have created documentation on this on Scribed: Fields-in-Java-and-Kotlin-and-What-to-Expectand also on slide-share: fields-in-java-and-kotlin-and-what-to-expect.

You can also find the examples I’ve given on GitHub. The golden girls example can be found here:jeorg-kotlin-test-drives and the jakarta persistence and validation annotations examples can be found here: [jeorg-spring-master-test-drives][https://github.com/jesperancinha/jeorg-spring-master-test-drives).

Driving Distances

Conscious constraints of mobility. Partially inspired by Rinus van de Velde who limits the distance he allows himself to travel to 1250 kilometers and personally contemplating the kind of restriction that would feel optimal. In a world and life of constant and ever increasing options and parallel use of resources I'm interested in finding parameters that would provide a new perspective on freedom of movement, travel, holiday, exploration. Both from a professional as personal perspective, a hard cap to your options feels simultaneously daunting and refreshing. Through the use of mapdevelopers.com I plotted circles ranging from 500 to 2250 kilometers in 250km increments starting from my house. It is interesting to immediately experience the limit of 500km being too restrictive for the rest of my life but would be fine for a period of a year or two. 2250km gets me to Moskow, Athena, Istanbul, Casablanca, Reykjavik and Hammerfest which spans the entirety of the European experience and feels to be more than sufficient to commit to. Will experiment with this in years to come.

Final Reflections

As I submit my final project for the semester, I can't help but think how much my idea of "design leadership" has evolved over the semester. Compiling and editing my writing from throughout the semester has made me realize just how fuzzy my understanding of the concept really was. My earlier projects were filled with buzzwords and vague filler content, as I was clearly trying to grasp the "essence" of design leadership. While there are a lot of esoteric concepts and "word words" that compose design leadership, its a lot more concrete than my earlier self seemed to realize. Here's my take at a non-BS summary I'd give my earlier self:

"Design" is not making something pretty. It's another word for "plan" or "strategy."

"Leadership" is not (merely) "management." It's a matter of taking ownership of your work and assuming its consequences.

"Parameters" are just your limitations for the project. They're pretty obvious—no need to search for them.

Putting a "stake in the ground" is merely working with integrity. Define your values and don't cross them.

"Responsibility" is just sticking to the aforementioned values.

Tumblr is arguably the worst social media platform (yes—even compared to X) and should have died in 2014.

Breaking the Cultural Parameters: Bridging Boundaries and Inspiring Change

Recently, I’ve embarked on a project to address the issue of limited public waterfront access in Holland, Michigan. Through the project process, I’ve come to Understand and respect the cultural parameters that are crucial when creating a design solution for this community.

One cultural parameter that I must navigate is the deep connection that the residents of Holland have with their natural surroundings. The community deeply values the preservation of the environment and seeks solutions that are in harmony with nature. To overcome this cultural parameter, I plan to incorporate sustainable design practices that prioritize the protection and conservation of the waterfront. By leveraging eco-friendly materials and renewable energy sources, I aim to create a design solution that aligns with the community's environmental values.

Another cultural parameter to consider is the diverse demographic makeup of the community. Holland embraces cultural diversity, and it is essential to design a waterfront access solution that is inclusive and considers the needs and preferences of residents from various cultural backgrounds. To address this parameter, I will conduct extensive user research and engage with community members representing different cultures and traditions. By actively involving them in the design process, I can ensure that the solution respects cultural diversity and fosters a sense of belonging for all.

Furthermore, Holland has a strong sense of community and collaboration. Overcoming the cultural parameter of community involvement requires establishing strong partnerships with local businesses, organizations, and government agencies. By actively seeking their input and involving them in the implementation and maintenance of the waterfront access projects, I can harness the collective wisdom and resources of the community to create a design solution that truly reflects their values and aspirations.

In navigating these cultural parameters, I am committed to creating a design solution that not only respects the cultural fabric of Holland but also enhances the overall quality of life for its residents. By embracing the richness of cultural diversity, prioritizing sustainability, and fostering community collaboration, I believe that this project can contribute to a waterfront access solution that creates a positive and lasting impact on the community. Yours creatively, HM

Visual Diary 8

My instructional design team has two software options when it comes to authoring courses: Articulate Rise, which has a library of pre-programmed blocks that can be positioned linearly, and Articulate Storyline, which is a blank page that allows us to build custom, branching interactions with unique UI. Storyline is an incredibly powerful tool. But to be honest, we have a small team with a backlog of projects. The parameters around resources make the restrictions of Rise's parameters incredibly helpful. Fewer choices means we produce quality products faster. We reserve Storyline for projects that meet specific criteria around time, impact, and content.

Tonight, I am reminded there is a standard!

Not because I am in need of rules and regulations but because I know I need protecting and because I know I am worth the protection!

I am reminded of the patterns in my life...... My cup is not half empty, it is and always has been half full.

Do not conform to this world but change your mindset and be set apart.

What principles do you follow for your life? What patterns in your life do you need to change?

Borderlines, Parameters, Boundaries: They are needed for protection!!!!!

I am worth being kept safe. You are worth being kept safe!

We have purpose and are called to fulfill the purpose we were given by God.

People and things can cuff us! Sin Cuffs Us!

Cuffing is about control! No matter what it is whatever you are cuffed to it has the control over you! You can never be cuffed and be in control.

Success changes daily- do not let success control you.

Keep a clean closet, not organized by brands but by need.

We all are usually cuffed to something we love. We do this because we love how they or it make us feel, but the reality is the person or thing doesn't love you back.

Freedom is coming to God's people! God keeps us safe but culture cuffs us to crazy.

Remember the story of Samson. Your power can be stolen because of where you lay your head. Where do you lay your thoughts? Where do you comfortably lay your head?

Parameters do not have to make sense!!!!! You do not have to understand to obey. Obedience is not about outcomes it is about honor. Your ways are not my ways. Your thoughts are not my thoughts.

The greatest version of you is not the version that can do anything. But the greatest version of you is focused.
