• Hexagonal Architecture/Ports And Adapters: Clarifying Key Concepts Using Go
  1 project | dev.to | 21 Mar 2024

  Historically, Ports and Adapters was born in the context where Dependency Inversion Principle (DIP) was getting hot, back in the beginning of the 2000’s. DIP was getting more present on development day to day, and an example of a framework that was a pioneer in such topic is Google Guice.

• Inversion of Control Containers and the Dependency Injection Pattern (2004)
  2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 21 Feb 2024

  “There are many advantages to using dependency injection, but doing so manually often leads to a large amount of boilerplate code to be written. Guice is a framework that makes it possible to write code that uses dependency injection without the hassle of writing much of that boilerplate code”

  This is a common misconception. Guice’s docs delineate between dependency injection as a pattern and Guice as a framework that supports that pattern.

• Why dependency injection?
  1 project | /r/java | 11 Apr 2023

  You can (and it's very normal to) use that with new. Dependency injection frameworks (like guice) let you skip passing long parameter lists to constructor arguments like you mention. But you don't really NEED that. They also will solve circular dependency issues and some other things, although a strong argument could be made that you should simply restructure your code so that those issues don't exist.

• Bob Lee, Former CTO Square, Creator of CashApp, Stabbed to Death in SF

  Bob was a nice guy. We had an overlapping tenure at Google in the 2000s. He was one of the original authors of the Guice dependency injection framework: https://github.com/google/guice. When I was earning Java readability at Google, I was fortunate to have had him assigned as a reviewer. Huge loss; he left a very positive impression on me.

  He was fairly well known figure in the Java world. RIP.

• Handling two contexts
  2 projects | /r/golang | 28 Mar 2023

  Usually each context has a different scope and lifetime associated with it. Here, it sounds like there are two distinct scopes: server and request (cf. how Guice models scopes: https://github.com/google/guice/wiki/Scopes). It is rarely sensible to merge the scopes or contexts together. If we think about a context, it contains several things:

• Dependency injection with AWS Lambdas in java
  4 projects | dev.to | 11 Feb 2023

  As said in the title, we will focus on the dependency inversion principle and one of its application : dependency injection. For production-ready applications, it would be better to rely on a framework and not implement its own container. For it, the java ecosystem have 3 frameworks available : Spring, Guice and Dagger.
