This is mine.</p> <p>I&rsquo;ve been a backend engineer for a few years now, mostly working with Java and Spring Boot on large-scale systems. Along the way I&rsquo;ve accumulated a lot of notes, debugging steps, architectural decisions, AWS gotchas, the occasional frontend struggle. Most of them live in handwritten notes, Notepad++, Obsidian, and the occasional PlantUML or Mermaid diagram. I&rsquo;ve also shared some of these notes with colleagues on Teams, and sometimes on Slack.</p>
