Lmao ok ill just follow best practices and end up inadvertently writing an orm from scrach then πββοΈ
Hating on Lombok and setters simultaneously seems contradictory.
Wow, the only one I agree with here is MongoDB (and probably Lombok, I don't write Java), and that has more to do with their licensing issues than anything technical.
That's pretty impressive.
Here's my list:
- no-go list of languages - Java, PHP, Ruby, C++ (unless you absolutely need C++ for some domain)
- OOP - OOP should be isolated, not forced on every problem; many OOP advocates are dogmatic about injecting it everywhere
- waterfall - screw that noise, faster to market + faster feedback is generally better
That's really it, and I'm totally willing to mentor someone who likes the above if they're otherwise a good developer.
If you had to write Java you probably would like Lombok if you dislike boilerplate (it can build object constructors, comparators, and field accessor methods via annotation).
Java is boilerplate though. It's finally getting almost tolerable with static imports, arrow functions/lambdas (whatever Java calls it), etc.
If I had to write Java, I'd push for Kotlin instead, after failing to convince management that there are much better options for the problem they need to solve.
You can say youβre running Java and write components in Kotlin or Scala, no one knows after the module is published!
Ideal situation: single guy working from home, no pets. Neighbors describe him as "pretty quiet" or "I dunno."
In an effort to make the post full of engagement bait, the dude ironically made it less engaging.
Remove every bullet point except Lombok, and you got yourself a proper flame war.
Whatever this guy supposedly architects, it ain't software.
NGL I was on board at the first line. He lost me quickly after though
He didnβt rule out BASIC so he good in my books.
Ew...
Thatβs: 10 PRINT βEw...β

Golang outside of infrastructure
What does that even mean?
Golang is petty slow with a GUI I've found, a web UI works well but GTK or something like that is slow. Maybe that's what he means?
He wants all his infrastructure to be pure golang.
I read it to mean that he believes Golang should only be used for infrastructure and nothing else.
This is an assumption based on a structure of: if you [insert dot point] then we ain't cool.
Allthough I only rarely exclude anyone from anything for any reason, I suppose one addition I would make to a list of mental farts I use to elevate myself, would be: people who communicate their ideas like a PowerPoint and expect to convey real meaning.
What I find crazy about X, is that even though it's owned by Musk, a lot of Americans are quietly and conveniently ignoring it. People are losing their shit over Tesla and then posting about it on X.
I watched a YouTube video the other day where the presenter, who is a full time politically left content creator, was sharing his screen and discussing a Bernie Sanders X post, from within his own X account. It's crazy.
Why anyone is still on that burning pile of trash, I will never understand. I mean, if you want to say anything longer than 280 characters long, you have to pay a premium. This is the opposite of 'free' speach.
Peace!
