In reality lots of developers are not even good at what they claim to specialize in.

I mean javascript is java right? It’s in the name

My problem is with semantic whitespace

While Java js definitely one of the best, it still has some quirks that you need to know about.

Yep, that’s the one I was paraphrasing, thanks for the exact quote

“AI” is just another productivity tool, copilot let’s you remove some of the tedious patterned work you do, like writing all those asserts in Unit tests, it’s decent at guessing html structures too.

So basically it makes a developer faster, but then so do stuff like a good IDE, good plugins for your workflow, etc.

i saw somewhere an interesting take, even if AI could generate all the code for all the edge cases, you’d still need people to translate what business wants for the AI to understand properly.

Writing code is already a small part of a developers job, completely eliminating it won’t eliminate a developers job.

Google used to better than ddg like a year ago, now it’s almost completely unusable for development and I find myself going back to ddg and actually finding what I want instead of some unrelated nonsense, ads and LLM output crap

This deserves to be added to the list of human rights violations

What’s the issue with public static main?

And whats the issue with factories? Factories are a design pattern thats not specific to Java, I’d recommend you read the design patterns book and understand why they exist. I also have 0 factory useage stuck in my mind and I have been developing with java since 2016.

OOP? It’s an OO language ffs, that’s like complaining that C isn’t OO. If you don’t want to use an OO language don’t use one.

how much code you need to generate for some basic stuff

Do you mean verbosity because thats only a complaint for people who dont need to maintain stuff long term. Or maybe you misused java for doing something simple where python would have sufficed.

And then there is the springboot framework that makes shit trivial

No offense but I have never seen a good developer complain about java.

You will just switch to one of the openjdk implementations

What an ignorant take, lmao

what’s it called when you try to be aware of this and inadvertently say stuff that comes off as condescending, umm, asking for a friend

we will just rename them to orphans and then all of a sudden they won’t give a fuck.

So, to my example of critical, important infrastructure of government and banking running on Java, your reply is, youtube and instagram.

That’s lit mate, no cap, frfr. (Sorry I am not that familiar with your gen’s slang)

No, it’s a script

How is it not relevant? This is my comment you are replying to

It’s not a fad, it’s just unusable for anything other than research project and small time scripting, which to be fair, it’s what it’s designed for.

Yeah calculations, not actual software… how is this hard to understand… you don’t write long lived, stable software that multiple developers work on that needs to do real work in python

If you dont know the difference between software and script I am not sure I can explain it to you…

With how shit youtube is I am not sure you made a great case for python mate.

And every major tech company is using Python in their offline data pipelines

Thats a meaningless statement, ETL tools can execute python as part of a multi step process and then yeah they use python in their data pipeline, but the ETL tool that orchestrates it is which is the actual value add software is not written in Python it’s written in Java, I know this for a fact…
