The quickest way to get a team of 10 contractors to turn 100 lines of basic code from a decent engineer into 2k, with 50 janky vulnerable dependencies, that needs to be babied with customized ide's and multi-minute+ build times and 60m long recorded meetings.

Fuck Spring.

They can do that in any season

Ok, you win! 😁 😂

Wouldn't want to write a webserver / database connection / scheduler / etc. from scratch. Spring Boot plus lombok turns 2k lines of code into 100.

... Looks both ways...

Python does the same in 10 lines of code.

... Ducks under a table to avoid the ensuring flames ...

I replaced the P in my LAMP stand with Python and I've never been happier.

Same here.

They say he's still ducking to this day

[–] MajorHavoc 3 points 6 months ago

Yep. That's why we call it "duck typing" in Python.

Sure... That"s what libraries are for. No one hand-rolls that stuff. You can do all of that just fine (and, actually, in a lot less code, mostly because Java is so fucking verbose) without using the nightmare that is Spring.

Fuck Spring.

Actually, there's a lot to be said for being able to configure your spleamtomoter without needing to reverse the polarity on the stack cache rotator arm.

I'm kidding.

Fuck Spring.
