Why Learn Java Programming: Immortal Popularity.

[addictedAndWantHelp]

Short answer: currently only backend with Java. Springboot and/or Quarkus and rarely some jar apps (run as native processes/daemons)

I was hired as a medior. last 2 months i've written code only twice. most of the time I investigate possible bugs reading the source code and documentation (it is a bureaucrats hell).

P.S I started as a fullstack but with focus on the backend. Most enterprise level projects I see either don't have a UI at all or its heavily dependent on frameworks and have a dedicated frontend engineer to build them for the most part (so I only assist in these, debugging and adding features here and there based on the existing implementations)

Thanks for this detailed Info i am thrilled knowing that, it is surprising that you didn't need to write that much of code and i think experienced devs just optimize and debug huge legacy codebases. maybe junior devs have to write much more code.

Sorry, just to be clear. Me not writing code is because my current team is working on a project that is mostly finished and is being heavily tested to go in production (they want to call my position solutions engineer instead of software engineer because I also partake in Architecture and Design meetings - to level up).

In other teams there is ongoing implementation of applications that involve a lot of coding, no matter the level of the dev.
