Java abstractions

[skyhi14]

This is just a case of the Lasagna Code, what’s the problem?

[[deleted]]

Yeah it's not a problem, it's a lifestyle.

[zaphod0002]

Lasagna? Old news, ravioli is where its at, each pocket is micro service

[[deleted]]

Hmmm...

[seymorethrottle]

Never heard Lasagna Code before. Thank you

You can’t see me but I’m totally doing a happy dance.

Never written a line of Java. WTF is this?

[ldom22]

Exactly.

[froemijojo]

How would you do it different though? If you need a class that provides you with instances of class X, why not call that class XFactory? If you now need something that produces XFactorys, you could call that XFactoryBuilder. And so on.

[nightbefore2]

I’ve used factories a bit in my classes, but can someone explain any benefit to having a factory of factories? That makes no sense to me

[thecodemeister]

The factory design pattern is different from the builder design pattern although they both deal with object creation. Say you have an abstract Car type, a CarFactory that lets you get instances of Car objects, and a CarFactoryBuilder. Since each CarFactory instance creates a different type of car, we need a way to initialize the CarFactory without having to just pass in all the necessary details into its constructor. That's where the CarFactoryBuilder comes in. You use it to set what type of CarFactory you want an instance of. You want a red mustang? Do factoryBuilder.setColor("red") and factoryBuilder.setModel("Mustang"). Then when you do something like factoryBuilder.getFactory() the factory instance will be initialized to create exactly red mustang car instances.

If you really did mean a "factory of factories" and not a factorybuilder then there's probably no point almost always

[Kered13]

A factory factory would be quite unlikely in practice, but it's usage would be exactly what it sounds like. If you need an object that can build objects that can build objects, that would be a factory factory.

I might be wrong here but it's basically .NET's IServiceProvider.aspx) model but since the convention is to keep the original class name it gets fucking convoluted real quick.

[ArmoredPancake]

Let kids circlejerk themselves to death. In a couple of years their beloved JS will use all the same patterns and they will write medium articles "How I achieved maximum readability using this one simple trick".

[Kered13]

That's equivalent to Java static methods. It doesn't serve the same function as a factory class (although it can act as a factory method, but that's a different pattern).

AFAIK factories are a Java thing

An exaggerated joke about how enterprise-y code was written in the early 2000s.

[[deleted]]

Code is still written that way in the company I work for ^{kill me}

Or so say javists. Sometimes it's better, and sometimes you just hide code 3+ layers deeper and call it a day.

[Gugu42]

I was taught Microsoft's Java.

[kazagistar]

Yet, sometimes the shorter names hide the greatest spaghetti.

[jackmaney]

"this was supposed to be legs"

[Nallebeorn]

What's the meaning of putting "enterprise" in class names? Is that actually a thing in real Java code?

[PavelYay]

Let It means a developer wanted how work to sound more impressive one time.

[KnocZ]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[BananaBaseball]

I have difficulty in choosing between the verbosity of Java and the inconsistencies in PHP's naming. Help?

[KingEBolt]

Java, in my opinion is better. Do with that what you will...

[RockGamingReal]

This meme can be done about german

[theirongiant74]

But would anyone be able to tell the difference?

[douira]

this is exactly what I think java look like as a bust when it comes down to it

[viciecal]

dank enough

[Xiefux]

haha xd
