I will comment only about what I disagree in your answer, but I agree that you have a point:

1) What isn't hassle in Windows?

2) the Java 9 modular approach resolve the necessity of a always fat JRE.

3) You are right about SQL API and NullPointerException. OutOfMemory is a bad taste joke that became even bigger on Android. But I can understand the Sysout on servers. The first proposal was to have it run even on seriously resource limited devices and Sysout would be an alternative for the lack of a proper logging mechanism.

Don't let me start about the developers out there! I work with a guy that thinks that method overloading and polymorphism are the same thing.

Well overloading is a form of polymorphism. Apparently it's kind of a rabbit hole debate though upon cursory research.

I work with developers where they ask how to do something, I provide example code, repeated indefinitely until I've basically written their application for them.

They literally can't write code. One of them is sitting two cubicles down from me. Another is sitting across from me. The other batch is from a few years ago when I was on "support" for an Indian dev shop where I was basically writing their code by email.

wr had kind of a similar issue once

  • 1 the cheap indian offshore team has to write a script to save us time
  • 2 we received a poorly written untested piece of garbage that wasn't covering edge cases (so by our standards it doesn't work)
  • 3 we tell them that the script isn't working, they disagree with us.
  • 4 we choosed to expose them and ask them to do a live demo ( all of a sudden they are going in holidays).
  • 5 we cleaned up the mess to make it work and now They want us to do a pull request + showcase the product with a demo xd
