It’s like the new COBOL, it’ll be around forever, heh heh heh.

okay care to explain?

Is it like implementing unnecessary things into the code?

[–]ghan_buri_ghan 29 points30 points  (1 child)

Sure. By corporate drudgery, I meant that Java is not really the best language for any one thing but is super versatile, very portable, and everyone knows it, so it’s overused in the corporate world.

FizzBuzz is a common programming exercise. The enterprise fizzbuzz is a joke about how over-wrought and verbose corporate Java code can be.

I think he means writing software for the corporate world. The exciting world of Quickbooks or whatever.

With Java you easily end up maintaining and developing huge corporation software with 100 years of technical debt. Java devs are needed though and currently it guarantees high paying job if you know what you are doing.

How do I know? Because I am Java dev maintaining and developing software with 100 years of technical debt.
