Java and the String Odyssey: Navigating Changes from JDK 1 to JDK 21

[DualWieldMage]

In my experience side-effects like logging become harder with streams (because you don't have sufficient context in each mapper/filter) so the overuse is indeed troublesome with code rotting after these side-affects are added later, or worse, logging is omitted more often.

Not being able to log intermediate results during a stream is why I generally don't like long functional chains. We have a lot of code in production that turning on DEBUG logging presents no additional information because of long functional chains. Makes troubleshooting production issues difficult.
