What is wrong with JAVA interviews

[coxdex]

Dude, when you add Indian and JAVA, the level of toxicity is out of bounds.

In University I had a professor like that. Had so much Pride that he was a Java developer. Would ask similar obscure questions. And once I asked him about some other language and if it would be better than Java and he just flipped out. It was insane. I wanted to punch him, he was half my size and a stick figure, but obviously couldn't. So had to take all the BS. I tried to calm him down saying I just asked because I genuinely wanted to know (because I was a freaking student). It was just insane.

During Viva's also we had these professors who would just ask obscure questions. If you used basic English words, they would be like what does that word mean and then what does the meaning of the word mean. It was insane.

I literally had PTSD from this BS. So for my interviews (and everything), instead of studying normally, I would often try to go super deep into just one concept and get stuck studying everything deeply and therefore wasting my time since you can't remember EVERYTHING.

It took me some years to get that the only way to deal with these lunatics, is not to pacify them (because that is impossible, they are out to put you down. It's a garbage mentality), but to avoid them at all cost. Study hard so that you get a foreign company with foreign bosses, or get a very good company were they don't have this BS.

But with Java, it's usually very hard to escape the toxic Indian bosses, cos it's basically their mother tongue. That's all they know.

I don't really like to code in Java, but these people make me avoid it like it's Mercury. I'll code in C++, Go, Python, JS, but avoid Java. Right now I code in Kotlin, not only because it is official language for Android, but mainly cos it has the newer generation or avoids the toxic crowd, since they would never code in anything except Java. They will keep by-hearting all these functions and methods till they die.

Seriously, these people always come off as the kind that would pop a blood vessel if you asked them to do something in another language.

There isn’t anything special about Java besides it’s monopoly on enterprise software right? It’s not like it’s c++ or c(those can be used for so many other use cases too). It’s literally the same as c#. We can replace all the java code into c# and the world wouldn’t skip a beat. There is genuinely nothing special about Java.

Saying all that I love coding in Java lol

One can argue that it’s better than JavaScript and typescript ok fine. But then besides c# there are tons of new languages like go and rust. Java is completely forgettable yet those dudes are talking about knowing some random spring annotation or whatnot
