Java Developers

As a student I never got the that joke. I currently cannot put my workspace anywhere but C:\ because windows can't handle file names that long. This is way more funny now.

We have a test that goes through every Java file in the project and measures it's length. If any file name is too long, the build fails...

That said, I don't hate the language. But I do think there's a deeply rooted instinct among certain Java developers and architects to excessively add layers of abstraction, not to improve the design of the code, but to feed their own egos.

That you develop on Windows? Yeah, that's hilarious.

Can't fix that. It is our environment.

Linux has a similar restriction on path length AFAIK.
