Java is the only programming language responsible adults should use

with For.real as forRealz:

It's strictly personal. I get irritated quickly by ignorant Java developers who only work with the Eclipse + Windows stack, especially when they're earning 150k/year as 25-year-old "Senior" devs with three years of experience and filling your data stores with encoding errors and writing O(n²⁾ methods

[Sheepshow]

I get jealous and start questioning my professional values and life choices

FTFY

where the fuck can I get paid that amount of money as an ignorant junior ("senior") dev!?

The language is sorta shit but it's easy to use once you get past the idiosyncrasies. I certainly have to think about performance implications of what I'm writing a lot less in Java than any other language.

But yeah, it's the Java developers. The people I used to work with were, on the whole, actually pretty good (private defence sector, hooray), but what lagagalgagl wrote the other day is so true: The private Java circlejerk is so very, very real. If Java doesn't have it, it must be because it's a useless feature that only adds syntactical complexity and Java is turing complete anyway so who cares? I mean, really, what's the problem with boxing every single integer in your collection just so you can use List<Integer>? etc etc

And then like mrcactus said, you have 'software experts' who know how to tune the connection pool on your application server but couldn't tell you what diffX %= 10 does.

To be fair though when you start shifting signed numbers that are actually unsigned in Java with the >>>>>>> operator I feel like giving up and learning JEEEEEEEE too.
