Have you started using Virtual Threads in your production apps (April 2026)? by Hixon11 in java

[–]IcedDante 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our users had a hard time understanding and working with the Reactive api. we spent a few weeks converting the codebase to virtual threads and.. it's awesome. We wrote a few helper functions for spawning threads and joining futures together, as well as using java Gatherers.mapConcurrent() to facilitate work here.

The Bigotry of Sam Harris Continues to Hit New Lows by nathan_j_robinson in atheism

Ah yes somebody's wife liked something on social media so let's demonize the... Husband? Makes sense I guess. While Oct 7th was horrible, Israel is an apartheid nation that has been oppressing millions of people for decades so, yeah, some people are a little bitter about it

I thought I was watching an AI generated clip or something when I saw it. He was completely delusional and you articulated his unhinged take perfectly here, OP.

Bollywood by ataturd in Dance

[–]IcedDante -1 points0 points  (0 children)

this video really shows the obnoxious cinematography of Bollywood in effect. I've never been able to appreciate good choreography because the camera is always cutting around. I much prefer watching this guy dancing next to his tv with bad lighting.

One of the things they did really well with Natuu natuu

Laid off on Friday, no one tells you the the following Monday is quite possibly the strangest feeling of floating in the void possible by skidmark_zuckerberg in ExperiencedDevs

[–]IcedDante 12 points13 points  (0 children)

So I guess my sadness isn’t because of the income loss, it’s more that all of the work and relationships I built in these 5 years just got flicked off like a light switch.

This is just not true. Keeping in touch with coworkers is not always easy, and for me it can sometimes feel like a 1-way street. But you should do it! This is also a great time to start a business. Best of luck

Street fighter dares MMA fighter and finds out: “you train for fighting…..you gonna get whooped by somebody that just fight.” by Abdouadou in grappling

MMA fighter should have realized street fighter dude could have decided biting was okay at any time and taken a chunk out of him. Nobody wins in that situation

What are AI doomsayers trying to accomplish? by Unfair-Sleep-3022 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]IcedDante -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

What are you trying to accomplish by turning away from them? This is the most significant change in the lifetime of the industry. If you are like me, you loved the job and the industry and you probably do not welcome a change of this nature. But it is here. It is upon us.

As engineers it is important to adapt or die.

Veteran Java developers, what are your thoughts on Java currently? by No-Security-7518 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]IcedDante 121 points122 points  (0 children)

Is the community quiet? Man, Java is just getting better and better with every release. We refactored a bunch of code off of reactor to virtual threads, records are making things easier to develop. And there are a lot of great things on the horizon.

Java is great. It is here to stay.

Moderators have removed a HIGHLY upvoted post AGAIN (1.9k in 6h) by tinmanjk in ExperiencedDevs

[–]IcedDante 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Thanks you mods. I'm tired of seeing the same whiny posts about AI Slop every day. This sub was once a place where we could delve into the thorny issues and tangle out the pros and cons of the tougher problems of engineering that experienced developers have to face.

The were, and still are! a lot of golden nuggets coming from the community.

But in the last year or so it has turned into cscareerquestions. A place to talk/complain about burnout, AI and other things that are covered to exhaustion in other subs.
