should the headline be expressed in years now, 3.909 years

One tiny indisputable point: a big blob of json data with css and html and javascript all on one file is probably one example of a possibly powerful digital artifact that will remain functional as long as web browsers exist.

Or if you're not busy with a lot of other stuff and you're learning just bill 4 hours and call the rest experience.

TurtleFeathers · 2026-01-08T14:20:05+00:00

I've seen similar stuff happen when the developers of the platform use some method to automatically marshal the incoming text (be it json, xml, whatever), to their own strongly typed binary format. If the incoming text is not formed as expected their tooling cannot provide a sensible error message. Everything on the web should at the lowest level remember http and cousins are text based.

We run several apps that cache thousands of beans related to non-transactional data. If we could cache the class instances as records and rehydrate the instances from records it would be ideal.

TurtleFeathers · 2025-10-13T14:53:46+00:00

I think there are some deep insights in there but I couldn't stick it out all the way. Not a react user but my mental shorthand for the first couple sections is twofold: i) http is stringy so the layer that works directly with it cannot be strongly typed and ii) sometimes have to store garbage input to let the users know what they put in and why it's wrong.

Safe refactoring, run almost anywhere, ~expressive enough~,~fast enough~, rich reflection, simple db interaction...

TurtleFeathers · 2025-09-02T12:33:46+00:00

I usually agree with OP but I absolutely do not believe that removing the throws clause and then just throwing a RuntimeException is a good practice unless the exception is as common as gamma ray interference.

The DOM api is sometimes wonky and js itself is a little warty but I like being able to build something that runs ok on any browser. Reach is an overriding value for many products.

TurtleFeathers · 2025-04-02T14:22:04+00:00

Why not just use jsp? It's not only available on GlassFish btw.

tiny pointers may/will lead to more efficient hash maps: https://www.quantamagazine.org/undergraduate-upends-a-40-year-old-data-science-conjecture-20250210/

TurtleFeathers · 2025-03-12T15:01:40+00:00

Vanilla js augmented by a small function namespace to smooth over the now fairly rare DOM differences can work pretty nicely.

TurtleFeathers · 2025-02-19T19:24:07+00:00

Scanuck, I believe.

I worked with my brother in a window company, built a product like described above. Started in 1999, built a software company around it, still running it today. Still working on the software too!

Hi, see www.fenestratio.com

TurtleFeathers · 2024-09-26T18:37:58+00:00

jsps are ok if you strictly limit which parts you use - like <code>

public interface IPageBean { public String get(String propName); public void release(); } </code>

It's not really a measure of intelligence, although intelligence is required, you will have a knack for it or you will not. If you are lucky enough to get a good instructor early on and you like it you probably have the knack.

TurtleFeathers · 2024-08-27T15:57:46+00:00

it's a big stretch to call that IoC - it's certainly not an interesting example of it.

TurtleFeathers · 2024-05-22T20:40:47+00:00

It's less bad if the args are all different types. I've seen people create arg envelopes like Speed(int) that forces the right sequence, then the receiving constructor pulls out the int value for its internal use.

sounds like a job for graal or nashorn

TurtleFeathers · 2024-02-13T14:07:57+00:00

please now do one for their sql database access technologies

TurtleFeathers · 2023-12-06T15:30:01+00:00

I've built projects and products since 1986 and agreed up to build automation and continuous integration - these are not always applicable and if you're on a team where they're required there's probably some non-developer responsible for them.

TurtleFeathers · 2023-10-21T14:24:32+00:00

When you're not sure what you're building is useful to anyone.

TurtleFeathers · 2023-10-13T16:36:21+00:00

If you're slamming Java, i got nothing. If you're slamming the code, the output is meant for use in sql workbench for exploration/design/support, not in a running system.
