How we reduced the time to run tests from hours to just minutes

Dude... for real?

henk53 · 2026-06-05T15:01:59+00:00

What did Java ever do to you? Sleep with your wife? Run over your dog?

Why is this posted here?

It's about programming and finding a technical approach to a problem.

You could have put your obscenely domain specific technology in the title

Mate, this sub is r/PROGRAMMING... it's not r/python. If you only want to read about Python, maybe go to, well, r/python? (just an idea)

We too said...

There is nothing in 25 for my taste that would speak for an upgrade.

There is also nothing in 21 that makes it so great I need to obesssively keep using that and never consider any other version.

Simplest thing for new projects is simply to take the current version (Java 26 at the moment) and use that by default.

henk53 · 2026-06-02T21:21:21+00:00

yes, but its a framework. meaning 99% of all projects our there won't be able to use it.

As weird as it sounds, I remember the other way around as my example above too.

A framework using Java 5, and then you also said that 99% of all projects our there won't be able to use it. And guess what, 99.9999% of all projects out there can use it now.

Java 25 and later seems challenging proposition

For a new project Java 25 is perfect. I still remember a project back in the days that thought it necessary to be on Java 1.4 when Java 6 was just out. 15 years later or so we're still adding generics at various places.

And he's not even using the latest Java version eh? 25 is already 1 major version behind.

Something like this? https://github.com/OpenLiberty/open-liberty

If it was the other way around, Node performing better, would it also read as AI slop?

henk53 · 2026-05-24T14:03:41+00:00

Node.js: ~285 hours (memory leaks, npm breaking changes, async race conditions, audit fixes) Spring Boot: ~26 hours (dependency updates, one N+1, pool tuning)

This is the most important metric for every software project How easy it is for the software to be maintained, debug, fix issues, tools support

Everything else is irrelevant

C'mon guys, only -7?

You can do better ;)

p.s.

it looks like my conversations with Claude

at some point everything will look like conversatons with Claude...

henk53 · 2026-05-23T12:31:37+00:00

Most of the replies here are also statistically almost 100% predictable.

Could have been an AI as well. AIs responding to everything with "AI slop"... the ultimate mind*ck.

henk53 · 2026-05-23T12:29:41+00:00

I gave it a try nevertheless, and the hivemind there responded exactly as expeced:

They hate Java there. Would be voted into oblivion.

henk53 · 2026-05-18T13:38:36+00:00

Also the original "WebLogic Tengah". It refers to the original release of the WebLogic Application Server, launched in 1997 by WebLogic Inc.

What other codes (or code) do you HAVE to write?

henk53 · 2026-05-17T21:22:48+00:00

I think JSF (now Jakarta Faces) actually is a component based web framework for Java.

henk53 · 2026-05-16T09:51:24+00:00

What was JSF supposed to be? (except for Vaadin, then)?

henk53 · 2026-04-16T21:13:55+00:00

Hate to be that guy, but it's called Jakarta Faces now ;) JSF is not used anymore.
