Kotlin is the wave of the future. I still use Java, but I’m transitioning into using Kotlin for backend services. The devs are my work have been moving the app codebase to Kotlin for a couple of years (over a million lines) and it’s pretty nice. You reduce a lot of boilerplate and the code can be a bit more dense.

Mostly I’m just tired of smoothbrains complaining about the president when they are probably doing jack shit to change FPTP voting at their local, county and state levels. I know for some folks sarcasm doesn’t come across too clearly on the Internet.

That’s why I’m shifting to voting for Republicans. Only one way to accelerate the enshittification of politics and that’s by electing religious nutcases that will enforce their system on everyone.

I too welcome our next Republican overlord.

I’ll be honest, I still haven’t figured out how to properly replace my POJOs with records. I tried a few weeks ago (17) and it was definitely not a plug n play situation. I don’t remember exactly the friction I ran into but I quickly abandoned it in favor of POJOs to get a POC done. I need to revisit it and see what the issue was. I think it was field accessibility or something like that.

To build on this:

• Micrometer to measure performance of potentially complex code
• BeanRunner to test POJOs without writing much code.

I almost feel sorry for the mindless twits still using that platform.
