Personally I would just use SDKMan & generate a Maven or Gradle build profile from a getting started page of Spring, Vert.x, Quarkus (or whatever library/framework your main work will be on).. . Many of them have interactive start

I've worked in projects where change was expected, so a policy of strict integration testing was introduced - test that treat the system as a black box and aren't aware of its internal structure (to a point, there is always some c

Please don't write your own. Last time I checked there was just an astounding number of static site generators in every imaginable technology. Why do people write & publish this thing over and over again, surely it's been done

People here have trouble with names, but for a Slavic language speaker like myself, the names are one of the best parts. Even if I don't speak Russian, names like "Razkolnikov" ooze his indecisiveness. And the characters the

Indeed - I'll take "try, don't be afraid to fail" over "oh just stop, you're embarrassing yourself" any day. You will embarrass yourself.. what are we, 13 again?

First let me say that any corruption admitted to in those recordings should be prosecuted immediately, no question about it. But really, the admissions were really nothing much, I'm actually surprised that's all they got. The form

He ended up on React because it just works and doesn't change all the time. Now both my React and .NET times are some way behind me, but I'd definitely say it's the other way around..

Both ASCIIdoc and reStructured text are older and better (subjective, of course), yet Markdown still won. Happens sometimes, nothing to see, I've moved on (with just a little grumbling). Now I often can't remember their syntaxes

Well, no. I mean something I can stick in my actual code to ensure it matches the spec, be it through validation, strongly typed interfaces, unit tests or some other mechanism. Also, while a nice API document is a godsend (and sadly often m

For my language I've been using a US layout with a similar alteration for years as well on Windows and Linux: AltGr+C = Č, and AltGr+V = Ć (the second one is much less common, basically only used for writing names). Similar for Š, Ž an

That's not true. You can use those cookies, you just need to explain them somewhere on the site. No opt in required. I talked with our then national information law official (funny fact, same person is currently president of our countr

Ridley Scott can be terrible with stories (or picks projects with poor stories), as long as individual scenes are great. I've had trouble watching some of his work to their end, there was just so much WTF and random stuff. His name on
