Not just you! I’m looking for the link as well, and looks like it’s just an image.

Interesting - my company largely maxing out at Java 9, I often forget about how far Java has come now that it’s working on v21 😳

Same here. I’m a Tech Lead right now, but I still live in the code. I see myself as on-trajectory to Architect. I have no direct-reports or any of the responsibilities they go with direct-reports. That role is called a Team Lead at my company (which is on-trajectory for management). I stay at from that stuff like the plague 🤮

I am so incredibly intrigued by this! This might sound like a dumb question, but are there any examples of what this looks like hosted on GitHub? My employer mandates GitHub as a standardized location for enterprise code. So I’m curious if there’s a way to live in both worlds at once and not go mad.

Couldn’t agree more. We used Crucible as a code reviewing tool, which allowed us to develop directly on main while being able to pick-and-choose commits to add to a review. This closed that CI gap for us in a meaningful way.

However, Crucible seems to be reaching end of life (my company even denied renewal of licenses for it). So now we’re forced back into Gitflow, and it’s sooooo painful.

Is it worth considering Spring (and/or Spring Boot) as its own slice? I could see arguments for and against it… Any fellow Java devs have strong feelings one way or another?

Ok, I’m gonna do it. I can already hear the banter 🫣
