  • That’s terrible. I noticed that there is a certain type of programmer. Normally they went to Uni in the late 90s or early 2000s and their entire education was focused around Java.

    They went out to get a job writing “Enterprise” Java for 10 years.

    This programmer then tries to learn another language, but because all they know is Java everything ends up looking like and structured as Java.

    I’ve seen this developer over and over again. It’s possible for them to overcome Java Brain but it’s rare.

    I bet one of these types of programmers is or was the technical lead of that project.

    I noticed something similar when I worked on a Scala project in the past. Yes I know we’re on the JVM, but we don’t need a data deconstructor factory when flatmap is right there.
