Go ahead and ban me if this isn’t allowed lol

Inspired from Unreal Engine 5. Built from scratch using Java swing and Graphics2D. It has basic operations like loops, delays, branch logic, variables, arithmetic and boolean gate operations!

I created and abandoned this long back ago (took me around 5 months to make this) , decided to share a more complete version of the App, let me know if you have any thoughts or questions!

[EDIT: can't change the title now. I don't mean everything is fine, there's still a conv to have, I just meant the memes and vitriol and honestly kinda silly games being played, e.g. people like just posting my name over and over, etc.]

I appreciate the support, but I didn't begin to imagine the degree of both generalized and specific mod-hatred I would unleash.

Please remember that being a mod is a shit job, and that confirmation bias / availability bias are a thing: we are usually completely unaware of all the good things mods do. If we're actually interacting with a mod, someone's having a bad day.

Please give it a rest now!

(This message is 100% my own words, no one asked me to say anything.)

EDIT: I'm just asking for us to 1. let it cool off, 2. have then only a constructive discussion about whether anything can be improved.

I have to head to the airport soon so I may be absent today. Again, can we please let it cool off a bit. I wouldn't mind getting to participate in any real discussion that happens...

EDIT: also bear in mind the mod was reacting to multiple user reports that were lodged on my comments. Not saying that changes everything, but it's context.

EDIT: Some imho harmless levity to make you smile. Stuart Marks is a boss and I don't think anyone picked up on it. Squint at it, tilt your head at it...

I'm a senior Java Developer, but in all of my projects I never had to use any frameworks like Spring, Kafka, Hibernate. Never worked with NoSQL, didn't configure K8S, haven't worked with AWS. And I've worked on 5 big projects, but none of them required any of these frameworks

Now I'm looking for a new job, and every project I see requires these frameworks. Obviously, since I don't have experience with them, I'm not passing any interviews, and in some cases I'm not even getting interviews.

What should I do?

Edit: A few people saying "Kafka is not a framework". I know. Sometimes when I type text, I don't doublecheck and I just collect everything when I list things

Edit 2: My hard skills are better than my soft skills

I'm an old guy, working on a new team of young guys, and the young guys are in charge.

It turns out that using for loops are now terrible awful nasty things to be avoided at all costs.

Everything must be streams and maps -- and bonus points if you can write your block of code in one single giant statement that spans many lines. Apparently semi-colons are also in short supply.

But ... when in Rome.

When did this happen? And why?

Hello,
I’m planning a 1-month motorbike trip across Java, from the far west to the far east. I’m looking for authentic, non-touristy experiences:

• Waterfalls & forests

• Volcanoes & hikes

• Beaches & reefs

• Local food & cultural experiences

Can you recommend some hidden gems? Thank you!
