It was #Quarkus that did this before apparently, kudos to them!

Including Gorman's second law?

Artisanal programming!

I do the same but cross my fingers during "Run tests"

Shouldn't be a surprise. A lot of *people* write "good enough" code for a living without a bigger picture in mind.

It feels like they started the migration unprepared and encountered the consequences. Having to opt-in on extensions (health, kafka) isn't a bad thing

There's a lot of truth in there

For me only Jackson is a no-brainer for anything that needs JSON parsing. Keeping up with library releases costs time too

The time gained by the person generating code is largely compensated by the time lost during reviewing/refactoring

Really interesting, I might change to the var-side after seeing this 😀
About Optional, how do you express the difference between:
- value is there
- value explicitly set to null
- value is missing

The Valhalla video isn't showing and the homelab link isn't correct. Besides that, it's a fine list of resources once again. Thanks!

The effort you put in is very much appreciated!

I like to add the mvn-jlink-wrapper to execute the cache-jdk goal. It's helpful for reproducible builds.

Every time I write my name in an email, Outlook turns it into "Tomorrow" 🙃

Interesting link and it looks like a good blog overall!

The one thing that bothers me is that the DTO-suffix has no value. If the class represents something meaningful, that should be reflected in its name. An alternative I like to use is an interface instead of the DTO and constructors with an interface argument instead of mapper classes.
