I personally appreciate Java (and the JVM) much more after having tried other languages/ecosystems that people kept saying were so much better than Java. Instead, I just felt like …

You can do AOT compilation with GraalVM to reduce both startup times and memory usage, but then you don't have the JIT.

The actual jobs and networking aspect is fine imo, but I loathe the feed/content, even the SWE-related stuff is a lot of times bad or clickbaity. I hide the feed + sidebar with a u…

Oh wow this is the first time I've read about this. Did you wake up frequently during the night or were there any other signs? I have somewhat of a deviated septum, and even had su…

Yep, I've only started using Swift a couple of months ago, but Xcode just isn't pleasant to use imo (though I'm probably spoiled by Jetbrains' IDEs), and the Swift extension for VS…
