So many ways to respond to this that I should write a blog. But let’s start with: Languages: JVM is way more than Java. If you want modern, use Kotlin. If you want bleeding edge FP, use Scala or Flix. Or use Clojure or Ruby or Python or whatever on the JVM. Native: GraalVM Native Image, Kotlin Native, Scala Native, etc can get you to native if you need faster startup and smaller binaries. Ecosystem: 3 Top 15 Programming languages natively on the JVM, continuous growth and innovation in the tools and libraries ecosystem. For example, Effect Oriented Programming is a huge step forward for creating reliable, testable, composable systems - and in mainstream platforms, Scala has been the primary place for this innovation. JVM: 2 major releases a year with continual significant improvements like Loom, making a very common scaling problem (blocking idle threads) trivial to deal with. Also performance improvements just happen with no need to do anything except bump the JVM version. Job market: Employers can always find Java developers. Pay rates across JVM languages are great. Universities teach Java, Kotlin, and Scala. I’m sure there are many other reasons as well, but all of this feels nothing like COBOL.

For the love of all that is holy, when sharing example code listings, add the imports of all the used types. Having to guess where shown types are coming from is such as source of frustration, in particular if you are new to learning a library or language.

There's an idea called "Semantic Diffusion", that ideas become broadened, altered, or diluted over time. One of my ideas that caught on is the idea of a "Deployment Pipeline". I meant something quite specific but it has come to mean something else... 1/14 #Thread

I saw @t3dotgg video about open source HE IS 100% RIGHT and it's much worse than we can imagine I'm a recent OSS developer, but I've seen many institutions forcing their students to contribute to OSS projects just to show off on their GitHub profiles, making them "hirable" 1/7

Tell me one reason, one single reason, why you are not running your Java code on the latest available JDK. Tell me one reason, one single reason, why you are not upgrading your JDK version IN PRODUCTION every 6 months.

@CESCLimited Thank you for your response. Shared the details. Please check your inbox.

@asifkmalick Dear Sir, We appreciate you reaching out to us and apologize for the inconvenience caused to you. We request you to please share your Consumer Number along with your contact details with us. Thank you for your cooperation! Regards, Songram Team CESC Limited

Dear @CESCLimited your online application processes are so flawed. Its not designed/implemented keeping the end user in mind. It has several usalbility issues. User's don't get to validate/check the status of their submitted applications online.

The reason doesn't make any sense at all as I had uploaded the correct UID. I am still not able to figure out the reason for my application being rejected. Could you explain what exactly needs to be done at my end.

Instead they have to call the customer care to get the Application Reference Number, when you could have just SMSed or Emailed it to the user. The web form is so vague and ambiguous. My application was rejected twice citing "UID uploaded is incorrect or insufficient".

@PropelldEduFin Your customer care number + 91 7375911702 isn't reachable. Every time either the call gets disconnected or says switched off.

@Apollo24x7 Thank you for your response. Consultation finally started at 23:23. I do not wish to escalate this further. The Physician was very kind and compassionate. But honestly you should consider changing your Twitter handle from Apollo24x7 to Apollo12x7. Stay blessed.

@asifkmalick Awaiting your response for the above mentioned query raised by you, please help us with the details so we can assist you in resolving your query at the earliest.

@Apollo24x7 I booked for a video consultation at 21:49 IST. Was told by team to wait for sometime. It's 23:04 now. Have been continuously pinging them. Still no response from them. Can't reschedule either as that got disabled eventually. Raised concern to Support. No response.

The real tragedy is no other slots are available for today.
