@intellijidea.com's splash screen today and for the whole week is celebrating something special!

जन्मदिन की बधाई, जावा! (Happy Birthday, Java!)

How would you wish Java a Happy Birthday in your native language?

#JavaJokeOfTheDay

When you scroll past:
@Validated
@Transactional
@SomeThrows
@Slf4j
@GettingOutOfHand
@ISwearThereIsAClassHereSomewhere

And find:
public void aMethod() { .. }

No XML. No boilerplate. It just works.
Annotations are Java’s spell book.

#JavaDukeShortStories

Tell me you are using @IntelliJIDEA, without saying so 😉

I'll start:
I try to use Alt+Enter (in vain) while using other applications, such as, Google docs.

#JavaJokeOfTheDay

Some Java methods be like:

validateUserInputAndSanitizeIfRequiredThenProceedToNextStepUnlessCancelled();

By the time you finish reading the method name, your IDE has already indexed the whole project.

#JavaDukeShortStories #MadeForEachOther ;)

AI might write code. New frameworks might trend every month.

But you can’t automate community — real people & friendships, JUG meetups, learning from each other, lots of fun and open-source magic.

Java’s true power = people. Always has been. Always will be ❤️

How is this: #JavaJokeOfTheDay

Generics in Java: <T extends Comparable<T>>

Looks like XML, acts like safety net.
Safety never looked so... pointy.

#JavaJokeOfTheDay

What’s Java’s Voldemort?
null. Say it once. Debug forever.

#JavaDukeShortStories

#JavaJokeOfTheDay

Random dev: “Two versions a year? Java’s moving too fast!”

Java: “You mocked me for being slow. Now you want training wheels?” Pick a lane — or stick around. Try the new features sooner… you’ll love it 💕.

#JavaDukeShortStories

The large amount of libraries in the Java ecosystem is a blessing, but developers should be careful when adding a dependency. Do risk-assessment, look at quality, maintainability, security,...
And especially: keep in mind todays JDK provide lots of stuff that in the past was in external deps only!

#JavaJokeOfTheDay

Why does Java use static typing?

Because assigning "hello" to an int shouldn’t be a runtime jump scare.

Java straps on a helmet before riding.
Others ride blindfolded, crash, and blame the road.

#JavaDukeShortStories

#JavaJokeOfTheDay

Why doesn’t Java have operator overloading?
Because chaos is not a feature.

#JavaDukeShortStories

Check out my blog post on how using Markdown for documentation comments could help the amazing libraries, tools, or frameworks you are creating :)

Should you change all existing code documentation to markdown? It depends :)

Details in the blog post.

#JavaJokeOfTheDay

Why do some people complain Java needs a ; at the end of a line?

Same reason they think pineapple 🍍 ruins pizza — they’re just bored.

Java’s busy working on better solutions than your semicolon feelings. 😉

#JavaDukeShortStories

#JavaJokeOfTheDay

Why do Java developers use a class literally named Unsafe?

Because it gives them raw, unchecked, low-level power. 💥
Sometimes, danger comes with speed.

We all do unsafe things in life.
At least Java warned us first. 😏

#JavaDukeShortStories

Here’s some #Maven dependency advice: if your source code imports a class then make sure its provider (the JAR file) is explicitly listed as a dependency.

DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT rely on the transitive closure of resolved dependencies.

If used, declare it.

You’ll thank me later.

#EclipseCollections has been in development for 21 years, with 10 years @eclipsefdn.bsky.social. I wrote a book about the library and many lessons I've learned after 35 years of coding. Counting down the next 10 years evolving and growing in OSS w/ #Java. 👍🙏

#JavaJokeOfTheDay

What happens when you run 20-year-old Java code?

It runs. Simple.
Other languages drop support, break things, and call it “progress.”

Some age like milk. Java? Like enterprise wine. 🍷
