A few months back, a new guy joined our team and the Java world after a few years of being a .NET programmer. He had many reactions like, “What, you need to write that yourself in Java? In .NET, the compiler does it for you!”

It’s true that, in Java, the language and conventions drive you to write a non-negligible amount of low-value code. But don’t fear! Lombok aims at simplifying that task for you.

Last year, I wrote a post to propose an open source alternative to ready-to-use password managers like LastPass, 1Password and so on. Something that you would host yourself, so that you would remain in control of your sensitive data.

A few weeks back, I reviewed code from a young developer. It was impressive work for a topic he didn’t know beforehand, except on one aspect: every output used System.out.println(). That’s understandable: that’s how Java developers learn to code, just like Python developers do their first tests with print. But that’s not something that’ll be handy for a live application.
