We're both senior devs, I use nodeJS/Python. Stop forcing your Java *superiority* shit on me. I can write the API using either language. Also fuck your JVM. FUCK THAT SHIT

Even tho java>anything, it really doesnt matter when it comes down to an api, i usually write those in php lmao

Although I agree with you would it not be better from a business perspective if you standardised your approach?

Otherwise you're increasing the knowledge requirements for the role and restricting potential recruitment.

@LynxMagnus well, our team handles a variety of projects. I'm the nodejs/python guy, he's strictly java. I kinda know my way around java so I can back him up a little bit. Thing is, the specs for the current project requires websockets and me having experience with them before suggested that we can use nodejs since I have a reusable module we can probably customize. Thing is he doesn't have experience with websockets. So...

Makes sense and agree there should be a compromise between best for long term and best for the current situation. Just a thought ☺️
