The first dev in it's natural habitat.

I just f*cking hate front-end. I don't care what it looks like as long as it's working how it should.

Back in college, we were assigned a group of 3 other students to complete a duplicate of a current popular site. My team received Kijiji, a Canadian ad listing platform similar to Craigslist/eBay. This was to be done with JSP and JavaEE. We had to create a 30 minute presentation to go along with it.

Fairly simply, except we had one week. As I worked 2 jobs at the time, I typically left my college work to the last minute. Initially, we split up the work, myself taking 50% of the code and splitting the rest between the other 3. I was perfectly okay with this, until the night of the last day, they messaged me saying they had done nothing.

Extremely annoyed, I told them to just do the fucking presentation and that I would now finish the other 50% of the code myself. I coded 16 hours straight, went to bed, woke up and coded for another 8 hours. It wasn't exactly what I wanted, but it covered all the points.

The day of, they showed me their presentation. It was complete trash. When we ended up presenting, I improvised the entire thing. The others didn't even speak. Not once. At the end of it, we received 65%. The professor said that if the project had been completed by one person, it would've received a perfect grade, but because there were 4 of us, he expected more. They all looked at me in fear of saying something. I just thanked the professor for his time and left.

The professor knew I did the entire thing myself. My code was by far the most consistent in his class, constantly receiving perfect marks and him asking me to assist other students.

When I graduated, I didn't have 100%, but I did have a 90%. Considering that project was worth 25% of our final marks, he definitely bumped my grade.

So many options in web development. Don't know what to learn next or focus on. Mean stack or Asp .net or JavaEE?

Is it worth learning JavaEE or should I just hack something together and hope it doesn't explode?

Good morning devRant.

Here's a good question. What is the worst tool you've tried that was recommended to you? Could be a text editor, IDE, STACK setup, etc.

For me that tool was Eclipse with JavaEE. Not Spring/Hibernate or Maven, but specifically JavaEE in Eclipse. I probably lost over 2 1/2hours configuring that beast to work and it would still break every half hour or so. Drove me crazy enough to switch to IntelliJ. It's one of the rare cases where a free application just wasn't as good as a paid for application. :/

I'm working on a JavaEE Webshop (Uni assignment) that has to send and receive JMS messages to and from a server, which is located inside the university network, so I have to use a VPN to run the shop. The problem is, the VPN is so goddamn slow that I get SocketTimeOutExceptions regularely! I have Gigabit-Connection, but with the VPN it slows down to ~1Mbps for whatever reason, which is apparently too slow for Java.

when u code and you can not found a solution for 4 days , story of my life

Please give your opinions/experience, I'm tired of meetings with the legal team. :(

Can a proprietary software link to a GPL-licensed dependency during runtime?
Can it do if its GPL "with Classpath Exception"? What about CDDL?

Case in point - propriety Java web app needs javax.* libraries (JakartaEE components) at runtime (from project or JavaEE app server), but they are licensed under GPL.

Can they be used or is there any workaround?

Java EE is not easy😭.
Need details ressources 😔

anyone elso who has worked with JavaEE in a big company liked those ultra long classnames like AdapterTaskConsumerComparatorTestServiceExpressionImpl?

Am only me gets bored during internship with java ee? Just robotic stuff, that repeats with every sansara loop

!rant

I've used JavaEE/jQuery/pure JS for so long, I'm crying out for some side projects using different frameworks/technologies.

What's good?

I always hear that Java EE is dead. can someone explain?
