Ok, I’ll give you a pass on making up random shit then.

Why you are doing that is beyond me. (It’s fairly obvious you just took the wictionary definition to “araf” and inserted crap.)

Still, I’ll keep playing along. You are such a smart person! One day, maybe we all can be like you! 🤗

No, I don’t think that’s the case here. What are you? American? The passive aggressive arrogance is fairly telling.

“big boy” words

That’s the thing. It’s not. I can’t find that in any English dictionary. The phonetic spelling doesn’t even register as a search result. We are going to need the source of that definition as well, bot.

I normally wouldn’t press the issue, but your last sentence is super annoying.

Part of the definition comes from here: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/araf

There is the version in Islam: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Araf_(Islam)

The rest is just AI prompt BS:

It’s leaking over into Lemmy as well from random instances. Anyone has been browsing All for the last few days has probably seen a couple specific URL-based post titles a few times a day for the last few days.

(Confirmation bias, ENGAGE!)

We have a few of those projects coming up as well. Thankfully, I just get to poke at the apps to make sure the issues are resolved.

But yeah, one of my examples of rogue threads is a coding issue, not inherently a language issue. Even log4j issues can’t be completely blamed on Java “The Language”.

Same thing with COBOL! So many devs with … Wait. Are any COBOL devs even alive still?

There is nothing inherently wrong with Java I would speculate, but it can be a royal pain in the ass to manage if you just need one application to work.

I know the basics of the language, but from what I have seen managing it, I don’t like it. Just from being in security, I constantly hit barriers with devs because of versioning issues. There is always some ancient app running on a version of Java that can’t be updated, for whatever reason. Version management is always a pain, but with Java? Goddamn.

I admit ignorance about the details of Java and how awesome it is for job security. There is no way in hell I could even debate anyone who has watched a single video on YouTube about Java. However, from what I have seen, it either works great or it fails explosively with billions of randomly allocated threads attempting to suck memory from every other server within 50 miles.

If it’s awesome to code with, cool. I am just a little salty from my experiences, as you can tell.

That specific incident happened a while ago, just as those were getting more widely blocked. There is still an instance or two that can be vocal, but it’s not nearly as bad as it was.

Who?

I am old’ish so this checks out.

Lemmy has its quirks and it has its own distinct cliques, for sure. Posting specific viewpoints on some specific instances can be a bit awkward, especially for new users. Let’s just say that if you haven’t been called a capitalist pig baby killer at least once on Lemmy, you haven’t had the full, well rounded experience.

All in all, Lemmy is fairly nice but people can still play follow the leader with comments. That is a curse with all social media, I’m afraid.

Same. Swim harder?
