Not to mention the stack traces. Gotta scroll through 100 abstraction layers just to find where your own code even starts... And that's if your code was the issue.
Most days I actually like programming in Java, but these dynamic injection libraries are god awful to debug. I'm convinced that there is a growing number of vibe coders who have no idea how proper web services actually work.
And I bet all the types are like SpringAbstractDynamicInjectorInterfaceFactoryEnterpriseBean?
That's what we were saying 20+ years ago. and again all the way back to Java 1.0.
Exactly. Nothing "new" here.
