Getting old is interesting. I've always been a middle ground between sports (skateboarding, surfing, jiu-jitsu) and an avid student. Over time, it's clear that you can't keep trying the same tricks, just as you can't study the same way.

Today, as I'm writing an article about event-driven architectures, I realize that final exams in college were much easier, just like it's not as easy to jump the same stairs on a skateboard as I did when I was 18. In the image, you can see my favorite note-taking app, Obsidian, and my Neovim terminal. I'm diving deep into Java, and for that, I'm taking a Spring Boot bootcamp offered by Claro through the DIO Innovation One platform.

When you decide to learn a programing language it's always like

New programing languages:

"I would like to learn this language!"

-"Here's the most beautiful website you've ever seen, 3 free textbooks,greatest documentation ever, and a billion dollars for you for just being interested!"

Old programing languages:

"I would like to learn this lang-"

-"Fuck you, go try to find where to download it on our website that we haven't updated since flash was commonly used"

The thing about Java is it isn't even that bad a language. I think Java primarily gets a bad rep because people learn it as their first programming language.

Java should not be learned as a first programming language. Learn another language like Python, learn about classes and functions and methods in that language, and only then start learning Java. If you're learning Java first, you're going to have no idea about any of that stuff, which will make everything that's done seem like confusing and arbitrary boilerplate.

Unfortunately, the College Board seems not to have gotten the memo. AP CS A, which is the primary high school Computer Science curriculum in the US, uses Java. And they don't even make you use any unique Java features like having everything be tied to a class, or interfaces, or Java's uniquely fantastic enum system, or anything else. It honestly feels like they just threw a dart at a list of programming languages and it happened to land of Java, because the curriculum would be the exact same in almost any other language.

I like how java has

Random random = new Random()
