cool. which EE server were you using? was docker involved?

i have set up an apache (and soon glassfish as well) apache fronted environment to delve more into docker, kubernates and spring along with react for the front end.
Jetty at my current employment. We really only use docker to run dependencies for testing locally. I think most Java work you will find is probably some backend API development. TBH I don't really do much dev ops related work

why is it with these fonky (scripting "modern") languages like python you have to download third party programs and libraries from god knows where through systems and programs that leave your computer open to exploits and attack?

pip my r@sclat :what: :hhh: and that's not even to mention npm :scust:

I was learning ocaml a few years back. Used it on a couple of side projects.
One of my favourite languages :wow:
Same with Clojure :wow:
Functional programming :blessed:

I wish more people used them.

I used to be worried about that too, but now I'm at the point of... well, in NPM's case, if it has millions of downloads a week and there have been no reports, most likely it's safe.

If I spend too much time worrying about that, I'll never get anything done. :manny:

it's the same with gradle. software repos are used to pull configs and actual software down from online repos. the maven repo for example.

big companies will run their own repos to mitigate the risk. personally I am not entirely happy with relying on the security of a-n-other.

i don't use iCloud (for sensitive data), iPay etc for the same reason.

I'm getting :flabbynsick:

I remember reading a long time ago that like 60% of web apps were affected because somebody took one of their packages offline but the way I understood it is that because of that incident, certain safeguards were put in place.

I thought that meant we are safe now :lupe:

I thought it was that they wanted to buy Java and got rebuffed, so they made their own Java with blackjack and hookers
full
. Back when I was using C# with Unity I got into it because Microsoft's documentation was so good compared to the Java documentation. It always felt like there was a lot more code needed to get off the ground though. A simple hello world in Java is just the class. In C# it was the class plus like 8 or 9 other random files, although I think this might have changed with .NET Core .

This was true for the longest, the hardest part about C# used to be just setting up a fukking api. .Net Framework was absolutely a nightmare to set up. .Net Core 6+ though, shyt is pretty much brainless now.

Been coding primarily in C# since 2012 with small stops in Java, Typescript and Go.

I recommend these three books if you're trying to get good at it. I'm pretty much a beast at it so if you got questions just hit the PM
