Java seems to be the culprit then.

Can’t even imagine. I’ve got fed up by the short time I had to configure Maven in plain xml…

I had to read it repeatedly and check if it really said “syntax error”. What will those people do if they encounter their first race condition?

Yes. Keep it simple and stupid.

It’s like that in other democracies too. It’s like analysists about the markets. They all know jack-shit but need to report something to justify their existence in media. The outcome is usually close enough to make them stay but never quite the actual result.

The cringe term “code ninja” supports your theory.
