The large amount of libraries in the Java ecosystem is a blessing, but developers should be careful when adding a dependency. Do risk-assessment, look at quality, maintainability, security,... And especially: keep in mind todays JDK provide lots of stuff that in the past was in external deps only!

#JavaJokeOfTheDay Why does Java use static typing? Because assigning "hello" to an int shouldn’t be a runtime jump scare. Java straps on a helmet before riding. Others ride blindfolded, crash, and blame the road. #JavaDukeShortStories

#JavaJokeOfTheDay Why do Java developers use a class literally named Unsafe? Because it gives them raw, unchecked, low-level power. 💥 Sometimes, danger comes with speed. We all do unsafe things in life. At least Java warned us first. 😏 #JavaDukeShortStories

Here’s some #Maven dependency advice: if your source code imports a class then make sure its provider (the JAR file) is explicitly listed as a dependency. DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT rely on the transitive closure of resolved dependencies. If used, declare it. You’ll thank me later.

You'd think if AI was as valuable as it's being marketed as, the Cursor team would use it to "generate" proprietary LSP extensions using the agentic products they're pushing. At some point you gotta eat your own dogfood.
