Remember that childhood game where you'd pretend the floor was lava and climb on furniture to avoid certain death? Well, modern developers play the same game, except the lava is Java.
Look at these poor souls contorting themselves into impossible positions just to avoid touching a language that's been threatening to die for 20 years but somehow still runs on billions of devices. The desperate gymnastics to use literally anything else—Python, JavaScript, Rust—is the true Olympic sport of software engineering.
The irony? Most of them will end up working at companies with massive Java codebases anyway. All that ceiling-clinging for nothing!
