I've tried to avoid Java my entire career except in two jobs where I was chasing TC and didn't care about tech stack, and both times I've had a miserable time coding.
It seems like Java sucks all the fun out of writing software. 100% of the people that I know who like working with Java haven't built products in other languages. Their only experience with how much better things can be is a small course back in school 10 years ago.
I don't mean to dis Java - that'd be too easy. But there are so many better languages out there. Why are we stuck with this garbage language with its garbage frameworks?
Is this just me or others here also trying to avoid Java when job hunting??

Try finding all use cases of a field called .id or .url in python.
Type errors in production are only cute a few times then become a serious drag
There are so many better statically typed languages out there
Java has had fairly robust tooling since 2010s.
Usually they pursue esoteric languages which enable creation of unmaintainable code that nobody else on the team wants to touch.
c, c++, c#, python, Java, Ruby , JS/TS, Kotlin and Python.
Too bad I did not get a chance to code in Go.
I agree with ServiceNow.
Maybe after 20+ years at the industry you will have a different perspective.
