AI can accelerate Java development, but by applying the Single Responsibility Principle we can unlock even more value, clarity, and testability in AI assisted workflows.Published on
You’re running your Maven build, all your tests pass successfully, but suddenly the build fails with a cryptic error in the forked process. This article explores a frustrating edge case where mocked exceptions break the test reporting phase, causing builds to fail despite passing tests.Published on
Inlining is one of the most aggressive and rewarding optimizations performed by the HotSpot JIT compiler. It replaces a method call with the actual body of the method called, eliminating dispatch overhead and enabling further optimizations. But not all method calls are inlined, and understanding why requires diving deep into how the compiler makes these decisions.Published on
Why doesInputStream.read() returns an int instead of a byte in Java? It’s a small detail that sometimes puzzles developers, especially those new to Java’s I/O API. In this article, we break down the reasoning behind this design choice and explain why it actually makes the Java API more robust and developer friendly.Published on
Some online ads promise quick coding mastery and high-paying jobs, but beware: many are scams. Learn to spot them!Published on
In software development, true leadership mixes both technical know-how with effective communication. Asking questions skillfully helps growth and team unity, beyond just getting answers.Published on

In this article I am trying to touch on just a few pointers that I feel will help Java beginner programmers to smooth their code writing abilities and to become a proficient coder faster.Published on
In this article, I am not trying to provide any technical tips for handling an old project. It aims to offer a few ideas to follow if you want to keep your sanity while being assigned a legacy project. We are going to take a look at what roughly makes up a legacy and try to find why it may not be as bad as it looks at the first glance.Published on
