Another disguising of class related issues as generational to keep the impoverished fighting among themselves.

For too many aspects for my liking, Go moves complexity out of the language and into your code where you get to unavoidably deal with the cognitive load. It's fine if you can keep things small and simple, but beyond a certain complexity, it's a hard pass for me.

False dichotomy.

I'm not sure about a single leading OpenJDk build. It may depend on your use case, and even then, I suspect that they're all pretty interchangeable unless you have some very niche need.

If you're doing anything on AWS, Amazon's Corretto is a good choice. Probably similar for Azure and Microsoft's offering.

If you're using JetBrains IDEs and don't mind waiting for the major release (11, 17, 21, etc.), then those aren't a bad choice either.

I've used Azul's Zulu plenty for my own projects. One thing they do different is to provide alternate builds for every JDK version with JavaFX packaged directly into the JVM.

It's pretty easy to pick and choose between them and manage multiple versions from multiple vendors simultaneously using SDKMAN.

More experience does generally make people better at their jobs.

Yes and for other reasons as well.

That's a very slanted way of phrasing "abusing executive powers".

Nice senseless phrasing, but there is no consumer boycott that is illegal.

I'm sure Justin Sun's purchase of $30 million in crypto tokens from World Liberty Financial has nothing to do with it.

This is an absurd false dichotomy. You can pick fruits from the wilderness and not get mauled by bears. Using apps not in walled gardens has nothing to do with attempts to feel morally superior.

Why not just let candidates use AI like they would at work and design your interview test questions around that?
