> Java unit tests on other hand are never read by devs in practice.

You should get to know better java developers. :-)

I write my blog using Hugo, it is rather simple to use - just a folder of markdown files.

For publishing, I use netlify (which does the build and hosting). Their free tier is more than enough for me. The domain comes from namecheap.

You can buy online-only keys for about 10€ on amazon. They work well, although they are not transferrable to a new pc.

Not really: it's not bureaucracy that scares us Europeans, rather than the fact that over 50% of the country voted in an indisputably racist way to lower immigration. It's the fact that Europeans in the UK feel mistreated and disliked now.

You hugely underestimate how much of large corporations work in java. Android, compared to the enterprise software, is peanuts.

Because it's the most used language in enterprise software. It's reliable, rather easy to learn, and quite productive. It's not particularly fun, but it works and the tooling is pretty great.

Our product, a large-scale enterprise software, is slowly getting killed. It's old and it's rather unusable (by the users). Plus, for "backward compatibility", it supports dozens of strange configurations. It's dragged down by so much technical debt (functions longer than 3000 lines with 60 parameters!) that every small changes requires so much time.

We're slowly killing (i.e. no big new developments, but only maintenance for existing customers) and abandoning it. And luckily we're not rewriting it. :-)

In Italy, a bottle of proper extra-virgin olive oil is roughly 10 euros per liter. If you're paying less than that, it's not real.

IntelliJ's debugger can "drop frame", after which you can re-run a function.

GPL 3. Meaning it won't ever be adopted by anyone.
