Hello, friends! After 10(!) years of #AdventOfCode, I've made some changes to preserve my sanity: there will be 12 days of puzzles each December (still starting Dec 1) and there is no longer a global leaderboard. Read more:

Jackson 3, really?
It seems that Java library maintainers have stopped being afraid of their users. Spring’s dominance allows them to pull off any nonsense and their users will swallow it.

TIL that @kotlinlang.org allows for method overloading like this.
And it breaks Java reflection based libraries like Mockito.
Honestly, I'm not sure it's even a feature and not a bug in the compiler...

With latest Scala improvements proposals I’m more and more thinking about reasonable Scala project github.com/twitter/rsc Scala 2 was good enough. Maybe requires some facelift of standard library. Making it reasonable as well.

I used return keyword in Scala today and that felt right. That's it, I'm bringing return back! Early returns are fine sometimes!

Gosh, I'm starting to get all the hate towards space significant syntax after I switched to VIM mode everywhere.
Coding in Scala 3 sucks now... 😒 ngl prolly skill issue, need to learn on ways to mitigate that.
