Ask HN: Anyone has a side project written in Java/SQL?

4 pointsJI_Joe14 comments

I've taken the time to up skill myself in both technologies past the intermediary stage. Just wanted to know what people are building with both technologies.

Further question : Are both outdated, or i should focus on up skilling in any modern tech stack ?

If so kindly drop any recommendations, thanks in advance.

Java is not outdated. You still need the likes of it if you are building platform independent high performance applications. At the end of the day, it's just another tool in your arsenal. But I'd still suggest you learn Python, TS etc because those are very helpful in rapid prototyping and quick iterations. AT higher levels, you're not evaluated based on the number of languages you know or frameworks you are familiar with, but rather your solutionising and design capabilities. Learn to design and build systems.

Thanks.

Absolutely still writing new Java apps in 2023! Quarkus/TomEE as base framework!

Nice!
