> For devs new to the industry seeing this: a framework isn’t a runtime and isn’t a language. Learn how to write decent code without the training wheels of a framework. Then when it’s warranted, use a framework when it fits your needs. But don’t get into a situation where you’re totally dependent on the framework.

For devs new to the industry seeing this: Master Spring, Java, and the JVM, then coast and have fun, while counting your ever growing bank account. Don’t get caught in the vicious cycle of endless hype, “up and coming” languages, microservices, or K8s. Fads, like skinny jeans and man buns, will eventually just disappear back into the void that they came from, but at the end of the day, you’ll have a great career, work life balance, and no problem finding a job. You’re welcome.
