If you’re an engineer you should be able to easily read the code to see what’s going on. Most of the time the “magic” can be understood in less than 30 minutes and then it’s not magic anymore.
What's inexcusable is to inflict the rest of your team with your nonsense.
I got in a bit of a disagreement with teammates at a previous job. I liked these teammates, they were very smart and nice people, but for a specific project I wanted to use LMAX Disruptor, and the excuse for not using it was very literally “we don’t want to make people learn anything”.
That stuff blows my mind; aren’t we engineers? If we’re not willing to learn new things and adapt, what exactly are we offering that a high school kid who bought an “Intro to Java” and “Intro to Spring” book can’t?
But you're right, cmd+clicking on the annotation just shows where the annotation is defined, not where the behavior is implemented.
