I've always said Java was the first language ecosystem that let developers write code they neither understood nor could manage. I've been doing this long enough to remember what life was like pre-Java, and I did not at that time have a lot of conversations with developers for which their contribution was "I just use the foo framework, I don't really know anything about it." So congrats to Java for helping shitty devs get shitty code to production faster.
