Love that you included the failed attempts and documented the ideas which you had an followed. Those tend to teach as much as the successful solution (especially for someone like me, who is a not a Java native and haven’t used the more modern versions)
- gunnarmorling 6y agoThanks, really appreciating this sort of feedback, it's very motivating!

It's very easy to write out a finished blog post with recipe-like instructions, but you will be throwing the baby out with the bathwater, as the reader might miss out on crucial insights into why the solution is the way it is.
