Saying it has “mostly never been true” and dismissing this as a “Meme” couldn’t be more off.
A lot of programmer effort in any organization goes towards supporting existing software, which in the Java ecosystem tends to full of all the factory non sense. I’m sure these concepts started off in the J2EE space, but it’s infected a lot of different types of projects because people assumed these patterns were “good” or inherently part of Java. And here we are now dealing with the mess.
- elric 5y agoI've been working on enterprisey Java software for nearly two decades, and I've never come across anything that's full of "factory non sense" in the wild. Sure, I'm just one person, but I've worked on more projects than I can count. With good teams and bad teams alike. I'm sure there are shitty programmers in every language community, who will write things using concepts they understand only marginally, and I'm sure it has lead to a couple of FactoryFactoryFactories here and there. But the ecosystem is not "full" of this at all. Java isn't the same as it was 20 years ago. It grew up.
