I started out as a Java dev. I came in around Java 8, and I loved using the streams API (still do) - trying to stream through everything is just enormous fun. And I loved adding all sorts of Spring magic to make programs do all sorts of fun things. And I loved trying to use all sorts of package private protected stuff to define an intricate architecture, and make complex generic utilities to solve any 2 variations of an implementation. And then, of course, I woke up and smelled the roses, and realized the mess I was making.
