Look, I'm just going to say it: Java is always pass-by-value. No exception. Period. End of story.

Or how I learned from my silly mistakes when creating myself a common Maven dependency.

The quickest, cleanest, and easiest way to handle exceptions for requests in Spring Boot like a professional programmer in enterprises (or at least look like one).

This JEP is like giving the Stream API steroids: now you can bend streams to your will in ways that would make previous Java developers weep tears of pure joy.

This tutorial shows how to use P6Spy to inspect generated SQL statements when debugging a Spring Boot application. Because let's face it, squinting at TRACE logs is about as fun as a root canal.

You probably won't need to sort your list of objects with custom comparison very often. But when you do... well, buckle up boys, because we're going on a wild ride!

Why do we still cling to the ancient dogma of single Service and single ServiceImpl? What are the pros and cons of this "methodology"?

This will be a very long rant post. I've put some sections into expandable boxes so that you can read them only when you need to.
