  • Yeah, it was hyperbole, but when I bought one, I felt a huge difference when cooking or making tea/coffee.

    Want to cook some rice? Just put water in the electric kettle, prepare the rice and put it in the rice cooker, boom, put the already heated water in the rice cooker. It’s a lot faster than putting a kettle on a stove, here’s 220v, but it is different state to state.

Service classes with over 2000 lines of code, it shouldn’t even be called spaghetti code, more like lasagna code, the pasta came in layers, separation of concerns was a mere suggestion, code was not thread safe (and it needed to be), but there was only 40 Ejbs for each “stateless” service inside de EAR, so number go up, code goes better.

    I refactored it, it’s now in the glorious quarkus 3.27, on virtual threads and java 21, not hyperbole, but 5x more throughput and you don’t need 7 phds in italian cousine.

    Edit: I also saw, in Angular, the infamous:

    if (variable === true || variable === 'true' || variable === "true") {
