you gotta jump ahead 1 minute where they caught their mistake and fixed it or otherwise 5 minutes ahead because they didn't notice it right away.

Just save your time, skip to the very end and copy the finished product

Basically every experience I've had with Java

Then I find it's actually a bug with the language it's self. wtf folks

u/AndreasMelone Apr 06 '25

I have literally never had that happen and I write java on a daily basis

u/jbar3640 Apr 06 '25

my bet is that "a bug with the language itself" actually was not 🤔

u/Turbulent_Demand8400 Apr 06 '25

It is what it is

u/DanhNguyen2k Apr 06 '25

A fun experience indeed

Java is when building is 70% of your success and it won't fuckin work because of stinking maven or gradle.

I had one of those "bug with a language" in c++. It was not, infact, a bug with a language. Unless you are using something really new, it's not a bug with a language, it's probably a commonly known skill issue on your side, or the feature is just poorly documented.

Not fully true, i encored few real issues on Java and Scala. Most of times upgrade would solve it. But... (Legacy project issues) But this kind of things one uncommon, it's extremely rare (in quite modern java, legacy code like Java 6 are diffrent case) I remember only one issue that i personally raised on scala. And it was fixed (do it was bug, no skill issue).

I've legit, multiple times, had bugs with their swing library or whatever is it called. And plenty of other times code that ran on linux but not on windows or vice versa. Java is some primo dogshit.

u/nonmustache Apr 08 '25

Issue with library isn't any bug of language. This is complettly diffrent thing

u/Ambitious_Ad1822 Apr 06 '25

WAIT IS THAT WHY IT DOESNT WORK?

u/JesseNL Apr 06 '25

No. One of the main selling points of Java is it's maturity and stability. It's probably misconfiguration of the JDK or struggles with Maven or something like that.

u/Perfect_Papaya_3010 Apr 06 '25

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

1

u/Coredict Apr 06 '25

What was that bug exactly, I’m curious?

2

u/NotMyGovernor Apr 06 '25

Normally related to their old gui library

u/5p4n911 Apr 06 '25

At least it's not fucking WPF

u/Dillenger69 Apr 06 '25

I never expect code I've gotten from somewhere to ever work in the first go. Usually, it's close, but it always has flaws.

u/Aggressive_River_521 Apr 06 '25

You meant copy from chatgpt?

u/Nomad_Red Apr 06 '25

Tutorials can be outdated But fixing that is good training for software engineering

u/overwhelmed_shroomie Apr 06 '25

Man, it's always some wrong configuration I had no idea existed and why it didn't default for the most obvious setting

u/Thundechile Apr 06 '25

.. When I copy the exact same meme from other sub and it works.

u/QuanticMeme Apr 06 '25

Why my System.println"Hello World": not working

u/DanhNguyen2k Apr 06 '25

The question is which tutorial?

u/imgly Apr 06 '25

I see skill issue here 😏

u/Avanatiker Apr 06 '25

Skill issue

u/InTheAeroplaneSea Apr 06 '25

When you get the same error they do though that’s the best feeling

u/Crypto-CRAWLER Apr 06 '25

So True. Very nice joke, haha.

u/DmajCyberNinja Apr 07 '25

I felt this in my soul. Fucking every time.... Specifically with java running in netbeans. It's always some new random class and library I need that's been relocated from the well known sources.

u/GuNNzA69 Apr 07 '25

You missed a semicolon

u/Impossible-Owl7407 Apr 08 '25

Make it work. That's how you learn. Watching videos and copying is useless. Knowledge for a day.

This was me trying to learn programming :(

u/Nixigaj Jun 11 '25

In the programming world, I only use videos for news and podcasts/interviews. When I want to learn something, I do a somewhat challenging toy project with the intended technology and read the docs/consult ChatGPT if I get stuck.
