The title should really be "When Java wears you out".

He seems to be more interested in complaining about the verbosity level of Java than about idiomatic code.

It could be, "When Java idioms wear you out".

Idioms, of course, vary by language, and I think Java's tend toward the excessively architected. Architecture is a fine thing at scale, but Java doesn't seem to understand that you don't want six tanks and an aircraft carrier when you're heading to the store for milk.
