My goodness. What a question!

If this is the level of incompetence encouraged by a framework, I would avoid using it just to avoid the chance of hiring people like you.

Just kidding. Spring boot is great. But yeah, I would fire people with this attitude without blinking an eye.

how do you decide whether you will write your own or pull in a dependency? this is a legit question. you did start this with writing your own “cronService” (which is about as insane as writing your own database driver) so asked about it.

I really did not. I only said that if you were to create your own cronService, you can reuse it by creating your library rather than copy pasting code (which is obviously insane).

> which is about as insane as writing your own database driver

No, it is not. Spring Boot’s support for async jobs and scheduled jobs is lacking. A lot of people roll their own. Including yours truly.

It is also much easier than writing a database driver so there is that.

Can you elaborate? What exactly is lacking and what version of Spring are you using?!

I am on the latest version of Spring Boot.

The problem isn't that I don't know how to use a batteries included framework. The problem is that you guys don't know there is even an option to reuse your code by writing libraries.

Please do not project things like "you guys don't even know..". I'm one of "you guys" , and have built production code in a variety of languages and frameworks. So this "you guys" knows exactly what he/she is talking about.

I am not. I am literally saying the exact opposite.

I don't even understand what the source of confusion is. I literally said exactly the same thing in the comment you first you replied to.
