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.
