Claude was annoying me with endless prompts to search ~/.m2 and inspect code.

- Indexes your project deps
- Decompiles full jars, lazily
- Injects debug bytecode into jars

@springrod @brunoborges @lucas_montano Exactly. In my consulting days I never met a client who could say exactly what they wanted. I always had to pull it out of them and point out conflicting ideas and ambiguity they couldn't see. If I had just built everything I was told we would have produced garbage.

[David Blevins @dblevins]

Java AWS S3 users, you need this library. I promise you.

Eliminates boilerplate (error prone) code. Replaces it with strongly-typed directory structures you define with interfaces.

I'm fairly certain I will reach 70 years old and still have to lookup bash array manipulation syntax.

There is really nothing like seeing CVEs exploited in real time right before your eyes. They always feel theoretical in text. Once you see it, you can't forget it.

@holdeeer Thank you. A bit better at least.

[David Blevins @dblevins]

Dear friends, how do I disable this new style of completion in #Intellij?

Sooo distracting. Like someone talking in your ear all day while you're trying to think.

Basically the only way to survive 174 is layoffs, then empowering the remaining workforce with AI tools to regain productivity. This is your ultimate thesis, just FYI that 174 is speeding this up globally.

[David Blevins @dblevins]

@GergelyOrosz great article on software engineering jobs. Section 174 does dramatically affect the international jobs market as if a US company pays for software development performed outside the US, the "penalty" is not 5 years but 15. Outsourcing took a massive it.

[David Blevins @dblevins]

@lukaszlenart Done!
