As one of your subscribers and a customer to your Gradle Hero course and Gradle Bible book, this is a very sad news. I cannot tell you how much the content you created has helped me in my career to understand Gradle and become confident about it. But I fully understand what it takes to keep content coming especially when you don't have a full-time job. I will stay subscribed to your channel and look forward to your next big idea. Thanks a ton for your efforts and contributions and all the best wishes on your next bright idea. 👍🏼
Good luck in your new plans. I've been using Java for so many use cases now. Web apps (Micronaut+HTMX/JStachio), CLIs (Micronaut/PicoCLI + native), Massive data loading, AWS Lambda (60ms cold startup), Cyber security analysis (STIX) with graph dbs (CYPHER), wrapping C libs with the new FFM api. Matrix processing with the new Vector API (AVX2/AVX512) which is going to be HUGE in AI/ML (NO external libs). Running Python inside Java with Truffle. Yeah that last one is mad ;) I started out with 6502 assembler, BASIC, COBOL, Pascal, RPG, C, C++, Python etc. Being able to run the same Java app (unchanged) on an IBM mainframe, midrange (AS/400) and on a PC was great for me. Now being able to natively compile (GraalVM) and get insane speeds (1BRC), is just icing.
Cool and honest video, congratz! I'm afraid this is the first video of you the youtube algo made me aware of. Therefore I'm afraid I'm not a regular of your videos, but as I program on our stack since the 90 (JVM and Web) I thought I leave a comment anyway. :) If you after a while will come back into programming, as a Java/Gradle crack while still of courese enjoying the client stuff very much, take a look at Kotlin in combination with 3D. It could bring everything together that you where talking about in your short video. Success and see you in the cloud!
Hi, good and true video. Even I have over 2 decades of experience in Java. Personally even I feel like quitting it. But, I am scared of my future and finance. One question, would be thankful if you will answer it. HOW DO YOU MANAGE YOUR FINANCE NOW
Yes I have the same fear. I'm living off a tiny income but mostly savings. Staying motivated to keep building stuff is how I plan to turn that around. I'll explain more in the next video.
Pffft. I have developed java since 97. No turning back. I never gonna get better or more effective with anything else worth trying for what I do for a living. I say this after 34 seconds of your video. Will never change....never! Okay...lets see the rest.
Okay seen the rest now. Your reason is legit. Different setting from my own completely and understandable from you angle. Good luck with your choice and good luck with your future content.
Hello, I'm Brazilian and I'm looking for content to study in JAVA, I'm just starting out and from your video, I understood a little about what you meant, should I continue with my studies in JAVA or look for new paths too?
Greetings! By documenting my decision to quit Java I hope to offer an alternate perspective. Everyone has a different situation though, so you'll have to take from it what's useful to make your own decision. Do you have any more specific questions about Java and industry in general? I might be able to cover in another video.
@@tiagoorcall. hey im also learning java. But the problem many people are saying it isnt worth it, since company dont hire fresher java dev, whats your view on this
You became a full stack software engineer but misunderstood your new privileged status to mean weaning yourself of java. I think this is the case because most java engineers like to play in the back end/devops world.
microsoft killed java....and this is a good thing. a very very very good thing. All those years of java developers hating on MS stack guys. I guess we get the last laugh

That's great. Thanks for the encouragement!
I can only completely agree with coderkinime! Thanks a ton, Tom!
I've developed in multiple languages over the years (e.g. COBOL, Assembler, C, Java, Python, Perl, ...) Developers should change

That's cool. Java is a very versatile language.
Ok, that is a relief. It is a personal preference and not a lack of demand in tech industry or trend.
Very painful.....when u say I'm leaving java
Java is cool language I switched from js to Java I faced many problems and always thought to leave but I learned it
I am still with Java, Java 21+ and spring boot.

I absolutely understand Tom. Sounds like it was time.

@@TomGregoryTech thanks for the next reply. Waiting eagerly for your next Video :-)
SUBBED! Great channel!
Oh No! Anyway.. good luck for what ever your next plans are!!
Thank you
So om which Stack you changed?
Golang or C++?
Any stack to deliver a full web app as a solo developer. I've chosen Vue.js (TypeScript & HTML), Tailwind CSS, & AWS Lambda (JavaScript).
@@TomGregoryTechwhy not go? I decided to go with Golang! Whats your opinion?
@jesy1732your English sucks haha
@@TomGregoryTechThanks for the details.
There are 100s millions of lines of java, there will always be work. But, also learn borrow checker languages such as rust, if you want to spice it up
As a C dev, i totally agree to leave Java.
You either die with Java or live long enough to use Javascript 😂
JAJAJAJAJAJAAJAJa
lol
What am I doing? I started with JavaScript and haven't done anything else.
@@WebDevJapanyoure coding, not programming
@@blzrL oh dang it guess chat gpt is gonna replace me
Both : We live with Java & Javascript!

Is it safe to assume that you have enough money not to need a full-time job?
who cares about that, don't look into other people's pockets
Forr now, yes. But I need to start other potentially money making projects that I'll talk about in future videos.
Ok, it is just a personal preference and not the language itself or the lack of demand in the tech industry or trend.
It is wise decision to learn Java in 2024 or something else makes more sense? Please guide.
Check out my latest video for an answer to this.
@@TomGregoryTech Thanks.

@@TomGregoryTech Nice! About JAVA, is it worth investing time in this language nowadays?
@@tiagoorcall. hey im also learning java. But the problem many people are saying it isnt worth it, since company dont hire fresher java dev, whats your view on this
@@Kazama47 I think that one day the old java developers will die and thus vacancies will open up for us, faith, brother
@@tiagoorcall. lol thats gonna take lot of years haha, but are you still learning java ?
Java + 25 years ! Now flutter... its about the same🎉

This is sad. You course "Monitoring A Spring Boot Application" is really awesome! It helped me a lot!
Welcome to the JavaScript family
microsoft killed java....and this is a good thing. a very very very good thing. All those years of java developers hating on MS stack guys. I guess we get the last laugh
Hey i'm leaving java too, a little sad but gotta move on
are you planning to create a course?
What goal would the course help you achieve?
Can someone help with a Java project for school?
What do you got?
Long live the king
자바 공화국에서 자바로 일하고 있는데 슬프네요 😢
चुप
Sometime who those quit java, is they cannot pay
bro got lost in the sauce 🤦🏾♂️
His OnlyFans really took off 😂
worthless videos if author is no longer developer
