Java coding hacks developers should know 🧵 1) Use Map.ofEntries() for creating multi-pair immutable maps Why: Shorter, immutable, safer and avoids accidental mutation.
2) Use Optional. map().orElse() instead of manual null handling Why: Eliminates null checks, reads better, and chains smoothly with other logic.
@theskilledcoder I think this one in shorter: Map.of("key1", "value1", "key2", "value2")
@theskilledcoder Because all scenarios are one size fits all? Monadic engineering is useful but it is in no way preferable when not needed!
@theskilledcoder There's a shorter version. Though it can be more error prone if not properly formatted.
@theskilledcoder Ah, thanks for the reminder of just how cumbersome java is to work with. Maybe a decade more and they'll catch up to Kotlin 1.X.
