To be honest, I don’t like to call it a code editor as it’s more than that. For web and Nodejs or Python developers, it’s a full-fledged IDE. Taken, we need to customize it ourselves to work like an IDE. ...

Hey! Tea lovers! Before talking about Lombok, what are the things that irritate us Java Developers the most? Well yes, hearing “Java is dying” from a Python developer is irritating but it is the second thing. The first one is the boilerplate code. We write it almost every time.

And that’s where Project Lombok comes into the picture. ...
