Hey, Tea Lovers! Today we will look at the Visual Studio Code aka VSCode extensions that every programmer needs to improve his or her productivity 10 folds. The VSCode, hands down, is the best and most flexible code editor in the market now, and being open-source is the cherry on top. 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! This post is about garbage collectors in Java. This is the continuation of the post series “Get Ready to Deep Dive Java Memory Management”. In Java memory management, a Garbage collector is the process by which Java programs perform automatic memory management. This is a more complicated process than just garbage collecting and freeing up memory. The garbage collector is expensive to process which leads to a stop-the-world event. ...

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. Setters and getters, constructors, toString, and many others for simple POJO classes. Of course, IDE can generate this code for you but again, your simple POJO class then becomes redundant.

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