feeling like shit at work because I'm not productive at all.... I'm a fullstack web dev and was assigned to create a java data importer with multiple sources, multiple scenarios and using various data types... What makes this difficult is that I'm not used to strictly typed languages, because I'm used to swapping variable types and nulling them down/whatever I need to do with them whenever I want. In java I need to assign the correct variable types, there are no asociative arrays . I've been fixing one issue this whole day. Litteraly one fucking issue. Maneged to fuck javas garbage collection even though it's supposed to be automatic. Fuck. I feel like I need to stay late, and program on the weekends to achieve anything with this assigment because right now I feel like I make 0 progress. Boss leaves for vacation next week for a week, and he's the other dev that theoretically should be working with me...

    Can you write importer in a language that you're comfortable with? Sounds like Java isn't your cup'o tea

    @psukys I think I can, I just never really used it, so I'm bad at it. I think I could learn java and probably enjoy using it, but right now it a huge fuckin pain in the ass because it's the first baby steps

    „Swapping variable types and nulling them down” seems horrible in any language. The current trend is to avoid variables completely - constants are just easier to digest.

    And NO, you don’t need to stay late and work over weekend. If you want to get better, read a book how to do stuff in Java properly.
