For real! This is why a lot of modern TV is hard for me to watch. So many stories about mostly terrible people being awful without any humanity. Most people are good.

Java has a lot of advantages, but that’s a crazy statement. I feel like literally everyone complains about basic stuff like public static void main, over reliance on factories and OOP, and just how much code you need to generate for some basic stuff. I’m not a Java hater, but I am glad I don’t have to use it anymore.
Ah, I read “last” as “previous” and I consider 17 the “current” series, not the last. I have enjoyed most of 17 though I agree it’s a bit of a dip, but I do love Sophie and Nick. John gives me weird vibes, and I like Steve but he’s also a bit understated. Joanne I go back and forth on but overall like her
Last series was one of my favorites. I guess Sam and Lucy’s derangement isn’t for everyone.
One thing that I find when I try to rewatch ALL of it from the start is that I usually also start to peeter out after series 7, but if I START there, I love the following series too. I think you can just get a bit burnt out on Taskmaster.
Also series 7 is just so incredible that it was a bit hard to follow.
That’s wild. I haven’t loved this current (17) series as much as previous, but Sam and Lucy were absolutely incredible in that season too. I think that’s an interesting thing about Taskmaster, everyone’s favorites are different and people have wildly different preferences. The show covers a lot of comedic ground.
I’ve never found similar artists to be helpful. Most of the time it’s just a worse version of the thing I like. I don’t really like stuff that sounds very samey though.
So a lot of Java hate I think is mostly in jest.
Personally, Java was the programming language that I had to use for my first two years of college. It’s how I learned OOP, data structures, and algorithms. I had to use Eclipse, which at the time was AWFUL (and maybe still is, no idea). I remember it being semi-normal for it to take over a minute to launch on my (gaming) PC.
Later on, as I learned other languages and got a job, I just haven’t really had a reason to go back to Java, and most of my memories of it are from being annoyed at Eclipse and needing to implement Quicksort in it. I’m sure it’s a great language and I bet it’s a lot better and more convenient now. It’s just kinda trendy and weirdly nostalgic to hate on it in a half-serious way :) .
