I mean, again, Java itself isn't so much as inherently good as populated by grownups who have some actual sense of responsibility. Google Guava notwithstanding (it's good but it does make the odd breaking change here and there so you do have to keep up with it). Otherwise, Maven doesn't support more than one version of any given transitive dependency in any given project and in practice this is virtually never a problem which speaks to the maturity of the people in the Java ecosystem. Compare it to the JavaScript ecosystem: it's not just that JS is an awful language (even though a lot of the worst stuff has been brought under control with new language revisions and type checkers and suchlike) it's the fact that it attracts the worst kinds of thoroughly punchable dickheads.

i'm a "generalist" in that i can do embedded stuff, native code on linux and win32, i can write a thing that responds to http requests in a bunch of different languages, i can do an sql, and i can also design then single handedly implement and then maintain a system that integrates all of these things that doesn't catch fire at least some of the time, because i've had to do just that (minus the win32 part) but idk much about distributed systems though other than the cap theorem is a thing, also i think docker and suchlike things are garbage poo poo for idiots. so that probably doesn't make me very hireable.

this is at least the second time, in this very thread, that i've seen, that you do not actually read a post but rush to engage with it and you're wondering why you're having difficulty finding a good job i'm not saying this to be an rear end in a top hat to you, i'm saying this because you need a bit of tough love in this regard

well, if you have a seemingly-simple query that's taking forever to run then you're gonna end up looking at a query plan to figure out (a) what the root cause is and (b) what to do about the root cause and you're going to need to understand how those types of join work in order to do something about it lol if you think you're ever going to have a DBA who will actually help you with this sort of thing as opposed to impeding poo poo

something i've never seen written down anywhere is the general idea that you should split your classes into two broad categories: classes that represent data, and classes that transfer or transform that data. and don't mix the two in one class so you'd have, say, a bunch of classes for an xml dom, and then a bunch of classes for parsing and serializing them. or you'd have a bunch of data transfer objects and a bunch of repositories that load and save them. what you shouldn't have is dom nodes that know how to serialize/deserialize themselves or database entity objects with .save() methods on them one benefit of this is that it then becomes easy to make the data model objects immutable. also you don't have weird implicit dependencies everywhere.

that's almost an entire sixteenth of a commodity server's ram when you've got a working set that can't fit into a single instance's ram then you start thinking about application level sharding when you're google or facebook or amazon and your business data is a gigantic planet-spanning graph, that's the point at which you bust out the super-heavy weaponry. i mean don't get me wrong it's pretty cool that you can get (something that resembles) the software that runs these sorts of operations for free to play around with and study, but these systems require a highly knowledgeable and focused operations and engineering organization to effectively manage, and that tribal knowledge will remain tribal knowledge and not become easily taught and disseminated simply because very few companies actually work at that level. given the political effects they are causing, there is an argument that very few companies should work at that level, but that is an entirely different conversation. long story short anybody who uses warehouse-scale distributed db systems willingly is an idiot, it's what you use when you're so huge that you have no other choice.

vast acres of ram are always nice to have but how can you make effective use that many cores tied to a single system bus? your budget is enviable but also not indicative of anything in one direction or the other. any fool can shovel money into a furnace.
