Spring Doesn’t Replace Java Fundamentals Spring Boot makes things faster. But it doesn’t replace: • SOLID principles • Concurrency understanding • JVM memory management • Transaction boundaries • Thread safety Frameworks amplify your fundamentals. If the base is weak, the abstraction won’t save you. Strong engineers understand what happens under the hood. #SpringBoot #Java #SoftwareEngineering
Java is the foundation and Spring is a rocket

Great point! Frameworks allow us to apply patterns and concepts indirectly, what makes the development faster
Well said! The same thing can be said about AI nowadays, it doesn’t replace the fundamentals.
I usually say you have know well the abstraction layer that you use every day. You should understand the layer below. Have some idea about one lyer below that. It is usually enough. If you code in Java understand class loading, gc, jvm byte code. Have some idea about machine code. No need to understand memory wiring, hardware buses. No need to know how a logical gate is built from mosfets. No need to understand how the fet channel builds up induced by the gate potentian. No need to figure out the quantuum mechanical properties of the silicon cristal.
