This is a powerful API, Will! Wow I can see how Reflection can be helpful but that you have to be careful when using it to not mess up your code. Awesome video!!
This is so good! Just a small suggestion (feel free to ignore): Probably can reduce the font size of the editor (just like what we see in the editor in full screen). That way the viewers will get a complete structure / method / class within the whole field of view. I personally find that increases the understanding more, kind of a mental map that every developer creates in their mind while understanding something
Thanks for the feedback - I’ve gone back and forth on this a bit. On one hand, I want to make sure you guys can easily see the code I’m writing on smaller screen sizes, but on the other hand like you’re getting at, it’s often a lot easier to understand code in bigger chunks rather than small snippets. I’ll play around with this a bit more
For sure, I could see that. I feel like reflection is one of those things that is usually best left to a framework to get right, but every once in a while I play around with it :)
I love your content, Will! Thanks for diving into advanced topics like the Reflection API. Keep the videos coming.
Thanks! I intend to continue posting regularly for a while. Glad to hear you're liking the content!

Absolutely - it breaks a lot of the normal code assumptions which can definitley throw programmers for a loop

We use to use reflection a lot in our framework code before Spring days. But now with Spring Boot, we hardly use it.
