Business value gone wild

This blog post will not be about microservices, Spring or any technology that I've already talked about in Too much coding blog. This time it will be my opinion on two subjects

• the more and more frequent "it's not my problem" approach in the IT industry running in a corporation. 
• the "business value" frenzy of the management

This article is definitely not a motivational one. Quite frankly, you might get depressed after reading it. Nonetheless, it's better to know how really corporate life sometimes looks like rather than get hit in the face.

TL;DR : the more you care in a corporate enterprise the worse for you. Eventually some developers will hate your ideas of quality and standards because they are paid to tap the keys. Your management will fire you for not bringing "business value". The faster you embrace it, the better for you - you'll start searching for a new job sooner.

Let's take a closer look at using a Builder to change that situation, together with Hamcrest matchers and Guava Predicates to unit test it.

Let's start off with taking a look at the POJO class.
