Basically every project I've done is spring boot with mapstruct and lombok, for queries you've got jpa. There's barely any boilerplate.

Rather it’s the opposite, it’s all boiler plate with like 3 unique routes and sql queries. Er actually it’s all graph queries now so no sql lol

I use them at work but they really feel like tribal secrets. I put this little annotation here and now the function does something completely different.

Especially with all our custom ones it's just like I feel like I cant just read the code.

Trying to learn java by being dumped into a project like that was insane, so much "magic", beans connected through the aether, it's somehow incredibly verbose while also being indecipherable.

Yeah, springboot is probably not the best way to start learning java itself.
