@Value annotation allows you to inject either values or results of expression into fields or even methods and constructors. Spring has several mechanisms to deal with configuration and dependency inject. IMHO for Services is more them fine to use all these features, however for libraries we need to be extremely careful and I would say you don't want to use any of these capabilities. We also need to be careful about versioning properties inside jars, especially for libraries. It's very easy to get unpredictable behavior. So great powers require great responsibility and thinking beyond anything I made a video showing some of this feature and also some simple POC - so let's get started!

Estimates are lies, estimates are not reliable. It's super common to have companies doing estimates completely wrong. There is no way to do estimates right, however there are ways they can be even worse than usual like: A) Having managers doing estimating for engineers. B) Not accounting holidays, Refactorings and Bugs. C) Not comparing working items D) Ignoring variation: Different sizes, complexities, technologies, needs. E) Not understand when the system is stable or not. Very often estimates are done before the project or product start and where variation and uncertain is sky high. When we take a look into PMI, which is based on bridges and buildings we still see buildings and bridges with extreme delays, extreme over budget and poo quality. If this is true for construction engineering why the hell would not be true for software engineering where we barely have 50 years of experience as a industry compared with the +2K years in construction engineering.
