We have a spring boot app and have always used logback access logging, but logback no longer plays nice with Jetty and the timeline for when that will be fixed is unclear.

What do people use for java/spring boot apps for this and do you like it?

I have a coworker who really harps on functional programming. To me the block of .map(x).ifelseget().etc() is so much harder to read than defining and mutating variables, if/switch statements, and loops. Also, if you get a stack trace, the line number doesn't really tell you much if you are doing 4 things on a single line.

I have always wondered this since I have been confronted with it, but in an interview recently I was given a light docking for not using functional programming. Why is it better?

I know my manager is going to push a cert as part of my goals again this year. Last year I did AWS Certified Solutions Architect and got a lot out of what I learned.

Criteria for "mean something" are: 1. Learning helpful things 2. Meaningful on a resume

I have observed that most companies don't offer their leave benefits until you have a year of service at the company. Also, companies don't really advertise the specifics of their policies publicly.

What are some companies that offer leave before you hit that year tenure for both maternity and paternity?

EDIT: I meant the US when asking this
