I really gave Spring Boot a shot, it's just way above my head. Never felt like I had a good sense of knowing what the heck was going on what with all the Beans and annotations. But my Java was pretty poor - that could be the reason. However I never had this difficulty with Rails/Django/Node, they all felt pretty intuitive to me.

It's not your fault. Spring Boot is a trip to hell compared with Rails.
