I can write a Spring Boot app from zero to a fully functional API interface to the database in one day. Really less time, but that includes unit and integration testing. The front end that will consume that API is another matter so I won't pretend I could do that. Obviously getting this to production won't happen in a day or two. Are you saying the nature of Java itself makes this impossible, and something about Typescript makes it doable? The thing is, a REST API is a solved problem. If you let me use what I know, it'll get done quite fast. If I believed you and went all in on your stack, will you be happy then? Can I master it and feel some kind of self worth in what I do for a living, or will it all be thrown out the window when the next Typescript comes along?

The business customer wants the dashboard now. Today. If they could push a button and have it, they would. I assume "I want it now" sounds unreasonable to you. So why does "I want it next week" not sound unreasonable? If you can do it by next week in Typescript, you can stay up an extra hour or two every night and have it in three days. I'm guessing you draw the line somewhere.

You're right, this has nothing to do with Java. Spring Boot and other modern Java stacks are quite great and very productive actually, as you already know quite well.
