"Based on Spring" is not Spring. I worked there for a bit, they called it Sparta, and its appeal to the top tech brass was they could restrict which objects are available for use in the library they provided for you. The subtle message behind it was, we can hire anyone as long as we limit what they can do.

That's atrocious.

One thing I'll never understand is how companies get so hungry for developers that they subconsciously admit to hiring amateurs: "well, Joe can't do too much damage!"

Thanks, I stand corrected. Sounds heinous.
