I've always been one of the developers at work that people bring their Spring questions to. Usually I just change the logging level and read the errors. Quite often it will tell you what you need to do or give you a good hint at least.

Another "trick" is reading the official documentation. There is a lot of cruft out there, so go straight to the source.

It's really a great framework but they do give you many guns to shoot yourself in the foot with.

So true. The learning curve is quite steep compared to what js and python monkeys use, but spring boot is so powerful and rewarding.

I find your slur offensive; I am more of a great ape.

Most Java engineers I've ever met have Stockholm syndrome with the framework du jour.
