Handling Curveball Questions is very important to crack Interviews!
You’ve nailed the tech rounds, and suddenly the interviewer throws a curveball:
👉 “What’s your favorite Java feature?” 👉 “What would you change in Java if you could?” 👉 “How do you stay up-to-date with Java?”
These aren’t textbook questions — they’re meant to test depth, authenticity, and how you think beyond code.
Below are some of the example responses:
1) Favorite Java Feature? The Stream API. It changed how we write and reason about data processing — bringing functional style, better readability, and performance with parallel streams.
2) One thing you'd change? Stronger native support for immutable collections, like Guava’s. Java's List.of() is a start, but the ecosystem deserves more expressive immutability tools.
3) How do you stay current with Java developments? I follow OpenJDK mailing lists, participate in guilds, read JEPs, play with preview features, and contribute to OSS — it keeps my skills fresh and relevant.
These questions don’t have “right” answers. Use them to highlight your thinking, preferences, and growth mindset.
Sir please make a video on fully backend deployable project using (Spring, Spring data jpa , Spring Boot, spring MVC, spring rest, spring security, microservices+spring cloud)
