Join For FreeThis month’s annotated monthly is… not so annotated. The choice was either no annotated monthly at all or a not-very-annotated monthly. I thought there was more value in option 2 than in option 1. However, it does lead to a new game: add witty annotations in the comments. The winner gets to do Java Annotated Monthly for the rest of their life.
