Good and Bad usage of Lombok
Lombok is a really nice tool that helps us to write less code and helps us to concentrate more on our actual work. It is more about how you use Lombok in your project. I see good and bad usage of Lombok. What Is Lombok Lombok is a Java library that reduces the boilerplate code in our classes. You add some annotations and Lombok generate codes for you at the compile-time.

If annotation processors generate new source or class files, the compilation process goes into the first steps and
