Small tech-talk about adopting non-null by default strategy in Java projects, enabling that with annotations and controlling with SpotBugs. The talk was conducted in 2017 in the company that I've worked back then. Some things have already changed in Java world since then:
- FindBugs is now SpotBugs.
- Instead of creating our own annotation with `TypeQualifierDefault`, we can just use `javax.annotation.ParametersAreNonnullByDefault` which is already present in JSR-305
