Read dialog bellow:

Mariana: Hey Carlos, what's up? How are things going with the new project?

Carlos: All good, but pretty hectic! We're in the middle of a major refactoring, trying to migrate the legacy code to a Clean Architecture. It's a lot of work at first, but we know the code becomes much more testable and easier to maintain later on.

Mariana: For sure. Applying DDD concepts and properly separating the business rules is a lifesaver in the long run. What version of Java are you guys using over there?

Carlos: We're taking advantage of the project to update everything to Java 21. Actually, my routine has been pretty exhausting because I'm balancing project deliveries with my daily studies for the OCP certification.

Mariana: Wow, the Oracle exam is tough! Have you been focusing on any specific area in your studies?

Carlos: I've been taking a lot of mock exams and solving questions from the foundational blocks to catch the trick questions on the test. But it's worth it; the depth of knowledge you gain about the language is insane.

Mariana: Way to go. Good luck with your studies and the architecture refactoring! If you need someone to bounce ideas off regarding ports and adapters, let me know.

Carlos: Thanks, Mariana! I'll hold you to that. Take care!
