There is no trade-off of quality vs. speed in software. There never has been. Low quality means low speed. Always.

The only way to go fast is to go well.

@aalmiray Καλή αρχή!

@pressron I really appreciate your feedback!

@pressron A common feedback I got and you also point it out is that it is not actually showing a workload that would benefit from the handling of blocks in fibers. I have been pondering if I could apply my original idea to show something on that. I will think on your suggestion with locks.

[Andres Almiray @aalmiray]

And the @ASFMavenProject hacking session at @JCreteUnconf is on its way. Thank you @rfscholte for leading the charge!

[Giorgos Gaganis @ggaganis]

One of the coolest things about #jcrete is it has an environment that helps people feel comfortable and empowered to be part of this, share knowledge and experiences and contribute to the best of their ability.

You will also find below a session I have convened! 🙂 @JCreteUnconf

[Giorgos Gaganis @ggaganis]

On my way to @JCreteUnconf. Super excited! Looking forward to meeting everyone!

[Giorgos Gaganis @ggaganis]

@edefazio I am not sure whether a Fiber implementation would help in these workloads/applications. You need high numbers of blocking threads for the new model to help which I believe these applications do not have.

[Uncle Bob Martin @unclebobmartin]

Never ask permission to refactor. Never ask permission to write tests. You do these things because you KNOW they are the best way to go fast.

When you ask permission, you are asking someone else to take responsibility for your actions.

JVM pro-tip: stop catching OutOfMemoryError. Like seriously. Wtf are you doing. Once the JVM goes OOM, you cannot sanely recover. If you write a library that catches and swallows OOM, double-shame on you.

[Software Gardener @softwaregarden]

Yah the biggest tech event of the city has started preparations for the next step!

[dade! @dadepo]

All over the place, I see:

if (someValue != null) { someValue.someAction(); }

being replaced with:

if (someValue.isPresent()) { someValue.get().someAction();}

This is what happens when new tools get adopted but not the new paradigm that comes with it. 🤷‍♂️
