I am too!

I just heard that if you sit on your hands, then you are less likely to make rash moves in chess. I suppose the same cannot be said for coding...

Hahaha! Yeah, it could look like DZone lately - "I see dead people...and jQuery and JS frameworks"

Hahaha, will do my best!

Hi, Oliver here (the report's author). Actually, we specifically stayed away from contacting JRebel users simply to avoid any additional bias. Our charity approach (each completed survey donated to a charity that brings video games to kids in hospitals) that we didn't need to promote it as heavily to our own contact. We spread the word successfully through contacting RebelLabs subscribers, VirtualJUG and London Java Community (LJC) members and individuals in the industry. That said, there are certainly some JRebel users in there, although we didn't ask specifically.

The most advanced countries over the last 20 years have worse internet speeds and policies than financially distress nations without many resources. Irony at work?

Monsanto will cross-breed these immediately, right? :-D

So true. But they should be. One of the camps will have to cross sides--either designers learn how to code in half a dozen languages (unlikely) developers learn to appreciate beauty, layout, design and other UX elements that matter (likely). So, pick one! :-D

JiteScript is a cool add-on to ASM for cutting down some lines of code for your bytecode shenanigans.

This is Jenkins Job Hell, not hating your actual job. But wait, you're coders! You love your jobs, right?

I'd recommend Twitter and Atlassian HQs if you can swing it.

Haha, WAT?!!

This goes all the way back to Uncle Bob Martin!

Thanks, will check this out. But it's kinda like taking the antidote from the poisoner :-D

Yep, definitely using keyboard shortcuts almost exclusively. My problem is simply having too many open tabs that "I need".

Would like to have seen this delivered in person, is there is video version available?

These guys do it really well. I recommend them--looks awesome on mobile too! We made this one, just so you can see: https://rebellabs.typeform.com/to/BTGaVf

a good overview about using monads in Java 8, even non-techs can get an understanding.

Wordpress was recently described by a developer in my company as "it just feels so annoying, like running through the forest". Although, it's still better than many...

I'll rephrase it (but it's more than 80 chars): "If you haven't already ditched Java applets, you should have" ;-)

Increased visibility. That's why people post things here right? ;-)

Huh--why would newbies get the added benefits?

Hahaha, excellent reference to the guy who is referenced in Breaking Bad.

Even though there is tons of evidence suggesting that DevOps is clearly advantageous over the traditional approach to releases, it seems like organization just like to say they'll implement DevOps "next year"...

It's cool that you can combine the strengths of different frameworks in Java and get the benefits of both worlds!

Haha, first pull request activated! https://github.com/shelajev/opportunistic-logger/pull/1

Totally fair point--I'm looking into Python for similar reasons...what would a business guy know about Java syntax anyway? ;-)

Good article--major problem for dev environments!
