Yeah, have only ever hit one or two JVM bugs in very rare circumstances - which we usually fixed by upgrading. > Technically you're just outsourcing it :) Hah

Luckily, to developers who are far better at that stuff than the average bear. The recent log4j rigmarole is a great example of what I was describing in JVM dev though - no complicated memory issues involved, definitely not GC related, just developers making decisions using technologies that had very subtle footguns they didn't understand (the capacity to load arbitrary code via LDAP was, AFAIK, very poorly known, if not forgotten, until Log4Shell).
