I applied for a job at AT&T using CORBA around 1998 and I think that’s the last time I encountered it other than making JDK downloads slower. Didn’t get that job, one of the interviewers asked me to write concurrent code, didn’t like my answer, but his had a race condition in it and I was unsuccessful in convincing him he was wrong. He was relying on preemption not occurring on a certain instruction (or multiprocessing not happening). During my tenure at the job I did take the real flaws in the Java Memory Model would come out and his answer became very wrong and mine only slightly.
