With Java 25 virtual threads, async definitely is no longer required and I hope it dies a slow and painful death. We have projects at work that have never more than 3 concurrent users that use rxjava and are a nightmare to work on.

I totally believe pirating is not stealing, but this really is. Tech people are probably the highest paid profession now, you still dont want to pay for your wifi?

I noticed that too. I think tech culture has to change a bit. Silicon Valley is a great location if you're making hardware or prepackaged software. If you have to support a real economy that is mostly on the East Coast you need a prese

One of the reason companies like staying private is that they do not have to provide all the public reporting that listed companies do. You can argue lots of public reporting is a waste of time and possibly gives competitors information the
