#JavaTuesdayThread
I’ve been patiently waiting for JEP 429 publishing with my fingers crossed for quite a while since JEP 425 appeared in a public space (although my story with Project Loom is longer than you can imagine). So, today’s topic is - extent-local variables. #Java When we started talking about virtual threads the question we've been asked is whether virtual threads are like the old ones. The answer was YES, however, some techniques used to organize the data flow around platform threads may not be valid (but working) for virtual threads.

Yesterday I explained you how a war in Ukraine will affect Europe in terms of food.

Today I will explain you how it will affect your comfort [thread]: I’d you didn’t know - Ukraine average per hour rate is pretty low comparing to European. That’s why we do lots of outsourcing businesses. We have thousands of smart engineers who do work for US/EU businesses.

The reason why I love and hate #Kubernetes is it actually good platform to host scalable apps. But the road from developing the app to making it scalable is so painful.
