Nick @palmer is a software polyglot but he knows that there's nothing like #Java. He is a part of the @LMAX team, and at #geecon he will share lessons learned from one of the corporate's projects. Come and learn about determinedly deterministic determinism 2023.geecon.org/speakers/inf…

A great example of why you can't use a volatile as a replacement for a fence. github.com/openjdk/jcstress/…

When naming things like tables, always future proof
If you sell wine, calling a table “wines” will be confusing when expanding to beer
“Beverages” will be confusing when you sell ice
“Products” confusing when expand to services
recommend tables be called “stuff” or “table1”
