Are you doing much concurrent programming? I attended some of the concurrency talks at the NFJS conference and I'm using a mix of the old synchronized and the new(ish) java.util.concurrent classes. I'm interested in a discussion about the usage and decisions about when one is better than the other.
Happy 10th year, JCertif!

By Daniel CurtisPresentation: The Infrastructure Challenge Behind Production AI
The panelists explain the realities of running AI systems reliably at scale. While building models is solved, maintaining production databases under constant pressure is not. They discuss the emerging architectural decisions separating teams that scale gracefully from those facing catastrophic outages, and what engineering leaders must rethink today.
