Are you a developer, Have you seen it?
Simon Ritter at the VirtualJug–> Project Lambda https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Std4TEmBdTM
You should see it, and then talk to your boss. Lambda’s the thing that could convince your boss to finally update the JVM from anything lower then 8 to 8 !!! (If you convince him/her right)

In 2013 I attended the Devoxx Conference, the last 3 days. Going to both the university and conference causes topic redundancy that, in my case, would result in brainfreeze and lack of attention after 3 days.
The overall Devoxx experience is usually one where I drink coffee from dawn till dusk, pick up some tools, books, jsr’s . Old or new architectural ideas I somehow missed out on during the year and will put to good use in the next year, drink beers in the evening and eat bad food during the day (except for the fruit, that’s good).

Some lone ranger dares to claim it’s good, I pity that rangers and wonder how bad his or her food is at home. Then again, organizing lunch for 3500 people probably isn’t that easy.

I decided to wear em a bit longer till they’re worn off. Somehow I ended up wearing them till they really are broken. See for yourself
You probably think like “What the heck? Why do you wear that?” It’s fairly simple why having broken shoes is great! And there are at least 3 reasons!
