The Imperial report on the new UK B117 strain is out. Very concerning findings, that highlight why we need to act on this *now*. These findings suggest that the situation within the UK is likely to get much worse than it is now. Here's why- Thread.

I was able to get this sample web app down to 20mb in memory and 40mb of Docker image (Alpine and jlink'ed runtime). And that is still getting all the benefits of the JVM for high throughput (e.g. GC, JIT), and writing same old Java code. Not bloated. And not even GraalVM AOT.

Things to look for in a code review: Code is... - Well designed - Readable by others - Doing what the author intended - No more complex than needed - Not degrading system code health - Commented with the why vs. what - Appropriately tested - Sufficiently documented

It is more important for code to be changeable than that it work. Code that does not work, but that is easy to change, can be made to work with minimum effort. Code that works but that is hard to change will soon not work and be hard to get working again.
