Walk the Path--How JBoss Happened

An airhacks.fm conversation with Marc Fleury (@docfleury) about: ZX 81 with the rubber keys and 14 years, writing the Death Mission game, sneaking out at night to develop games, the great Apple 2, rediscovering computers during the physics study, simulating lasers on Vax and C, internet over physics at MIT, in the 1990s studying software engineering was waste of time, interest in quantum entanglement, working with Java, SUN and SAP, JBoss was architected by Rickard Öberg, learning Java in 4 years after physics study, working as support engineer at Sun Microsystems, becoming Java evangelist at Sun Microsystems as an accident, nobody wanted to hire a PhD, the birth of JBoss, spending time at SAP research with Hasso Plattner, trying to apply WebLogic to SAP, Sun Microsystems and WebLogic rejected Marc, Marc started an opensource project called: EJBOSS, a letter from Sun lawyers, AOP and EJB were invented at the same time, meta programming and aspect oriented approaches are older than Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP), JBoss is implementation of the AOP architectural ideas, AOP happens also in nature, viruses can program the system without inheritance, EJB 1 was a piece of sh*t, Sun's standards efforts is what industry needed, crazy Rickard Öberg was an alien, opensource internet is the remedy, internet is from the planet to the planet, entering the École Polytechnique - a "special forces" time, opensource had to be free, JBoss was professional opensource, between IBM, SUN and the opensource fanboys, professional opensource: POS -> Piece of Sh*t, AWS in 1997 - 10 years too early, Scott Stark made a distributable product, "walk the path" mantra, Sascha Labourey wrote the JBoss clustering JBoss was developed in the first year by 10 people, great software started with small teams, increasing the team size can decrease the motivation and fun, why JBoss was sold, WildFly version 20 came out, studying system biology, learning about finance, how to keep money as investor, studying music and enjoying techno, working with professor of percussion who worked with Karlheinz Stockhausen, writing Monte Carlo simulations with Java 8 for fun, Java 15 fibers and project Loom, Robert G. Pickel worked for Gemstone, founding: twoprime.io Two Prime FF1 Token - the product was launched at the worst possible day, working with Alexander S. Blum coding keeps you young, writing physics simulations with Java, JBoss vs. WildFly, JBoss vs. Quarkus, shared deployments in microservice and cloud era, invoking the angels an linux diamonds, Marc Fleury on twitter: @docfleury and Marc's company: twoprime.io / @Two_Prime
