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,
