Ok, so the fun part about being in the Java Ecosystem is that it’s always trying new things, and the interesting new “thing” that seems to be happening is the ability to offload your “JIT” (Just In Time) compilation into the Cloud!

We discuss how this changes (or maybe not?) things, but is interesting to see how we are enhancing our regular “code, build, deploy” to have more complex workflows behind-the-scenes that allow you to become “faster”, and more performant (and ultimately save some Cloud $)

We also comb over the news, with the big NVIDIA / ARM deal falling through, costing around 1.25 billion dollars (insert Dr. Evil theme here) since it was done as a deposit for a successful transaction. Our local curdmudgeon offered his services as an money-holder and arbitrer for future NVidia / ARM contracts! (for a much much smaller sum than 1.25 billion).
