on YouTube ↗51m

" summary

Presents ~100 Java one‑file snippets that run with no Maven, no Gradle and just javac and Visual Studio Code; demos include running Java as a shell script, single‑file execution, a file‑watch hot‑reload, scheduled thread pools for timer jobs, clipboard copy/clean utilities, colorful ANSI logging, JWT decoding via Base64, creating a stripped custom runtime with jdeps/jlink (Genesis), quick CSV and temp‑folder helpers, and a small clipboard washer — all shown live and working as runnable examples.
