People mental models
summary
Claims that a Java exchange (Elmax) runs with 100% uptime and average latency under 85 microseconds, and uses that to argue Java can be fast enough for low‑latency systems. Recommends deliberate practice like code katas and architecture katas, TDD on Project Euler problems, and coaching loops. Uses the Shuhari and Dreyfus model to map novice→expert stages, warns of “expert beginner” and faking, gives hiring and mentoring tactics (force decisions, expose failures, seek experts) with concrete examples and numbers.
