OffHeap 70. Buy, Sell, Or Skip! Looking at NFTs (forever code, and ransom in Open Source!)
Description
There are times when there's something in tech that starts brewing, and creating huge waves. We are just going through those times with Bitcoins and now the newly created Non-Fungible-Tokens (or NFT for short). If you have been surrounded by "bored apes", or "lucky goats" and wanted to understand what NFTs are (or aren't), then take a listen! In addition we revisit the big npm-libs-colors debacle on which an open source contributor single-handedly sent the javascript world scrambling as he poisoned-pill his own work (what does it mean to rely on open source dependencies from individual contributors?). It's a tough topic because we are really built most of our technology on open source.

Yes! So we are back at THE best conference for Java in the US (DevNexus!) to record a live episode! We had Andy and Sascha talk to us about Quantum security and where the world is heading (spoilers, we better address our security before the quantum boogeyman shows up).
In all, like all DevNexus...

Hopefully we are all rested and ready to tackle this 2024. There is already a ton going on with AI, but front and center has been the current job market news (it's dire). Even so, when a new door closes, a new (shiny AI-ish) door opens.
Here we dive into what it means to be an java developer in...
