Normally i dont like interviews too much but this one with Brian Goetz is definitely a must. I really admire Brian's articles, they are definitely among the best java articles published in the internet and this for a long time. See his column on DeveloperWorks for instance. Many people should read this because again he is trying to tell people not to worry about object creation too much and what to avoid when doing performance optimization. For people reading Brian's articles there is not much new in the interview but as most probably dont them, its a valuable read. Finally someone who is speaking out loud that its not a good idea to try to outsmart the VM and expect more performance with clever coding tricks. And i also like the way he tries to stop people optimizing pretty normal code while forgetting that most of the time is probably spent in areas like SQL queries or XML binding. I definitely agree with him on every topic.
