The last puzzler is a proof that Courier New is an awful font for programming.

very nice examples.

As illustrated the problems you get with generics don't merit their usage and made a simple and clear language unnecessary complicated and obscure.

If generic code needed its better to use a dynamic language in my opinion.

Sorry for the weird URL formatting: that's the only way that YouTube will let us post the comment.

31:30 I am surprised that the Java language and compiler allow you to pretend to override a method when in fact you are not overriding anything. I.e. it lets you think that you can override foo(Object[] array) with foo(String[] array), but you can't as those are not compatible signatures. The bridge method thing seems dangerous... I wonder where else similar things happen.

You can't see it in the video, but at 9:30 Josh was making the L above his own head.
