Good question! Though, SB2 is supported until Nov. '23 (see https://spring.io/blog/2022/05/24/preparing-for-spring-boot-...). We definitely plan to be upgraded by then.

Not that complicated, really. I'm part of Picnic now for quite a while. That's the 'we'. Of course I've discussed the origin story as used in the post at length with my close colleagues who were there from the beginning. Also, I'm very much part of the current choice not to migrate to e.g. Kotlin based on such discussions. So yes, this is our story which we want to share widely. It comes up every now and then, so now we have something to point people to. Didn't expect this to get picked up by HN, though!

Thanks, I guess? FYI, I joined Picnic in 2019, long after this choice had been (independently) made.

Sounds like a very interesting setup! Is there a blog post or something similar with more details?

In general, the Learning Paths give a good high-level overview of what's available: https://www.pluralsight.com/product/paths

As a Pluralsight author [1], I'm delighted to see the course library widely available this month!

That would be a new device to buy, since I'm using the original Chromecast. But I see your point about the upside of this bundling strategy, it just wasn't enough to win me over.

Good question. Just got an offer to sign up for a free year, after buying and activating a new iPhone. Unlikely to take them up on it, since it won't work with my existing Chromecast attached to my not-so-smart TV. I'm not interested in buying another device just to be able to stream Apple TV+. Likely many people are in a similar situation.
