You know this article is on his website, don't you? His name is the domain name.

Seems unlikely anyone would be writing an article about Java GC, including having coded up benchmarks, without being able to code.



I am just curious. In my 'likely' world, people doing this kind of work have a reputation or a visible history. A live q/a session on the internet could do wonders.


> have a reputation or a visible history

He does - it’s on his website.


Thats not enough for me. I write stuff all day on my or other websites. Who vouches for his work? The guy is secretful. One can not reproduce the benchmark. Why should i trust his results?


> Who vouches for his work?

It's a blog, not a peer-reviewed research paper. The guy is widely known in the JVM community. I'll vouch for his work if you want.
