Java Profilers - Which One Are You Using?
splitPersonality asks: "Our Java programmers are researching various profilers to use in-house. We would appreciate some feedback from other shops that are using Java profilers. Along with the specific product, would you please include reasons behind your choice? If you now have misgivings about the one you or your shop chose, please let me know about those, as well."
Arrgh! I can't stand it when people refer to a company as a "shop" (especially when used to refer to software develeopment companies)! Really, it just sounds utterly stupid, like corporate trying so hard to be cool. I hear it all the time "oh, we we're a Java shop", "yeah, I hear they are an all Linux shop". It's irritating, unnessecary, not very descriptive and just plain stupid. Cut it out people!
