TMC asked the community to name the movers and shakers in enterprise Java.
Then a lot of discussions ensued on who fits where into a deck of cards, where each suite has a different meaning (see below). It was kinda fun to do, and should of course be taken with a pinch of salt (whether you are the 4 or 5 of clubs doesn’t mean anything :) ).
One fun part is that the jokers are Hani and Marc Fleury. Playing cards with this deck will be fun!
