summary
Concrete examples and measurable gotchas: Java 8 lambdas can make code longer not shorter, a map over 46,000 coffeeshops runs ~0.6s with parallel streams but a findAny becomes parallel stream is 5x slower for findAny, and adopting tech by dumping it into production fails. Shows a successful spike workflow, uses Groovy + Spock to halve test pain and increase testability, recommends internal prototypes, brown‑bags and targeted spikes rather than blind chasing Shiny New Things.
