# Risky Business

URL: /show/coder-radio/43/
> The Play Framework has been on Mike’s mind a lot recently. Also known as JavaPlay, an easy way to build web applications with Java and Scala. This week Mike shares what started out as a grand idea, but developed into a major reboot and overhaul of the project. And why in the end, no matter what platform, software stack, or store you choose or avoid is always a risky choice. Plus: How to bounce back from burnout, find new motivation, and get started.
