I’ve had my fair share of Java bugs. There is a stage in a programmer’s career that he or she either knows that they rather manage a convenience store or that they can debug common Java errors just by the way the code smells. Here are my list of worst common Java bugs [...]
In programming circles and when talking about code, I’ve often hear mentioned the Perl slogan “There’s more than one way to do it.” Thinking about the many ways we do it, whatever feature ‘it’ represents, I believe that the root cause of many of the software bugs we encounter are because engineers implement the [...]

In some situations I dislike the verbosity of declaring Java generics.
Map<Key<String, Integer>, List<Item>> m = getItemsMap();

Building Java support into Google App Engine means that they have built it [...]
