Reason to serialVersionUID your serializable classes
Quoting Eclipse FAQ: “When classes compiled in Eclipse are written to an object stream, you may not be able to read them back in a program that was compiled elsewhere. Many people blame this on the Eclipse compiler, assuming that it is somehow not conforming properly to spec. In fact, this can be a problem [...]

Code without automated tests is like using bricks without cement
Just today morning in Tallinn a whole wall of a brand-new building just fell down! Update: The building was not new and it fell because there is a road reconstruction very nearby. This made me think that automated unit-tests can save at least your soul. As soon as there is a bit more complex code [...]
Your plan is worthless without The Impulse
I’ve never before experienced how important is impulse on any kind of plan execution. I might have a perfect plan and it’s like an engine. And that’s it!

No music, no e-books
I can’t buy e-books from amazon.com because I live outside of U.S. I can’t buy monthly subscription to listen full-quality launchcast radio because I live outside of U.S. and U.K. What is my option? CD-store? I’m willing to pay $5/mo to listen as much and whatever I want. Fair enough, in average I would buy [...]
