When Joshua Bloch speaks, the ground shakes, oceans part, and Java developers fall to their knees and tremble. At least, I do. I think animals get nervous before Josh writes articles.
His latest article on API design is a must-read. I don't think he's written a single word I don't agree with, and this is no exception.
P.S. If you're a Java developer and you don't have Effective Java within arm's reach, consider it a critical-severity bug in your personal development. The Puzzlers are less practical but fun.
