When non-technical people ask what I do, I say, "I write software." It's been the most well-received title I've found. "Software Developer" is too technical and euphemistic, and "Programmer" is a little nebulous, and also pretty technical.

There are ways of avoiding the long compile/deploy cycle in Java development, but most people don't take the time to learn them. Just like there are ways of writing fairly concise, readable Java, but most of the code written day-to-day is g

I've always wanted to write a planetary simulator. I think clojure might be a decent language for it, as long as you avoid floating point as much as possible and use clojure's Ratios class instead. user=> (type (/ 1 3)) clojure.la

Do you use source control? I think this stuff is very cool but I have misgivings about my production code not being in a VCS.

Watch out - double-brace initialization is cool looking, but it's orders of magnitude slower than regular initialization as it must generate an anonymous class. Also, the generated class is put into the permgen space, which is not garbage c
