What are the consequences of immutable classes with references to mutable classes? Re: "A Class isn't truly immutable if any of this children references aren't immutable as well", I don't think that's quite true. It depends on the semantics of the class and how it actually uses the non-immutable object. It may be OK for an "immutable" DocumentResultSet to have references to mutable Document objects, as long as those references are final. |

Working with fubar/refuctored code At the same time, it's worth remembering that a lot of crazy-looking code makes a bit more sense when you understand how it came to be. Perhaps the customer just couldn't make up their mind, or perhaps it needed to be compatible with something else which is now gone, or a certain library which would've made it super-easy isn't on the production machines, and they didn't have QA bandwidth for it, etc. |

Gathering application architecture I'd spend a bit more time considering what's really required versus what is nice to have. In particular, what kind of speed/accuracy does the system need? You might want to look at existing projects like Cacti or Nagios. |

How can we maximize our value and get paid? I18N might be a useful speciality in Hong Kong. Sure, English is still the lingua franca (hah!) there, but it's enough of an international hub... |

How do I deal with analysis paralysis? I think the idea behind "throw away" isn't that you lose data, but that you shouldn't use prototypes as the foundation for a program since the whole point of prototypes is to experiment with the freedom to make mistakes. |

What to put in a try/catch? Regarding logging, I've been very happy with the SLF4J compatibility layer. |
