No one writes perfect code: even the best developers fall into bad habits and traps. This talk illustrates blind spots and helps you write better code.
It is too easy to get into a coding slump and not realize it. This talk revitalizes your relationship to code, forcing you to rethink some of the things that you take for granted and showing new approaches to solving hard problems. It covers topics that range from improving the overall structure of your code, to the way you write JavaBeans, with lots of examples. Everything in this talk may not be new to you, but I guarantee that you'll see some things that will make you reevaluate the way you think about your code.
The presentation is here.
