Boss found this feature in eclipse that will prove useful: I had 20 lines of javascript in a .js file and I wanted to cutpaste it into a string literal in java. String s = "PASTE_IT_HERE"; I figured this out: window -> preferences -> java -> editor -> typing Check: "Escape String when pasting into string literal" Poof, it works. It does incorrectly escape some javascript ( it converts var foo='bar' into var foo=\'bar\' ) so you have to touch up the results. Still, kinda nice. I wish it had been the default editor behavior

## How Do I Know That I'm Not Breaking Anything? Code is resilient and only breaks when we mess with it (or change underlying environment). Humans are primary introducers of bugs in code and code absorbs bugs from humans easily. This chapter discusses a few things to reduce risk when we edit. Some are mechanical but some are psychological. More...

Executive Summary ### Executive Summary * Guage ruby's growth: downloads, visionaries and emerging books * Cornerstone of ruby experience is productivity both short term and long term * Java's risk factors are perceived to be low because of dominant market share. (Me: is perceived the key word here?) * Project risk increases with time and complexity and Java fares poorly with both. * Java is an infrastructure language that's ill suited for many applications More...

Yeah, its difficult but hopefully you can connect it to why programming is fun, if you think it is fun. Greenfield is no better because it replicates the problems without removing the old instances of the problems. Greenfield is not greener. Nothing can replace a good work environment with respectful people who know how to have fun. Don't let the code base get you down. Pick up some small projects to stir things up a bit. If morale is low on your team because of code quality, try getting the ugliest most obnoxious classes under test. This will build oases of good code.
