Tip for quicker coding in IntelliJ

Did you know that with IntelliJ you can use Live Templates, to quickly insert predefined snippets of code. This can speed up your coding...

All you have to do is create templates for anything that you want, assign an abbreviation to it and the editor will do the rest for you just by typing the abbreviation.
Here an screen that shows, where in the IDE you can find this feature:

  

This is a cool one I like very much. You just type 'test' then hit tab and you will get a cool fresh test method :)

 @Test  
 public void $END$() throws Exception {  
 }   

Fore more detailed info about live templates, you can read this nice article at JavaCodeGeeks.com

If you could pick a superpower what would it be?

The other day at lunch time I had a very interesting conversation with my fellow colleagues.

We were talking about which superpower would be the most awesome to have.

Invisibility vs flying vs mind reading vs time warp vs cobol vs walking through walls vs metamorphosis vs immortality...

There are so many superpowers to pick its difficult to decide which one is the best and most awesome.

I think that pretty much we all agreed that it would depend on which situation you are in.

That evening going back home by London's tube via central line, the huge crowd made me wish I coulda teleport.

I was meditating about this and I came to the conclusion that teleportation could probably be a bit risky(I yet don't know london very well and I didn't want to land in the wrong place so I gave up that idea). I changed my mind and a wished I could travel time, to go back have a little walk and take a tube latter when less people at the station.

We could think about the ilities of software as our system's superpowers.

You know what I am talking about right?(If no click this link)

Do you think is there one that can allow you to travel time?

The answer is Yes! there is one.

In this screencast I will show you the advantages time traveling can have for your software and your company and also I will show you how to prepare your software for time traveling when things get ugly.
