Never, never, never use silly headlines for interesting submissions (or at least less often :-)

keep in mind sometimes "too object oriented" can be a bad thing.

voted up for "SCHWEINEBACKE". At least I'm not the only one including little insults into test data. (Which will then somehow find their way into production systems *sigh*)

Voted down for everything about the post. :)

Sometimes there are good ideas emerging from real life situations. They have a spirit, a purpose, a meaning, all related to the context they were born in... And then, some time after that, somebody who doesn't understand the concept or doesn't know anything about the original context but likes the idea for some reason decides to transform it into a DOGMA... and then people who don't obey are punished or, in our case, they miss an interview for arbitrary reasons.
There is a time and place for almost any idea, the context matters most. While I don't fully disagree with the post, the dogmatic tone and the interview references make me vote this post down.

Seems like too much work to give Java named argument parameters, which seems to be what he's really after.

Voted down because it's a textbook example of overengineering. I'm really supposed to create a FirstName object to wrap a String? Using a variable called firstName isn't enough? If a developer is dumb enough to screw that one up, then he's dumb enough to put a last name in a FirstName object. :-/

JavaDoc is out of fashion now? voted down.
