Typeless Writing in a Strong Typed World
summary
Argues Java developers can stop hand-declaring boilerplate by driving development from tests while letting the IDE generate classes, fields, constructors and imports; builds a small TaskManager with a Task model, a DAO mocked via Mockito and JUnit4 tests and uses IntelliJ live quick fixes to create missing types on the fly. Demonstrates a pragmatic cheat: IDE quick-fixes plus use mocks and JUnit4 lets tests drive implementation, and when unrelated compilation errors block incremental runs he switches to Eclipse compiler to run the focused test suite anyway.
