"Write error messages as though they'll be read by someone who's tired, pissed off, and has no idea how the code in question works. Because eventually, the person reading that error message will be you."

Effective Java by Joshua Bloch:

"Defensive copying of parameters is not just for immutable classes. Anytime you write a method or constructor that enters a client-provided object into an internal data structure, think about whether the client-provided object is potentially mutable. If it is, think about whether your class could tolerate a change in the object after it was entered into the data structure. If the answer is no, you must defensively copy the object and enter the copy into the data structure in place of the original."
