I'm a programmer. I like programming. And the best way I've found to have a positive impact on code is to write it. --Robert C. Martin If the steps become to big, they become walls... --Herb Sutter Always code as if the guy who ends up maintaining your code will be a violent psychopath who knows where you live --John Woods What kind of programmer is so divorced from reality that she thinks she'll get complex software right the first time? --James Alan Gardner That's the thing about people who think they hate computers. What they really hate is lousy programmers. --Larry Niven Programming is the art of thinking really hard about how to avoid having to think really hard. --unknown Know the rules well, so you can break them effectively --Dalai Lama XIV There ain't no rules around here. We are trying to accomplish something. --Thomas Edison One knows that debugging is twice as hard as writing a program in the first place. So if you're as clever as you can be when you write it, how will you ever debug it? --Brian Kernighan Not only is this incomprehensible, but the ink is ugly and the paper is from the wrong kind of tree. --Professor W. When in doubt, do something. --Harry Chapin Object-oriented programming offers a sustainable way to write spaghetti code. It lets you accrete programs as a series of patches. --Paul Graham College is a waystation - the last convenience store on the road to life-long responsibility. --Dennis Miller Premature optimization is the root of all evil. --Donald Knuth It's got to be the going not the getting there that's good. --Hary Chapin When they first built the University of California at Irvine they just put the buildings in. They did not put any sidewalks, they just planted grass. The next year, they came back and put the sidewalks where the trails were in the grass. Perl is just that kind of language. It is not designed from first principles. Perl is those sidewalks in the grass. --Larry Wall 'Martyrdom' is the only way a person can become famous without ability. --George Bernard Shaw Progress is possible only if we train ourselves to think about programs without thinking of them as pieces of executable code. --Edsger W. Dijkstra How do you expect to succeed if you do not know the rules? --Anonymous
