...I’m not saying simple code takes less time to write. You’d think it would since you end up with less total code, but a good solution isn’t an accretion of code, it’s a distillation of it. --Robert Nystrom Perl – The only language that looks the same before and after RSA encryption. --Keith Bostic Always code as if the guy who ends up maintaining your code will be a violent psychopath who knows where you live --John Woods People who are really serious about software should make their own hardware --Alan Kay What kind of programmer is so divorced from reality that she thinks she'll get complex software right the first time? --James Alan Gardner It goes against the grain of modern education to teach children to program. What fun is there in making plans, acquiring discipline in organizing thoughts, devoting attention to detail and learning to be self-critical? --Alan J. Perlis
