We will encourage you to develop the three great virtues of a programmer: laziness, impatience, and hubris.

Walking on water and developing software from a specification are easy if both are frozen.

If debugging is the process of removing software bugs, then programming must be the process of putting them in.

Always code as if the guy who ends up maintaining your code will be a violent psychopath who knows where you live.

There are only two kinds of programming languages: those people always bitch about and those nobody uses

Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.

When debugging, novices insert corrective code; experts remove defective code.

My definition of an expert in any field is a person who knows enough about what's really going on to be scared.

Any fool can write code that a computer can understand. Good programmers write code that humans can understand.

To iterate is human, to recurse divine.

Sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice.
