Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.

Theory is when you know something, but it doesn’t work. Practice is when something works, but you don’t know why. Programmers combine theory and practice: Nothing works and they don’t know why.

"The code you write makes you a programmer. The code you delete makes you a good one. The code you don't have to write makes you a great one." - Mario Fusco

Programmers: Always use descriptive variable names

Mathematicians: Single letter variable names always, ideally from obscure/dead alphabets

The Life of a Project

Eagleson's Law: Any code of your own that you haven't looked at for six or more months might as well have been written by someone else.

Weeks of coding can save you hours of planning.

Deleted code is debugged code.

Programming isn't about what you know; it's about what you can figure out.

Every great developer you know got there by solving problems they were unqualified to solve until they actually did it.

Programming isn't about what you know; it's about what you can figure out.

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

When your hammer is C++, everything begins to look like a thumb.
