Who can wait quietly while the mud settles?
Who can remain still until the moment of action?

Write code that is easy to delete, not easy to extend.

Some people, when confronted with a problem, think ‘I know, I’ll use regular expressions.’ Now they have two problems.

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.

[...] the question of whether Machines Can Think [...] is about as relevant as the question of whether Submarines Can Swim.

Below the surface of the machine, the program moves. Without effort, it expands and contracts. In great harmony, electrons scatter and regroup. The forms on the monitor are but ripples on the water. The essence stays invisibly below.

We think we are creating the system for our own purposes. We believe we are making it in our own image... But the computer is not really like us. It is a projection of a very slim part of ourselves: that portion devoted to logic, order, rule, and clarity
