In the midst of having a spirited discussion with a friend, a handful of quotable quotes came up. I was just presumptuous enough to think it might be interesting to a handful of the nerdly-wise. Enjoy or don't.
"What I've noticed is that the best programmers refactor once. Lousy ones, frequently. Terrible ones, never. "
"The quality of a programmer is not just determined by how quickly and effectively he can write code, but also by how well he understands the implications of the code he has written."
"The quality of the code is determined by how quickly it is debugged, and how frequently it is re-debugged."
"From my perch, methodologies are an attempt at supplying the inexperienced with lessons that come from making mistakes, but without having the freedom to make them."
Some days we just play with our food, other times we build sculpture. More sculpture in our souls lately, I guess.
