Programming Quotes

"Formal education will make you a living. Self-education will make you a fortune."

Code is clean if it can be understood easily – by everyone on the team. Clean code can be read and enhanced by a developer other than its original author. With understandability comes readability, changeability, extensibility and maintainability.

General rules

Follow standard conventions.
Keep it simple stupid. Simpler is always better. Reduce complexity as much as possible.
Boy scout rule. Leave the campground cleaner than you found it.
Always find root cause. Always look for the root cause of a problem.

	[T]he difference between a bad programmer and a
	good one is whether he considers his code or his
	data structures more important. Bad programmers
	worry about the code. Good programmers worry about
	data structures and their relationships.

	Clarity and brevity sometimes are at odds.
	When they are, I choose clarity.
