Software Proverbs

Clear is better than clever. --Rob Pike
Software engineering is what happens to programming when you add time and other programmers. --Russ Cox
Programs must be written for people to read, and only incidentally for machines to execute. --Hal Abelson and Gerald Sussman
The most important skill for a programmer is the ability to effectively communicate ideas. --Gaston Jorquera
Design is the art of arranging code to work today, and be changeable forever. --Sandi Metz
If it’s a core business function — do it yourself, no matter what. --Joel Spolsky
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 --Brian Kernighan

Generally: protoc -flag param:param:param target-file.proto --plugin_flag=key=value,key=value:./dest/

For example: protoc -I .:.. foo.proto --go_out=plugins=grpc,paths=source_relative:.

This means:

Run protoc on foo.proto
Any other proto files in the current directory or the parent directory should be available for import.
Generate a foo.pb.go file for gRPC using protoc-gen-go.

Really good software can be written only by very small groups of very skilled programmers.
Really good software is almost always a labor of love.
Really good software is almost always begun because the author himself needs it; it makes his computer do something that he really wants it to do.
Really good software is never finished; it continues to grow. If it doesn’t grow, it decays.
To evolve into really good software, a program or system must be “hacked at”.
To evolve into really good software and remain good, a program or system must develop an intelligent, adventurous, passionate user community with enough influence to be able to guide its further development.
