Always code as if the guy who ends up maintaining your code will be a violent psychopath who knows where you live.

John Woods

Any fool can write code that a computer can understand. Good programmers write code that humans can understand.

Martin Fowler

If you think it's simple, then you have misunderstood the problem.

Bjarne Stroustrup

Most of you are familiar with the virtues of a programmer. There are three, of course: laziness, impatience, and hubris.

Larry Wall

Intelligence is the ability to avoid doing work, yet getting the work done.

Linus Torvalds

Adding manpower to a late software project makes it later.

INFO

Companies here are not mentioned by name. This is by design and deliberate.

Firstly, exceedingly few of these companies are famous, and knowing their names adds no value whatsoever in terms of information.

Secondly, a more useful description of my work experience would be the portfolio of the company and my duties within that company. If you absolutely must know what the names of the companies were, there's always my LinkedIn account.

The views expressed herein are representative of no other than the author's. Technical facts have been reviewed and are believed to be reasonably accurate. This site was built with:
