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

Programs must be written for people to read, and only incidentally for machines to execute.

The most disastrous thing that you can ever learn is your first programming language.

Measuring programming progress by lines of code is like measuring aircraft building progress by weight.

First, solve the problem. Then, write the code.

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

The only way to learn a new programming language is by writing programs in it.

Talk is cheap. Show me the code.

Perfection (in design) is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but rather when there is nothing more to take away.

If you automate a mess, you get an automated mess.
