Words of Wisdom

[Programming] is the only job I can think of where I get to be both an engineer and an artist. There's an incredible, rigorous, technical element to it, which I like because you have to do very precise thinking. On the other hand, it has a wildly creative side where the boundaries of imagination are the only real limitation.

It's easy to cry bug when the truth is that you've got a complex system and sometimes it takes a while to get all the components to co-exist peacefully.

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