Programming Constructs
1. Programming is like sex: one mistake and you have to support it
for the rest of your life.
2. Real programmers are those that can sleep in front of terminals
with their eyes opened.
3. Real programmers don't work from 9 to 5. If any real programmers
are around at 9am it's because they were up all night.
4. There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is
to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies,
and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no
obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult.
5. A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved
from a simple system that worked.
6. A crash is when your competitor's program dies. When your program
dies, it is an 'idiosyncrasy'. Frequently, crashes are followed
with a message like 'ID 02'. 'ID' is an abbreviation for
idiosyncrasy and the number that follows indicates how many more
months of testing the product should have had.
7. There are two ways to write error-free programs. Only the third
one works.
8. As a rule, software systems do not work well until they have been
used, and have failed repeatedly, in real applications.
9. Real programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to
write, it should be hard to understand.
10. Beware of programmers who carry screwdrivers.
