If debugging is the process of removing bugs, then programming must be
the process of putting them in.

Lisp is a programmable programming language.

While I’ve always appreciated beautiful code, I share Jonathan’s concern
about studying it too much. I think studying beauty in music and
painting has led us to modern classical music and painting that the
majority of us just don’t get. Beauty can be seen when it emerges, but
isn’t something to strive for in isolation of a larger context. In the
software world, the larger context would be the utility of the software
to the end user.

The problem is that Microsoft just has no taste. And I don't mean that
in a small way, I mean that in a big way.

All non-trivial abstractions, to some degree, are leaky.

If we wish to count lines of code, we should not regard them as lines
produced but as lines spent.

He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on
the righteous and the unrighteous.

I’d rather write programs to write programs than write programs.

Don't worry about what anybody else is going to do. The best way to
predict the future is to invent it.

Getting back to failing early, I've learned it's important to completely
fail. Get fired. Shoot the project, then burn its corpse. Melt the CVS
repository and microwave the backup CDs. When things go wrong, I've
often tried to play the hero from start to finish. Guess what? Some
projects are doomed no matter what. Some need skills I don't possess.
And some need a fresh face.

All problems in computer science can be solved by another level of
indirection.

La tactique, c'est ce que vous faites quand il y a quelque chose à
faire; la stratégie, c'est ce que vous faites quand il n'y a rien à
faire.

To do something well you have to love it. So to the extent you can
preserve hacking as something you love, you're likely to do it well. Try
to keep the sense of wonder you had about programming at age 14. If
you're worried that your current job is rotting your brain, it probably
is.
-- Paul Graham.
I have never met a man so ignorant that I couldn't learn something from
him.

For complex systems, the compiler and development environment need to be
in the same language that its supporting. It's the only way to grow
code.

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

We fail to realize that mastery is not about perfection. It's about a process,
a journey. The master is the one who stays on the path day after day, year after
year. The master is the one who is willing to try, and fail, and try again, for
as long as he or she lives.
-- George Leonard, Mastery.
La haine est une liqueur précieuse, un poison plus cher que celui des
Borgia, - car il est fait avec notre sang, notre santé, notre sommeil,
et les deux tiers de notre amour! Il faut en être avare!
-- Charles Baudelaire, Conseils aux jeunes littérateurs.
Mastering isn’t a survival instinct; it’s an urge to excel. Mastering is
one of the experiences that delineates us from animals. It is striving
to be more tomorrow than we are today; to perfectly pitch the ball over
home plate; to craft the perfect sentence in an article; to open the
oven and feel the warm, richly-scented cloud telling you dinner is going
to be absolutely extraordinary. We humans crave perfection, to be
masters of our domain, to distinguish ourselves by sheer skill and
prowess.

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.
