The competent programmer is fully aware of the limited size of his own skull. He therefore approaches his task with full humility, and avoids clever tricks like the plague.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The trouble with programmers is that you can never tell what a programmer is doing until it's too late.
Hackers often describe what they do as playfully creative problem solving.
He's very clever, but sometimes his brains go to his head.
No one can resist the idea of a crippled genius.
Genius may have its limitations, but stupidity is not thus handicapped.
The creative individual has the capacity to free himself from the web of social pressures in which the rest of us are caught. He is capable of questioning the assumptions that the rest of us accept.
Programmers can be lazy.
The man with insight enough to admit his limitations comes nearest to perfection.
The three chief virtues of a programmer are: Laziness, Impatience and Hubris.
Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex... It takes a touch of genius - and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction.
