The Tao of Programming by Geoffrey James
4.0
Something mysterious is formed, born in the silent void. Waiting alone and unmoving, it is at once still and yet in constant motion. It is the source of all programs. I do not know its name, so I will call it the Tao of Programming.
Thus spake the master programmer:
“When you have learned to snatch the error code from the trap frame, it will be time for you to leave.”
“When the program is being tested, it is too late to make design changes.”
“A well-written program is its own heaven; a poorly-written program is its own hell.”
“Though a program be but three lines long, someday it will have to be maintained.”
“Let the programmers be many and the managers few - then all will be productive.”
“Without the wind, the grass does not move. Without software, hardware is useless.”
“It is time for you to leave.”
Truly, this is the Tao of Programming.
