Monte Carlo sampling is no way to understand code.
Gordon McMillan (comp.lang.python)
You think you know when you can learn, are more sure when you can write, even more when you can teach, but certain when you can program.
Alan Perlis
Just getting something to work usually means writing reams of code fast, like a Stephen King novel, but making it maintainable and high-quality code that really expresses the ideas well, is like writing poetry. Art is taking away.
Erik Naggum (comp.lang.lisp)
