I think that a lot of programmers are ignoring an important point when people talk about reducing code repetition on large projects. Part of the idea is that large projects are intrinsically *wrong*. That you should be looking at making a number of smaller projects that are composable, even if you never end up reusing one of those smaller projects elsewhere. -- Dan Nugent

Premature optimization is the root of all evil (or at least most of it) in programming. -- Donald Knuth

Don't stay in bed, unless you can make money in bed. -- George Burns

If it keeps up, man will atrophy all his limbs but the push-button finger. -- Frank Lloyd Wright

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. -- Alan Kay

The only problems we can really solve in a satisfactory manner are those that finally admit a nicely factored solution. -- E. W. Dijkstra, The humble programmer

All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them. ~Walt Disney

You must expect great things of yourself before you can do them. ~Michael Jordan

Success does not consist in never making mistakes but in never making the same one a second time. ~George Bernard Shaw

I didn’t fail the test. I just found 100 ways to do it wrong. –Benjamin Franklin
