Ever try moving a man by pushing on his ankles? How about his head? Smart programmers use just enough effort in the right places to get the effect they want.

Ever try moving a man by pushing on his ankles? How about his head? Smart programmers use just enough effort in the right places to get the effect they want. Dumb programmers right a lot of code. The code you never write never breaks, and never needs fixing. I'm starting to realize that if no one else will give a shit - don't do it. Of course, this isn't a free pass to write shitty code. You don't have to be ineffective to take pride in your work.
