FWIW, this appears to be a misattribution.

- jpadvo 15y agoThanks ggchappell for the correction. In the future I'll run quotes by snopes before using them.
- ggchappell 15y agoIt is, in any case, a nice little saying. I used to have my data structures & algorithms class (back when I taught DS&A) read "On following rules" by Kirit Saelensminde [http://www.kirit.com/On%20following%20rules http://www.kirit.com/On%20following%20rules]. This little saying goes along with it nicely.
