Nihilist Software Engineering: * No code runs faster than no code. * No code has fewer bugs than no code. * No code uses less memory than no code. * No code is easier to understand than no code. * No code is the best way to have secure and reliable applications. Write nothing; deploy nowhere. * "One of my most productive days was throwing away 1,000 lines of code." -- Ken Thompson * "The cheapest, fastest, and most reliable components are those that aren’t there." -- Gordon Bell * "Deleted code is debugged code." -- Jeff Sickel
