[STackoverflow]: What's your most controversial programming opinion?
- damian2000 14y agoNice list ... here's the top ten in order ... - Programmers who don't code in their spare time for fun will never become as good as those that do. - The only "best practice" you should be using all the time is "Use Your Brain". - "Googling it" is okay! - Most comments in code are in fact a pernicious form of code duplication. - XML is highly overrated. - Not all programmers are created equal. - I fail to understand why people think that Java is absolutely the best "first" programming language to be taught in universities. - If you only know one language, no matter how well you know it, you're not a great programmer. - Performance does matter. - Print statements are a valid way to debug code.
