Software Wisdom
Recurring principles that guide my daily work.
“A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.”
“As an evolving program is continually changed, its complexity increases unless work is done to maintain or reduce it.”
“Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.”
“When you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail.”
“Clean code is readable. It tells a story.”
