When I am not coding I am reading about code. Here is a short list of memerable<\/b> programming quotes I read over the past year about the science and art of software development.

\nNo code is faster than no code.
\nMerb Core Tenent<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nRails is the best framework for the 80\/20 rule out there. It will get you 80% there faster than any framework, but it will fight you tooth and nail for the remaining 205.
\nEzra Zygmuntowicz<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nSoftware: do you write it like a book, grow it like a plant, accrete it like a pearl, or construct it like a building?
\nJeff Atwood<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nEvery time DRM prevents legitimate playback, a pirate gets his wings.
\nNathan Bowers<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nWhat ruby does offer is a more intuitive way of coding. Its form is simple. It’s full of grace. Ruby is succinct. It’s not the messiah of languages though it attracts many messiah-figures and their fanboy prototypes.
\nRenae Blair<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nI do believe I have post-traumatic Java syndrome.
\nRenae Blair<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nThe thesis explicit in Crockford’s book (JavaScript: The Good Parts) and implicit in Conway’s (Perl Best Practices) is that the best way to use a language is to carve out a subset of its functionality that is superior to the whole smorgasbord you have on offer. It’s how people use natural languages, and it’s how a lot of good programmers use programming languages as well.
\nGiles Bowkett<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nFrameworks like Rails make you fast, and Sinatra makes even Rails look slow.
\nGiles Bowkett<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nThe goal is not to establish a far-off goal and find a way to hit it, but to establish a series of tiny, immediate goals that keep you forever moving forward. Aristotle argued that virtue was mostly a matter of having good habits; Lao-Tzu tells us that the voyage of a million miles starts with a single step. So the key is to get moving and keep moving.
\nGiles Bowkett<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nInstead of charging the going rate of $250, we decided to charge $350. Why not? I figured we could establish ourselves as having the premium product simply by charging a premium. In the absence of additional information, consumers often use prices to judge products.

\nThat’s another flaw with performance-based rewards: They are easy for one of your competitors to top.

\nIf you can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t sell your product, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not a product\u00e2\u20ac\u201cit\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a hobby.
\nJason Calacanis<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nI fear \u00e2\u20ac\u201d as far as I can tell \u00e2\u20ac\u201d that most undergraduate degrees in computer science these days are basically Java vocational training.

\nMatt Mullenweg<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
