"Programming isn't about what you know; it's about what you can figure out." – Chris Pine
"If it doesn't work, it doesn't matter how fast it doesn't work." — Mich Ravera
Why do developers confuse Halloween for Christmas? Because OCT31 = DEC25. Merry Christmas!!! 🎄🎁
"In programming the hard part isn’t solving problems, but deciding what problems to solve." - Paul Graham
“Start with something simple and small, then expand over time. If people call it a ‘toy’ you’re definitely on to something.” – Aaron Levie
"The art of debugging is figuring out what you really told your program to do rather than what you thought you told it to do." – Andrew Singer
"The mark of a mature programmer is willingness to throw out code you spent time on when you realize it's pointless." - Bram Cohen
"The most amazing achievement of the computer software industry is its continuing cancellation of the steady and staggering gains made by the computer hardware industry." — Henry Petroski (1942-2023)
"The manager's function is not to make people work, but to make it possible for people to work." – Tom DeMarco

Corollary: My best writing is done when I, a programmer, am supposed to be programming.
"The best programs are the ones written when the programmer is supposed to be working on something else." – Melinda Varian
A tip for writing more: expand your definition of completing a project (any project, no matter how small) to include writing a blog post (or README or similar) that explains that project
This week several of our newsletters will be round-ups looking back over the past year in software/web development. A big thank you to all who have read along with us in 2021. 💌
I love this! It's exactly why #programming is so awesome!
"You create your own little universe, and then it does what you tell it to do." — Vint Cerf on programming
💬 "Don’t be afraid. Take a risk. Focus on the people which are going to help you achieve what you want to achieve, because you're not going to do it alone." — Charles Geschke on entrepreneurship.
@CodeWisdom I searched this quote and found the website of the Alan Turing Institute. Worth a visit turing.ac.uk/blog/what-alan…
@CodeWisdom Programming is an art. - A professor from my college
"Commenting your code is like cleaning your bathroom - you never want to do it, but it really does create a more pleasant experience for you and your guests." - Ryan Campbell (credit: @CodeWisdom)
NO I WILL NOT STOP USING CAPS x.com/_unobvious/sta…
"A good programmer is someone who always looks both ways before crossing a one-way street." _ Doug Linder (Suggested by @CodeWisdom)
Why is bacon packaging not resealable. Get on my fucking nerves.
I think it's really silly how people take subjects they don't know well (like CSS) and create some story about how the thing is unimportant / bad to justify why they don't know it instead of just admitting "I don't know this well! I find it hard!" it's ok to not know things! ❤
@CodeWisdom @Werner Open Source needs more patrons, not mere words of encouragement.
It's my 46th birthday today. All my Apple development work was done in the hexadecimal numbering system!
Oh hey. Happy birthday @stevewoz. You built the tools (& toys) that changed my life. And you’ve been one of my long-standing role models proving that it’s possible to have incredible technical achievement AND great joy in humanity. Thank you!
💬 “The human is more important than the technology. Make things more human.” 🎂 A very happy 70th birthday to Steve Wozniak (@stevewoz). wozbday.com
