Programming Law

Post by pickle »

From fortune

Gray's Law of Programming:
`n+1' trivial tasks are expected to be accomplished in the same time as `n' tasks.

Logg's Rebuttal to Gray's Law:
`n+1' trivial tasks take twice as long as `n' trivial tasks.
Real programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.
