There's only really one metric to me for future software development, which is — do you write less code to get the same thing done?
Bill Gates
Nobody should start to undertake a large project. You start with a small _trivial_ project, and you should never expect it to get large.
Linus Torvalds
There is an unacknowledged war that goes on every day in the world of programming. It is a war between the humans and the computer scientists. It is a war between those who want simple, sloppy, flexible, human ways to write code and those who want clean, crisp, clear, correct ways to write code. It is the war between PHP and С++/Java.
