“Always code as if the guy who ends up maintaining your code will be a violent psychopath who knows where you live.”
(Martin Golding)

Found this here and it struck a chord because I'm refactoring another programmers code currently and I'm rather angry at him since he didn't use A SINGLE COMMENT !! Gah! He'd do well to hide himself from me...

Hahahaha, I like this one:

“Programmers are in a race with the Universe to create bigger and better idiot-proof programs, while the Universe is trying to create bigger and better idiots. So far the Universe is winning.”
(Rich Cook)

Nice find! Thanks for sharing (and for the laugh).

lol those are hilarious. I myself have had the fun of debugging PHP programs without a single comment. The file names help though =) Still no fun.

“Most of you are familiar with the virtues of a programmer. There are three, of course: laziness, impatience, and hubris.”

Hit that nail on the head dint they. People seem to think all programmers are weird. My sister is a network administrator and she use to think there was something wrong with me. Than she had to work with programmers first hand and relised it comes with the profession ^_^ she swears all programmers have ADHD and the weirdest sense of humor in the universe.
