Always think about how a piece of code should be used: good interfaces are the essence of good code. You can hide all kinds of clever and dirty code behind a good interface if you really need such code.

An organisation that treats its programmers as morons will soon have programmers that are willing and able to act like morons only.

Personally, I look forward to better tools for analyzing C++ source code.

I assume that a sufficiently skilled will be able to do anything not explicitly forbidden by the hardware.

Design and programming are human activities; forget that and all is lost.

The first law of computer science: Every problem is solved by yet another indirection.

The standard library saves programmers from having to reinvent the wheel.
