One of my most productive days was throwing away 1,000 lines of code.

FORTRAN was the language of choice for the same reason that three-legged races are popular.

No amount of source-level verification or scrutiny will protect you from using untrusted code.

You can't trust code that you did not totally create yourself.

If you want to go somewhere, goto is the best way to get there.

I wanted to separate data from programs, because data and instructions are very different.

I also enjoy writing my regular column for Organic Gardening magazine, so I may do more of that sort of thing in the future, if anybody wants it!
