There are plenty of developer’s quotes on the internet. We’ve decided to turn some of them into high quality visuals in order to share them on our DEVshirt.club twitter account. We hope to create many more in order to inspire you to become better programmer. If you want to look smart in front of your colleagues you might want to memorize some of them.
1. About good programmers
Any fool can write code that a computer can understand.
Good programmers write code that humans can understand.
2. Root cause
Fix the cause not the symptom.
3. Startup life
100% of people who think you’re crazy for building a startup have a boring life.
4. Code usage
Code will be written once, while it will be read multiple times.
5. Computers philosophy
Computers are useless. They can only give you answers.
6. Weekend work
Coding on the weekend is overrated.
7. On efficiency
Simplicity is the soul of efficiency.
8. Upward compatible
I’ve finally learned what ‘upward compatible’ means. It means we get to keep all our old mistakes.
9. Friday Deploys
Deploying on a Friday is just asking for a terrible weekend.
10. Software maintenance
Software being done is like lawn being mowed.
11. Explaining Programming
The trouble with programmers is that you can never tell what a programmer is doing … until it’s too late.
12. Copying code
As a software engineer, it’s 100% ok to plagiarize as long as it’s from yourself.
13. Understanding tests
Testing leads to failure, and failure leads to understanding.
14. Engineers redundancy
Don’t worry if it doesn’t work right.
If everything did, you’d be out of a job.
15. Code Value
You say: Not all the code is worth testing
I hear: Not all the code is worth writing
16. Invisible error
The best error message is the one that never shows up
17. Different kinds of programming languages
There are only two kinds of programming languages:
- the ones nobody uses
- the ones people always bitch about
18. Human emotions
Code scales easy, care doesn’t.
19. User intentions
The most important property of a program is wether it accomplishes the intention of its user.
20. Free software
Software is like sex: It’s better when it’s free.
21. User centered program
Write code to benefit your users, not for your convenience.
22. Break programming rules
Learning the art of programming, like most other disciplines, consists of first learning the rules and then learning when to break them.
23. Documenting code
Good code is it’s own best documentation.
24. On Building
1 hour of struggling to build something is probably equal to working trough 10 hours of a tutorial.
25. Productive deleting code
On my most productive day, I’ve deleted a 1000 lines of code.
26. Programming guidelines
Good programmers use their brains, but good guidelines save us having to think out every case.
27. Parts of software development
People are often surprised when I tell them that writing code is just a small part of software development
28. Code length
Coding is like poetry, it should be short and concise
29. Learning programming
Programming takes time. You need to be patient.
30. Finishing projects
Finishing projects is as important as starting them.
You will feel great after a project is done.
Best of luck
