1 " Every time you write a comment, you should grimace and feel the failure of your ability of expression. "

2 " Duplication is the primary enemy of a well-designed system. "
3 " Lots of very funny code is written because people don’t take the time to understand the algorithm. "
4 " One difference between a smart programmer and a professional programmer is that the professional understands that clarity is king. Professionals use their powers for good and write code that others can understand. "
5 " LeBlanc’s law: Later equals never. "
6 " The majority of the cost of a software project is in long-term maintenance. "
7 " When classes lose cohesion, split them! "
8 " Few practices are as odious as commenting-out code. Don’t do this! "
9 " If you are not holding back some energy in reserve, if you don’t have a new plan, if you aren’t going to change your behavior, and if you are reasonably confident in your original estimate, then promising to try is fundamentally dishonest.

10 " The promise to try is an admission that you’ve been holding back, that you have a reservoir of extra effort that you can apply. "
11 " A stitch in time saves nine. The early bird catches the worm. Don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today. "
12 " If we are diligent about building well-formed and robust systems, we should never let little, convenient idioms lead to modularity breakdown. The startup process of object construction and wiring is no exception. "

14 " Implementation Patterns. "

16 " That’s being attentive to every variable name. You should name a variable using the same care with which you name a first-born child. "
17 " The name of a variable, function, or class, should answer all the big questions. It should tell you why it exists, what it does, and how it is used. If a name requires a comment, then the name does not reveal its intent. "
18 " You know you are working on clean code when each routine turns out to be pretty much what you expected. "
19 " Duplication may be the root of all evil in software. "
20 " SPECIAL CASE PATTERN "
