Clever Code for Clever Coders

in programming •  5 years ago 

I was reminded today of a frequently misquoted or misattributed aphorism:

"Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it."

Kind thanks to Brian Kernighan for reminding us to stay humble when building.
