Code should run as fast as necessary, but no faster; something important is always traded away to increase speed. — Richard E. Pattis Copy Share Image
If you cannot grok the overall structure of a program while taking a shower, you are not ready to code it. — Richard E. Pattis Copy Share Image
When teaching a rapidly changing technology, perspective is more important than content. — Richard E. Pattis Copy Share Image
The discipline of programming is most like sorcery. Both use precise language to instruct inanimate objects to do our bidding. Small mistakes… — Richard E. Pattis Copy Share Image
When building a complex system, having crackerjack programmers (who can make any design work, even a bad one) can be a liability.… — Richard E. Pattis Copy Share Image
When debugging, novices insert corrective code; experts remove defective code. — Richard E. Pattis Copy Share Image
The three most important aspects of debugging and real estate are the same: Location, Location, and Location. — Richard E. Pattis Copy Share Image
The structure of a software system provides the ecology in which code is born, matures, and dies. A well-designed habitat allows for… — Richard E. Pattis Copy Share Image
