When the Moon Hits Your Eye by John Scalzi
"Total disappointment. There is no plot, no story, just casual nonsense brain damaging conversations among characters. I imagine it took less than a week to write it. Can I ask for a refund? "

“The Principle of Least Surprise" describes a general approach to software that celebrates sanity over cleverness: clear intent, reasonable defaults, and providing a sense of control to the developer.”

“Be curious. Read widely. Try new things. What people call intelligence just boils down to curiosity.”
Aaron Swartz

J.K. Rowling
“Harry — I think I've just understood something! I've got to go to the library!”
And she sprinted away, up the stairs.
What does she understand?” said Harry distractedly, still looking around, trying to tell where the voice had come from.
“Loads more than I do,” said Ron, shaking his head.
“But why’s she got to go to the library?”

J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

“We are kept from our goal not by obstacles but by a clear path to a lesser goal.”
Robert Brault

Kent Beck
“If you're happy slamming some code together that more or less works and you're happy never looking at the result again, TDD is not for you. TDD rests on a charmingly naïve geekoid assumption that if you write better code, you'll be more successful. TDD helps you to pay attention to the right issues at the right time so you can make your designs cleaner, you can refine your designs as you learn.”
Kent Beck, Test-Driven Development: By Example
