R.P. Gage
“Great code didn’t always announce itself. Sometimes it came as a legendary snack. Sometimes it was the hidden patch that kept a whole structure from falling apart. Either way, she’d find it. And figure out what made it work.”
― R.P. Gage, Noetic Gravity

Tim Woodruff
“Even in the unending abyss that seals eternity at both ends,
if your function could compile to run on stray vacuum energy
and, given an input, it once returned some particular string,
it should, given that input, return that string again.
> [object Object]”
― Tim Woodruff, ServiceNow Development Handbook - 4th Edition: A compendium of ServiceNow "NOW" platform development and architecture pro-tips, guidelines, and best practices
