“An algorithm must be seen to be believed.”
― Donald Knuth, Leaders in Computing: Changing the digital world

“Poorly designed code usually takes more code to do the same things, often because the code quite literally does the same thing in several places.”
― Martin Fowler

“Premature optimization is the root of all evil.”
― Donald Ervin Knuth, The Art of Computer Programming, Volume 1: Fundamental Algorithms

“Code without tests is bad code. It doesn't matter how well written it is; it doesn't matter how pretty or object-oriented or well-encapsulated it is. With tests, we can change the behavior of our code quickly and verifiably. Without them, we really don't know if our code is getting better or worse.”
― Michael Feathers, Working Effectively with Legacy Code
