Robert C. Martin
“Truth can only be found in one place: the code.”
Robert C. Martin, Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship

Isaac Asimov
“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”

Robert C. Martin, The Clean Coder: A Code of Conduct for Professional Programmers

Douglas Adams

Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

“You should name a variable using the same care with which you name a first-born child.”
