“سؤال؛ هل تعرف الفرق بين حبيبة سابقة لم تظفر بها لأسباب تتعلق بسلوكك وحبيبة أصبحت زوجتك؟ الإجابة لا فرق.. إنه عشب الضفة المقابلة الذى سيبدو دائمًا وأبدًا أكثر اخضرارًا طالما لم تطأه قدمك.”

“Don't be a slave to history. Don't let existing code dictate future code. All code can be replaced if it is no longer appropriate. Even within one program, don't let what you've already done constrain what you do next -- be ready to refactor... This decision may impact the project schedule. The assumption is that the impact will be less than the cost of /not/ making the change.”
― Andrew Hunt, The Pragmatic Programmer: From Journeyman to Master
