"Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therfore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it." - Rajanand

Although, personally, I enjoy python list comprehensions.



I believe that quote about debugging being twice as hard as coding is by Brian Kernighan.

Maybe, I grabbed the first matching quote I found. I can't attribute it on my own.


No sweat. I’m a quote nerd so it jumped out at me
