I like this particular quote:

In a similar vein:
"Debugging is at least twice as hard as programming. If your code is as
clever as you can possibly make it, then by definition you're not smart
enough to debug it." - Brian Kernighan
Jingo's are easy to parrot and seems nice on paper, but can you provide
examples
of meaningful codes that is twice as hard as programming to debug? I
ask because
I have codes in python, perl, ruby, activerecord, bourne_again, java,
and php
right now that I've used recently to survey and evaluate these
languages for performance that
I can publish on list including the results if you can give examples of
what you're talking
about.
These codes are in total disagreement with what you're saying which
indicates to
me you really do not know what your are talking about or attempted to
validate what you have just said.
We wait with anticipation.
Let's wait for Jeff's example or examples. You'll see it after Jeff as given
his examples.
