The saying comes from Brian Kernighan and more exactly quoted is "Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it." — Brian W. Kernighan, Programming Style and Debugging, 1997
