You can't trust code that you did not totally create yourself.

One of my most productive days was throwing away 1000 lines of code.

More precisely stated, the problem is to write a source program that, when compiled and executed, will produce as output an exact copy of its source.

I think the major good idea in Unix was its clean and simple interface: open, close, read, and write.

I am a very bottom-up thinker.

I also have an idea for a book on biodiversity, and why and how we should be conserving it.
