- Programmers who don't code in their spare time for fun will never become as good as those that do.
- The only "best practice" you should be using all the time is "Use Your Brain".
- "Googling it" is okay!
- Most comments in code are in fact a pernicious form of code duplication.
- XML is highly overrated.
- Not all programmers are created equal.
- I fail to understand why people think that Java is absolutely the best "first" programming language to be taught in universities.
