“Learning the art of programming, like most other disciplines, consists of first learning the rules and then learning when to break them.”
Joshua Bloch, Effective Java : Programming Language Guide

Andrew Hunt
“You Can't Write Perfect Software. Did that hurt? It shouldn't. Accept it as an axiom of life. Embrace it. Celebrate it. Because perfect software doesn't exist. No one in the brief history of computing has ever written a piece of perfect software. It's unlikely that you'll be the first. And unless you accept this as a fact, you'll end up wasting time and energy chasing an impossible dream.”
Andrew Hunt, The Pragmatic Programmer: From Journeyman to Master
