The REAL EXPERT PROGRAMMING manifesto

[code]
1. MONOSPACE OR GTFO
2. VI OR GTFO, RINSE, REPEAT
3. IF INPUT IS FROM UNTRUSTED SOURCE, CHECK THE SHIT FIRST.  CHECK ALL UNTRUSTED INPUT.  EVERY SINGLE ITEM.  BUFFER OVERFLOWS SHOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED
4. ONE STATEMENT PER LINE, BRACES ARE STATEMENTS
5. JAVA SUCKS
6. SLOW HASKELL IS SLOW
7. IF YOU SEGFAULT, YOU DIE FOR REAL
8. I WOULD PROGRAM IN ASM BUT I HAVE BETTER THINGS TO DO IN THE 20 YEARS IT WOULD TAKE ME TO WRITE A DECENT PROGRAM IN IT
9. UNIX NEVER DIES
10. GIVE IT AWAY, IT'LL BE CRACKED EVENTUALLY ANYWAY
