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

>>30
2. OK.  I was thinking of "I achieved Satori so I don't need to program any more" fags.
4. True.
5. I was thinking of Scheme-weenies and Postfix-weenies who think having NO syntax is some magical advantage.  Perl is not "a little bit" of syntax.
10. Over-engineering.  i.e.  "I needed to save a file, so I wrote a file saving library and I realized that files might be on the network so I made a virtual file class and then I made a virtual file class delegate to handle notifications and..." and pretty soon the ocean is boiled and everyone dies.
