[cse491] [joel at joelonsoftware.com: [JoelOnSoftware] The Duct Tape Programmer]

[C. Titus Brown]

Joel on Software is often worth reading, although like many online
yappers (including yours truly) he is highly opinionated often without
much justification.

Either way, this reinforces the "program as simply as possible" message
that I conveyed in class on Tuesday so I thought I'd pass it on!

cheers,

"One principle duct tape programmers understand well is that any kind of coding technique that's even slightly complicated is going to doom your project."
