I heard an aphorism once I've tried to live by since:

It is twice as hard to debug code as it is to write it. If you write code as clever as you can make it, you will never be able to debug it.



Ironically enough, given the article, this is attributed to Brian Kernighan.


I'll try to remember the attribution as well as the aphorism in future, thanks :-)
