Robert C. Martin

It is not enough to write code that works; it must also be clean and elegant.

The best code is no code at all.

You should be as proud of the code you delete as the code you write.

A good name is better than a good explanation.

Code that is easy to read is easy to change.

If a function is too long, it should be broken down.

Code is read much more often than it is written.

Good software is a lot like good wine; it takes time to mature.

Duplication is the root of all evil.

The purpose of software engineering is to control complexity, not to create it.
