"Pretending you know what you're doing is almost the same as knowing what you are doing" -- Thank God, because I've been pretending my entire life. Vindication!

When this was posted to programming Reddit, most of the comments on the thread were about how harmful this could be if taken to an extreme, how it wasn't perfect, etc.

Talk about missing the forest for the tiny cellulose molecules at the ends of the pine needles hanging of the twigs springing from the branches on the trees. This made me realize that I don't like other programmers, at least not the ones who comment on stories on Reddit.

A manifesto that's less than 90 pages!!?? This is one of those rare times that call for using "OMG!"

Haha, dude, I'm not sure what it is about link sharing communities like Reddit (or even Hacker News these days) that really brings out the trolls.

It's like, come on guys, the world isn't measured by how smart-ass you can be in comments.

My Grandma has been preaching the same stuff for years. "If it's worth doing, it's worth doing badly." I can tell you she's DONE amazing stuff in her life.
