Top ten things most likely to be said by a Buddhist programmer
- Coding is suffering.
- Suffering is embodied in the endless wheel of the product life-cycle.
- You cannot escape the wheel of the product life-cycle, because your mind is clouded by desire for a better framework.
- Users cannot escape the wheel of the product life-cycle, because their minds are clouded by desire for features.
- To be free of suffering, one must first understand boolean non-duality: The bit is not one, and the bit is not not-one.
- The spec is forever like sand between your fingers. Yet each grain of it is a precious gift, inviting you to develop compassion for designers and managers.
- Debugging is negative, and unnecessary. Bugs are precious gifts, inviting the QA team and the users to develop compassion for programmers.
- It’s fun to set an array of flags, and let them flap like prayers in the wind.
- If you comment your code, it will bring good karma to you in your next release.
- To reach enlightenment, pipe your mental I/O to /dev/null
