Some more food for thought: "Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, definition, not smart enough to debug it." --Brian Kernighan "We observe simply that a program usually has to be read several times in the process of getting it debugged. The harder it is for people to grasp the intent of any given section, the longer it will be before the program becomes operational." -- Kernighan and Plauger -- Greg Comeau / 4.3.10.1 with C++0xisms now in beta!
