Software Engineering Fundamentals

Each line of code is an opportunity for a bug to occur: Keep programs as short as possible.

Bugs will only be fixed if the code paths they lie in are executed: Have tests and testers.

No one language is best at everything: Use appropriate tools for each job.

To maintain simplicity you need to build on top of previous work: Divide code into logical modules/libraries that can ge reused.

No one language is best at everything: Use appropriate tools for each job.

C is pretty good at everything.

machine code must be the best at everything, because all other languages compile down to it

I program with a gamma radiation source and a punch strip, sorta like those old player pianos.
