Linus Torvalds Quotes on Code

4 quotes

  1. If you need more than 3 levels of indentation, you're screwed anyway, and should fix your program.

  2. Talk is cheap. Show me the code.

  3. 'Regression testing'? What's that? If it compiles, it is good, if it boots up it is perfect.

  4. I will, in fact, claim that the difference between a bad programmer and a good one is whether he considers his code or his data structures more important. Bad programmers worry about the code. Good programmers worry about data structures and their relationships.
