Freeform adaption from Sun Tzu – The Art of War
1. Programming is a matter of vital importance for mankind; the province of life or death; the road to survival or ruin. It is mandatory that it be thoroughly studied.
2. Therefore, appraise it in terms of 5 fundamental factors and 7 golden rules.
3. From the furnace of the mind of the skillful programmer, elemental thoughts emerge and are shaped and transformed through the precise language of programming, further feeding the furnace and shaping the flame. Programming is thus emotionally expressive as well as precise.
4. Without focus and precision thoughts wander aimlessly and the program expressed is confused at best, cryptic, or even dis-informing.
5. Programs are defined by 5 fundamental factors of algorithm, allocation, parallelism, exception handling, and optimization. Programs quickly overwhelm the mind. This must be countered through simplicity, abstraction, modularity, convention, practices, and speed.
6. Know yourself and your code and in a hundred releases you will prevail. a. If you know yourself, but not your code, every other release will be in peril. b. If you do not know yourself, nor your code, every release will be in peril.
