Talk is cheap. Show me the code.

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

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.

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