I have a favorite quote that I've used with a large number of
developers I have trained:
"You write code as if the person who will maintain your code is a
violent psychopath who knows where you live." -- John F. Woods
Thinking about the person who will maintain your code is always a good
thing. (I know Wade-past wasn't very good about that, and I would love
to have a chat with him about it.)

you're talking about. -- John von Neumann
