The Macho School Of Programming

A very macho programmer

If you've got time to write comments -- you've got time to refactor.

If you've got time to refactor, you've got time to write unit tests.

If you've got time to write unit tests, you've got time to redesign the system.

If you've got time to redesign, you've got time to drink.

Have a beer. Comments are for sissies.
