“If your code is undergoing review and a reviewer tells you that something is not obvious, don¡¯t argue with them; if a reader thinks it¡¯s not obvious, then it¡¯s not obvious. Instead of arguing, try to understand what they found confusing and see if you can clarify that, either with better comments or better code.”

“If you just sit and observe, you will see how restless your mind is. If you try to calm it, it only makes it worse, but over time it does calm, and when it does, there's room to hear more subtle things - that's when your intuition starts to blossom and you start to see things more clearly and be in the present more. Your mind just slows down, and you see a tremendous expanse in the moment. You see so much more than you could see before. It's a discipline; you have to practice it.”

“Most modules have more users than developers, so it is better for the developers to suffer than the users. As a module developer, you should strive to make life as easy as possible for the users of your module, even if that means extra work for you. Another way of expressing this idea is that it is more important for a module to have a simple interface than a simple implementation.”
