A little while back, I started a repo of funny (and insightful!) programming quotes and proverbs. These often take a shape of an existing proverbs (like Rome wasn't built in a day ) and get translated to be tech-relevant and hopefully give you a good chuckle (like Facebook wasn't built in a day ). Protip: You can put these into Slack as the loading/intro messages.

Without further ado, here are my favorites to brighten your day:

When you reach wizened-engineer level, there are at least a hundred wizened engineers above you.

A deployed MVP is worth two prototyped.

Sleep on a force push.

Sometimes you have to cut legacy support to allow the new product to bloom.

Good test coverage + automated workflows = quiet cell phones and better sleep.

There is no test without first a failure

Anger and stubborness make bad allies in code review

With commit and deploy access comes great responsibility

Don’t put all your logic in one method basket

A foreach loop avoided is a CPU cycle earned.
