Nice list ... here's the top ten in order ...<p>- Programmers who don't code in their spare time for fun will never become as good as those that do.<p>- The only "best practice" you should be using all the time is "Use Your Brain".<p>- "Googling it" is okay!<p>- Most comments in code are in fact a pernicious form of code duplication.<p>- XML is highly overrated.<p>- Not all programmers are created equal.<p>- I fail to understand why people think that Java is absolutely the best "first" programming language to be taught in universities.<p>- If you only know one language, no matter how well you know it, you're not a great programmer.<p>- Performance does matter.<p>- Print statements are a valid way to debug code.
