Performance Art

A Performance Art?

What does that mean?

CHANGE = "The Only Constant"

It means

The Art of Programming

is guiding your code towards a graceful demise.

A Paradox

“All bugs come from code.Write less of it.”

“I didn’t have time to write a short letter,so I wrote a long one instead.”

Mark Twain

“This code is terrible!I haven’t had time to refactor it.”

All of us, at some point.

There are no easy answers.

Write debt-free code. Make time to pay it. Write it off.

Simplify

your

Process

All creative work involves only two fundamental actions.

Breaking Things Down Building Things Up
Breaking Things Down ⬇ ⬆ Building Things Up Gathering Specs ⬇ ☯ ⬆ Writing Tests Designing an Interface ⬇ ☯ ⬆ Building a Prototype Code Review ⬇ ☯ ⬆ Deploy

Principles

for the Developer

Honesty

Don’t write clever code. Aim for the path of least bullshit.

Integrity

Leave the code you work with better than you found it. You’ll be doing someone a favor, even if it’s future you.

Detachment

You aren’t your code. Let it go.

Bonus

Insight

Your code’s logic can reflect your inner logic.

Thank you
