I just wanted to publicly thank everyone who spoke or moderated at
last evening's language smackdown. It was interesting and I hope
something like this is done again late next year.

Something that sort of relates is this list of programming related quotes:

My favorite three are:

"Talk is cheap. Show me the code."
- Linus Torvalds

"On two occasions I have been asked [by members of Parliament]: 'Pray,
Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right
answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of
confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question."
- Charles Babbage

"Always code as if the guy who ends up maintaining your code will be a
violent psychopath who knows where you live."
- Martin Golding
