You might have seen this before, but in case if you are programmer, and you cannot understand the Tao, may be you should reconsider calling yourself one:

• After three days without programming, life becomes meaningless.
•  A well-written program is its own heaven; a poorly-written program is its own hell.
• Though a program be but three lines long, someday it will have to be maintained.
• Without the wind, the grass does not move. Without software, hardware is useless.
