You're a programmer, you've just written 100 lines of codes that C++ programmers have failed to do. You want to show it to people because you're quit… - Joe Armstrong

What did it work for this guy and not for me? Well, it's because machines were in different states when we performed those operations. The number of possible state of the machine is a really great number.

When I write code I always think somebody else must have written this before me and I can't find it. Why do we write code if we can't find it with Google. If we can't really find it, then we can write the code. Lot of the code is pain in the arse, it's just boring stuff.

Comments are really good, so I would advise you to write comments. Write really big and expensive comments.
