oblique strategies for programmers:
hardcode everything
do repeat yourself
you probably don’t need that
optimise early, it’s fun
try a new language feature
maybe you can do this entirely with tags and filters
try turning your program inside out
restate the problem
the naïve algorithm is probably fast enough
it is easier to ask forgiveness than permission
it is easier to correct a wrong program than to write a correct program
create a new programming language for this
I smell censorship! Our comrades should oppose this egregious assault on democracy and civil rights!

I want to live simply. I want to sit by the window when it rains and read books I'll never be tested on. I want to paint because I want to, not because I've got something to prove. I want to listen to my body, fall asleep when the moon is high and wake up slowly, with no place to rush off to. I want not to be governed by money or clocks or any of the artificial restraints that humanity imposes on itself. I just want to be, boundless and infinite.
