"Where a new system concept or new technology is used, one has
to build a system to throw away, for even the best planning is
not so omniscient as to get it right the first time.
Hence plan to throw one away; you will, anyhow."

"If you have a bug in your code, chances are you won't be able
to spot it.
No one you ask for help will be able to spot the error either.
However, the first annoying jerk who walks by with unwanted advice
will spot it immediately."
Who said this?
"One never learns a subject thoroughly until one has to teach it."
(It is somewhat in contrast to the above that J. Random Hacker has
discovered more bugs in her code while in the process of explaining
her code to someone else than by any other means.)
"Make everything as simple as possible, but no simpler."
