Random thoughts on programming
Use a thought-processor before a text processor/editor (my preferred thought-processor is a rotring 600 pencil and a pad of graph paper)
Document your data and design, not the code.
If you are planning to throw one away, throw away that plan.
Be sure your tests cover what the code is supposed to do, not merely what it does do (writing the tests first, ala XP, is helpful here).
Step away from the code ... regularly!
