I would say the smartest guy out there doesn't write code... he tells other people how to do it. However, if he did write code... I would say he would have to re-write whatever program it was because he clearly couldn't debug it. If he couldn't debug it, no one could, if he's the smartest guy.</p><p>If those rules apply, I hope I'm never the smartest coder because I need to be able to debug my stuff. In realted news; the universe has officially ended.</p>AaronFri, 25 Sep 2009 11:17:07 -0000https://www.singularity.vc/debugging-is-twice-as-hard-as-writing-the-code-in#comment-17376965<p>Haha, I dig it. There's just a sticky edge-case; what if you're already the smartest guy out there? Tough life to live, I bet.</p><p>Happy to meet another Aaron White! If there's one thing Google &amp; Facebook are succeeding at, it's making me feel less unique every day :)</p>aaronwhiteFri, 25 Sep 2009 10:43:53 -0000https://www.singularity.vc/debugging-is-twice-as-hard-as-writing-the-code-in#comment-17357975<p>If you ever write code so smart that you can't debug it, do what I do. Think of a guy who's smarter than you, think of how he would debug it, then do that. Works for me all the time.</p><p>Ironically, I was searching for me and found you. I happen to do a little bit of programming so figured I'd chime in quickly with a great suggestion.</p>AaronFri, 25 Sep 2009 01:00:41 -0000https://www.singularity.vc/debugging-is-twice-as-hard-as-writing-the-code-in#comment-17157653<p>Don't worry, I've seen all of our code, we're not at risk.</p>aaronwhiteTue, 22 Sep 2009 22:21:09 -0000https://www.singularity.vc/debugging-is-twice-as-hard-as-writing-the-code-in#comment-17147925<p>Corollary: if the cleverest coder on the team writes code as cleverly as possible, the rest of the team is in really deep shit.</p>DickTue, 22 Sep 2009 17:59:56 -0000
