Quote by Linus Torvalds

Bad programmers worry about the code. Good programmers worry about data structures and their relationships.

Bad programmers worry about the code. Good programmers worry

Summary

This quote highlights the importance of data structures and their relationships in programming. A bad programmer solely focuses on writing code, failing to consider the underlying data structures that can efficiently store and manipulate data. In contrast, a good programmer understands that data structures form the foundation of effective programming, as they determine how data is organized, accessed, and modified. By prioritizing data structures and their relationships, good programmers ensure efficient and optimized code that effectively solves problems and handles complex data scenarios.

There is no despair so absolute as that which comes with the first moments of our first great sorrow, when we have not yet known what it is to have suffered and be healed, to have despaired and have recovered hope.
