My friend James Gladwell just posted this on his wall, and I just had to repost it:

Lindsey Lohan who? I can’t believe the news coverage is been given to a spoiled20-something yr old! Here are a few 20 year-olds worth knowing about: Justin Allen 23, Brett Linley 29, Matt Weikert 29, Justus Bartett 27, Dave Santos 21, Chase Stanley 21, Jesse Reed 26, Matthew King 23, Christopher Goeke 23 & Sheldon Tate 27. These 20-so…methings gave their lives for you this week.

The “Deadly Sins” from P. J. Brown’sWriting Interactive Compilers and Interpreters Wiley 1979.

–to code before you think.
–to assume the user has all the knowledge the compiler writer has.
–to not write proper documentation.
–to ignore language standards.
–to treat error diagnosis as an afterthought.
–to equate the unlikely with the impossible.
–to make the encoding of the compiler dependent on its data formats.
–to use numbers for objects that are not numbers.
–to pretend you are catering to everyone at the same time.
–to have no strategy for processing break-ins.
–(A break-in is when you interrupt an interactive compiler, and then possibly continue it later. This is meaningful in an environment in which the compiler is run dynamically, such as many LISP and some BASIC environments. It is not meaningful for typical uses of C/C++ (although there was at least one interactive C environment according to Chris Lattner).)
–to rate the beauty of mathematics above the usability of your compiler.
–to let any error go undetected.
–to leave users to find the errors in your compiler.
