Writing programs is easy.  Designing systems is hard.  The trouble
is, lots of people who can knock off 1000-liners on their terminals
try to do 20000-line systems the same way.

The best thing for programming is a tilting chair, a cup of coffee
and a desk to put one's feet on (preferably with an interesting view
out the window) while the brain percolates ids.  This assumes
that you've managed to figure out what your users want.
