1995 New Year's resolutions
(found on a napkin somewhere)

• I will learn to touch type
• I will never, ever write my own OS ever again
• I will stop reinventing the wheel and use libraries
• I will swear off complex pointers
• I will stop betting that "I can do that in one line of C"
• I will learn to use in-line assembly sparingly
• I will learn to use a real debugger instead of printf's
• I will stop calling hardware engineers "weenies"
• I will stop saying "It's gotta be the hardware"
• I will restrict version numbers to 5 decimal digits
• I will go to "Beta" with something that actually works
• I will stop saying "We can always go back and optimize"
• I will think first before committing a "quick fix"
• I will stop patching the unfixable
• I will remember that small is beatiful and restrict my functions to 1 or 2 screens
• I will stop turning everything into an object
• I will really learn C++
• I will stop trying to beat the source control system
• I will design first, then code
