i'm reading code complete at the moment, a book i've been meaning to read for a very long time, and i've just read a brilliant quotable line that i need to share:

"Despite economic ups and downs, good programmers are perennially in short supply, and life is too short to work in an unenlightened programming shop when plenty of better alternatives are available."

haha, awesome eh.

that's something that i've been telling lots of people for a long time, it might be about time for me to start taking my own advice :)

i've only just started to read it, but so far, so good. its one of those books that i think i'm going to get through quite quickly, not because i'll be skim reading it, or missing bits out, but because so far, i'm reading it with a slight grin on my face, cus i know exactly what Steve Mcconnell is getting at.
