• RP don't write specs -- users should consider themselves lucky to get any programs at all, and take what they get.
• RP don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.
• RP don't write application programs, they program right down on the bare metal. Application programming is for feebs who can't do system programming.
• RP don't read manuals. Reliance on a reference is the hallmark of a novice and the cowardly.
  
• RP don't write COBOL. COBOL is for wimpy application programmers.
• RP's programs never work right the first time. But if you throw them on the machine they can be patched into working in "only a few" 30-hour debugging sessions.
• RP don't write in FORTRAN. FORTRAN is for pipe stress freaks and crystallography weenies.
• RP never work 9 to 5. If they are around at 9 AM, it's because they were up all night.
• RP don't write in BASIC. Actually, no programmers write in BASIC after age twelve.
• RP don't do documentation. Documentation is for simps who can't read the source code.
• RP don't write in PASCAL, or BLISS, or ADA, or any of those pinko computer science languages. Strong typing is for people with weak minds.
