7 Lessons for Software Developers from Heinlein

Robert Heinlein wasn't really a programmer, of course. But in his writing career he said or wrote several things (in his own voice or that of a fictional character) that can help any software developer improve her code... or her career.

it doesn't really help me. If you want to improve your code, maybe you should read the book "Writing Scientific Software, A Guide to Good Style" by Suely Oliveira and David Stewart.
