| 1. | Thou shalt not worry about bugs. Bugs in your software are actually special features. |
| 2. | Thou shalt not fix abort conditions. Your user has a better chance of winning state lottery than getting the same abort again. |
| 3. | Thou shalt not handle errors. Error handing was meant for error prone people, neither you or your users are error prone. |
| 4. | Thou shalt not restrict users. Don't do any editing, let the user input anything, anywhere, anytime. That is being very user friendly. |
| 5. | Thou shalt not optimize. Your user are very thankful to get the information, they don't worry about speed and efficiency. |
| 6. | Thou shalt not provide help. If your users cannot figure out themselves how to use your software than they are too dumb to deserve the benefits of your software anyway. |
| 7. | Thou shalt not document. Documentation only comes in handy for making future modifications. You made the software perfect the first time, it will never need mods. |
| 8. | Thou shalt not hurry. Only the cute and the mighty should get the program by deadline. |
| 9. | Thou shalt not revise. Your interpretation of specs was right, you know the users' requirements better than them. |
| 10. | Thou shalt not share. If other programmers needed some of your code, they should have written it themselves. |
