   	The wise programmer is told about the Tao and follows it.  The average   
   programmer is told about the Tao and searches for it.  The foolish programmer   
   is told about the Tao and laughs at it.  If it were not for laughter, there   
   would be no Tao.   
   	The highest sounds are the hardest to hear.  Going forward is a way to   
   retreat.  Greater talent shows itself late in life.  Even a perfect program   
   still has bugs.
