Some of the smartest programmers I know are also the most well rounded.

No one can deny that Why the Lucky Stiff is a strong advocate for Ruby, yet he knows Python well enough to write a bytecode converter that targets it.

Last year I switched to zsh because Christian Neukirchen recommended it, yet he is conversant with the next version of Bash, comparing and contrasting their features with ease.

The first question most people ask me about PeepCode Screencasts is “How many employees do you have?”

Maybe it’s a more polite way of asking “What was your gross revenue for the most recent fiscal quarter?” At any rate, I now have something to tell them.

This is the way the world ends / Not with a bang but a whimper.
