[Link] | The nun Satou approached master Kaimu and said, “My master spoke of a First Mantra which must guide the thoughts of Temple developers at all times. What is this mantra?”
Kaimu answered, “I create. The essence of nature is to be always in the process of creation when one is at a keyboard.” Satou arched an eyebrow suspiciously and asked, “If I merely fix defects, what am I creating?”
Kaimu answered, “Harmony.”
Satou asked, “If I refactor yet preserve behavior, what am I creating?”
Kaimu answered, “Order.”
Satou asked, “If I delete an unused project, what am I creating?”
Kaimu answered, “Disk space.”
Satou asked, “If I do nothing but browse the web, what am I creating?”
Kaimu answered, “Missed deadlines, and a job opening.”
