Best Thoughts of Bram Cohen

• "The mark of a mature programmer is the willingness to throw out the code you spent time on when you realize it's pointless"

• "The trick is to fix the problem you have, rather than the problem you want."

• "Technology is not a panacea. I refuse to work on technology to track users, analyze usage patterns, watermark information, censor, detect drug use, or eavesdrop. I am not naive enough to think any of those technologies could enable a 'compromise'."

• "You get so tired of having your work die. I just wanted to make something that people would actually use."

• "Things which any idiot could write usually have the quality of having been written by an idiot."

• "My favorite language for maintainability is Python. It has simple, clean syntax, object encapsulation, good library support, and optional named parameters."
