This is one of what I like to call a thinker. What does it really mean? At first it sort of makes one think that he is saying that people are not smart enough to debug their own code. Clearly that’s not right though. Is it? I think not. What I think he is really saying is that it doesn’t pay to be too “clever” or tricky in your code. It the code you right is some sort of tour de force that takes every ounce of your skill and knowledge then you’ll be in trouble if (when) something goes wrong. This may work when you are a new programmer working hard to stretch yourself and have a mentor or instructor with far greater skill than you posses but if you know it all like some of us do … Well maybe you shouldn’t be showing off too much.
