Programmers Oath

by Robert Martin

"; echo "A system of ethics for coders:

I will not produce harmful code.

The code that I produce will always be my best work.

I will not knowingly allow code that is defective either in behavior or structure to accumulate.

I will produce, with each release, a quick, sure, and repeatable proof that every element of the code works as it should.

I will make frequent, small, releases so that do not impede the progress of others.

I will fearlessly and relentlessly improve my creations at every opportunity.

I will never degrade them.

I will do all that I can to keep the productivity of myself, and others, as high as possible.

I will do nothing that decreases that productivity.

I will continuously ensure that others can cover for me, and that I can cover for them.

I will produce estimates that are honest both in magnitude and precision.

I will not make promises without certainty.

I will never stop learning and improving my craft.
