What's your developer motto?

Do you have a personal mantra, favorite expression or go-to piece of wisdom that you live by as a developer? We're compiling a list and want to hear the best of them! Thanks for your help!

I don't always test my code but when I do, I do it in Production.

Dedicate, design, develop, distribute. Three or four "d's" in there somewhere as someone once wisely told me. Did I get them in the wrong order? One too many "d's"? Feel free to play around with them yourselves. That's the beauty of words, yes? Love the answers above gents.

yourtownapps,that's a good one to remember, we need more apps with purpose -- thanks. What apps are you working on lately? krompa and AlanMac, two universal truisms! (krompa, may we call it the "Developer's Dance: one step forward, two steps back!" LOL Thanks.) TatorTot - First of all, great name. Tell us more about this KISS approach? What's it stand for? We eagerly await your response. Thanks again, this is a great group here.
