The Tao of Programming

(It appears I’m having troubles sleeping today). I just came across The Tao of Programming, and found it to be much enjoyable.


A master was explaining the nature of Tao of to one of his novices. “The Tao is embodied in all software – regardless of how insignificant,” said the master.

”Is the Tao in a hand-held calculator?” asked the novice.
”It is,” came the reply.
”Is the Tao in a video game?” continued the novice.
‘It is even in a video game,” said the master.
”And is the Tao in the DOS for a personal computer?”

The master coughed and shifted his position slightly. ”The lesson is over for today,” he said.
