The Programmer Prayer

[fschmidt]

This is inspired by the Jesus Prayer.

"Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner."

It is a concise expression of Christian sentiment to be repeated throughout the day.

In that spirit, here is my programmer prayer:

"There has to be a simpler way."

Serious programmers should repeat this prayer throughout the day until it sinks into their head.

[Ruryse]

I keep repeating the simplest prayer 24/7. I learned it from a fish.
