Was Chairman Mao a programmer?
Probably not. But even for a mass murderer, he was a surprisingly clear thinker. Here's some advice of his that all programmers should take to heart:
It is well known that when you do anything, unless you understand its actual circumstances, its nature and its relations to other things, you will not know the laws governing it, or know how to do it, or be able to do it well.
