True but I don't think one simple statement is enough. Back when I was
just starting someone told me how to talk to the press: you say one
thing, you say only one thing, and you say it over and over; then they
might get it right...but don't bet the farm on it.
If you post untested code, clearly say so, both before and after it.
Repeat what you're saying, over and over.
(And I'm not betting if anyone understand this. :)

Programming is as much about organization and communication
as it is about coding.
I like Perl; it's the only language where you can bless your
thingy.
