Jared Parsons writes about how Part of being a good programmer is learning not to trust yourself. It's filled with basic but all-too-often-forgotten wisdom about defensive programming.

I also chuckled to see a sidebar disclaimer that said "All code posted to this site is covered under the Microsoft Permissive Lice." I'd heard of parasitic licensing before, but never like this!
