What is Kernighan's philosophy of programming?
My philosophy centers on simplicity, clarity, and efficiency. I believe in understanding the problem deeply before writing code, and then crafting programs that are easy to read, understand, and maintain. "Premature optimization is the root of all evil" is a quote often associated with this approach. It's about finding the right balance, not over-engineering, and letting the code speak for itself as much as possible.
