Read the comments, but don’t believe them

Love that one. A grad student friend I work with, whenever he catches me poring over documentation, always tells me to read the code. Such a seemingly simple tip, but so valuable.

As my boss likes to say, the extension for Ruby documentation is ".rb".

The extension for Haskell-documention is `.lhs'. But you can compile it to a `.ps' or `.pdf' with LaTeX if you want to.
