Yet attentiveness to detail is an even more critical foundation of professionalism than is any grand vision. First, it is through practice in the small that professionals gain proficiency and trust for practice in the large. Second, the smallest bit of sloppy construction, of the door that does not close tightly or the slightly crooked tile on the floor, or even the messy desk, completely dispels the charm of the larger whole. That is what clean code is about.

Tú pasas a ser entonces apenas una cosa más que clama atención; tu atractivo se acabará a menos que actives una clase de hechizo más durarero que haga que la gente piense en ti en tu ausencia. Esto significa cautivar su imaginación, haciéndole creer que en ti hay más de lo que ve. Una vez que la gente empiece a adornar tu imagen con sus fantasías, estará atrapada.
~ Robert Greene

Brecht, on the other hand, who had actually worked steadfastly for the Communist cause, played the opposite game: He answered questions with ambiguous generalities that defied easy interpretation. Call it the Campanella strategy. Brecht even wore a suit—a rare event for him-and made a point of smoking a cigar during the proceedings, knowing that a key committee member had a passion for cigars. In the end he charmed the committee members, who let him go scot-free.

I turned on my heel and walked on. He had charm, sure, but it was so obscure. Before I got to the end of the street I heard him call after me. I stopped and turned round. He stood amidst a clutch of homegoing office girls. 'Hey, does your dick reach your arse?' he shouted thinly in the distance. Not yet, I thought, not yet.
~ Robert McLiam Wilson
