One thing I've learned over 10 years of doing this is how much code is actually required to do anything, having more expressive language is one thing but tools that can help me cram out this stuff are also appreciated.

One thing I've learned over more than 10 years of doing this is how much code actually should be deleted instead of fixed. Thanks for giving me a reliable source of income ;)
The joke is that a new programmer is happiest when adding code and the senior programmer is happiest when removing code.
