Don’t be (too) clever. My point was to discourage overly clever code because ‘clever code’ is hard to write, easy to get wrong, harder to maintain, and often no faster than simpler alternatives because it can be hard to optimize.
–Bjarne Stroustrup

Create post

Every day, one and only one programming quote is posted by the bot.

The core idea behind restricting posting is to encourage discussion. One quote a day is hopefully a good way to do that.
