Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it. (Brian W. Kernighan, and P. J. Plauger in The Elements of Programming Style
The most effective debugging tool is still careful thought, coupled with judiciously placed print statements. (Brian W. Kernighan, in the paper Unix for Beginners (1979))
Debugging time increases as a square of the program's size. (Chris Wenham)
