January One-liners
The new year is here! Let’s celebrate by adding some brand new one-liners to the ever-growing collection. This month, it’s a mixed bag of one-liners, with a little programming wisdom that has overflowed1 from December’s Programming Special.

I see that the list has grown quite a bit since the beginning. I’m not sure it would fit on a t-shirt anymore. Do you have a way of checking that you don’t add the same one-liner twice?
:)
I tried to put them on a t-shirt a while back, but they didn’t fit anymore. Too bad, since the previous edition was a raging success - I think I sold 5 shirts!
The duplicate check is manual labour, so there’s a good chance there are a few of them.
