(*) I will, in fact, claim that the difference between a bad programmer
and a good one is whether he considers his code or his data structures
more important. Bad programmers worry about the code. Good programmers
worry about data structures and their relationships.
personally I'd add to this that after the data structures are defined and
you
turn to the code the API is significantly more important then the code
itself.
I think people sometimes put too much emphasis on ABI's.
I was careful to say aPi, not aBi :-)
All Linus said about ABIs is true for APIs, too. The only difference
between the two is, that people depend on the sacredness of ABIs even more
than on APIs.
