+  some beliefs. i update from time to time
+  <h3>writing</h3>
+  <p>
+    dates need to be everywhere
+  <p>
+    citations are always important, always give the source
+  </p>
+
+  <h3>programming</h3>
+  <h4>test first</h4>
+  writing test before the actual program ensures that there are tests in the end. manual testing sucks!
+  <h4>premature optimization</h4>
+    <p>
+      <blockquote cite="Donald Knuth - The Art of Programming">“The real problem is that programmers have spent far too much time worrying about efficiency in the wrong places and at the wrong times; premature optimization is the root of all evil (or at least most of it) in programming.”</blockquote>
+      this led to programming being to unoptimized. but i know of enough people still overoptimizing.
