Good programmers focus on designing robust data structures and understanding their relationships, as emphasized by Linus Torvalds, the creator of Git and Linux. This approach makes software more reliable, easy to maintain, and scalable. Complex systems benefit greatly from well-thought-out data models, which simplify application logic and reduce the need for complex code. Prioritizing data structure design saves time and effort in the long run.

Good programmers worry about data structures and their relationships

I love a good maxim.
Rule of Representation: Fold knowledge into data so program logic can be stupid and robust.

Are we talking about the same thing when we say “data structures” ? I feel like this article is poorly worded

good programers do not worry they eat cookies

Even better programmers don’t have relationships.

Great post! What’s the least used data structure that developers should still take the time to learn?
