 Code is fast.
 
-The following suggestions are about creating maintainable and fast
-code. The production of correct code is a project for life, and depends to
-a high degree on reflection---i.e., thinking about what you are doing and
-not just doing it.
+This guide is about creating maintainable code and it touches on
+correctness and speed on occasion. For the former, formulate test suites;
+for the latter, start with stress test suites.

+Keep functions small. Keep classes small. Keep units small. Keep modules small.
+
+Anytime a unit of code looks incomprehensible, it is probably too
+large. Break it up into smaller units. To bring across what these smaller
+units compute, implement or serve, use meaningful names.
