Some more food for thought:

"Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place.
 Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are,
  definition, not smart enough to debug it." --Brian Kernighan

"We observe simply that a program usually has to be read several times
 in the process of getting it debugged. The harder it is for people to
 grasp the intent of any given section, the longer it will be before
 the program becomes operational." --  Kernighan and Plauger
