Top 5

A community to share your top 5 of anything.

Examples:

Why five and not ten or twenty? I don't know, five seems easy enough to make a list about anything, and short enough to not be just a long list of whatever.

Rules

  1. The list must be subjective (best, worst, etc) not objective (size, sells, etc).
  2. List must be ranked (no "in no particular order" stuff).
  3. Only text posts (no links, no images).
  4. Posts must include a list (no requests).
  5. Title must start with "Top 5..."
  6. Keep it SFW

  1. "Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away." - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
  2. "All secrets become deep. All secrets become dark. That's in the nature of secrets." - Cory Doctorow, Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town
  3. "No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man." - Heraclitus
  4. "Property is theft!" - Pierre-Joseph Proudhon
  5. "One of my most productive days was throwing away 1000 lines of code." - Ken Thompson

That last one makes it clear what I do for a living, but in software engineering, it's a good one to keep in mind.
