[tmklnylh] Always program small

When learning computer programming, always program small, programs small enough that you can fit the whole thing inside your mind as you type it out.

As you get better, "small" naturally becomes larger as your mind can handle larger, more complicated concepts.

I dislike how introductory computer programming classes have students write quite large programs.  And then when something goes wrong, it's so large that the students become frustrated.
