Give a man a fish; you have fed him for today. Teach a man to fish; and you have fed him for a lifetime.

This is like one of the most popular saying of all time. But I found an interesting twist to it.

Give a man a program, and you'll fustrate him for one day.
Teach a man to program, and you'll frustrate him for a whole lifetime.

And so I began searching for others. And yes, there are more available.
