Design without designing,
implement without implementing,
debug without debugging.

The great lessens (and the small grows);
the many become few (and the few become many).

Respond to ill-treatment
  with the Power of the Unix Way.

Tackle difficult projects while they're easy;
manage big projects while they're small.

In this world,
  difficult problems surely arise
  from what is easy;
in this world,
  big systems surely begin
  in what is small.

Thus the hacker doesn't set big goals,
  but can accomplish big results.
  (Truly, frivolous promises lack sincerity.)

What's too easy surely has many difficulties.

Thus the hacker takes difficulties seriously,
  and ultimately has no difficulties, indeed.
