Computers are like saviors. They save people a lot of guesswork. (Sam Ewing) Programmers are in a race with the Universe to create bigger and better idiot-proof programs, while the Universe is trying to create bigger and better idiots. So far the Universe is winning. (Rich Cook) The function of good software is to make the complex appear to be simple. (Grady Booch) One of the main causes of the fall of the Roman Empire was that–lacking zero–they had no way to indicate successful termination of their C programs. (Robert Firth)

There are two ways of constructing a software design. One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies. And the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. (C.A.R. Hoare) You can either have software quality or you can have pointer arithmetic, but you cannot have both at the same time. (Bertrand Meyer) Software suppliers are trying to make their software packages more ‘user-friendly’ … Their best approach so far has been to take all the old brochures and stamp the words ‘user-friendly’ on the cover. (Bill Gates) If debugging is the process of removing bugs, then programming must be the process of putting them in. (Edsger W. Dijkstra)

Always code as if the guy who ends up maintaining your code will be a violent psychopath who knows where you live. There is no programming language–no matter how structured–that will prevent programmers from making bad programs.

Most of you are familiar with the virtues of a Programmer

Programmers are in a race with the Universe to create bigger and better idiot-proof programs, while the Universe is trying to create bigger and better idiots. So far the Universe is winning. (Rich Cook) The question of whether computers can think is like the question of whether submarines can swim. (Edsger W. Dijkstra) Good code is its own best documentation. (Steve McConnell) There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in his home. (Ken Olson, President, Digital Equipment Corporation, 1977)

The best performance improvement is the transition from the nonworking state to the working state. (J. Osterhout) The best thing about a boolean is even if you are wrong, you are only off by a bit. (Anonymous) Should array indices start at 0 or 1? My compromise of 0.5 was rejected without, I thought, proper consideration. (Stan Kelly-Bootle) There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works. (Alan J. Perlis) The first 90% of the code accounts for the first 90% of the development time. The remaining 10% of the code accounts for the other 90% of the development time. (Tom Cargill)

The Web is like a dominatrix. Everywhere I turn, I see little buttons ordering me to Submit. There’s an old story about the person who wished his computer were as easy to use as his telephone. That wish has come true, since I no longer know how to use my telephone.

One of the main causes of the fall of the Roman Empire was that–lacking zero–they had no way to indicate successful termination of their C programs. (Robert Firth) Computers are useless. They can only give you answers. (Pablo Picasso) Should array indices start at 0 or 1? My compromise of 0.5 was rejected without, I thought, proper consideration. (Stan Kelly-Bootle) I don’t care if it works on your machine! We are not shipping your machine! (Vidiu Platon)

A good programmer is someone who always looks both ways before crossing a one-way street

The best method for accelerating a computer is the one that boosts it by 9.8 m/s2. (Anonymous) Always code as if the guy who ends up maintaining your code will be a violent psychopath who knows where you live. (Martin Golding)

Writing code has a place in the human hierarchy worth somewhere

The cheapest, fastest, and most reliable components are those that aren’t there. (Gordon Bell) Programming is like sex. One mistake and you have to support it for the rest of your life. (Michael Sinz) Software suppliers are trying to make their software packages more ‘user-friendly’… Their best approach so far has been to take all the old brochures and stamp the words ‘user-friendly’ on the cover. (Bill Gates) Controlling complexity is the essence of computer programming. (Brian Kernigan) The best performance improvement is the transition from the nonworking state to the working state. (J. Osterhout)

  • The city’s central computer told you? R2D2, you know better than to trust a strange computer
  • Optimism is an occupational hazard of programming; feedback is the treatment.
  • Computer science education cannot make anybody an expert programmer any more than studying brushes and pigment can make somebody an expert painter.
    1. Writing code has a place in the human hierarchy worth somewhere above grave robbing and beneath managing.
    2. A programmer is a person who passes as an exacting expert on the basis of being able to turn out, after innumerable punching.
    3. Programming today is a race between software/web engineers.
  • The best programmers are not marginally better than merely good ones.

I’ve noticed lately that the paranoid fear of computers becoming intelligent and taking over the world has almost entirely disappeared from the common culture. Near as I can tell, this coincides with the release of MS-DOS.

Writing code has a place in the human hierarchy worth somewhere above grave robbing and beneath managing.

Should array indices start at 0 or 1? My compromise of 0.5 was rejected without, I thought, proper consideration. (Stan Kelly-Bootle) If builders built buildings the way programmers wrote programs, then the first woodpecker that came along would destroy civilization. (Gerald Weinberg) There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in his home.

Computer science education cannot make anybody an expert programmer any more than studying brushes and pigment can make somebody an expert painter. (Eric Raymond) It has been said that the great scientific disciplines are examples of giants standing on the shoulders of other giants. It has also been said that the software industry is an example of midgets standing on the toes of other midgets. (Alan Cooper) Everything that can be invented has been invented. (Charles H. Duell, Commissioner, U.S. Office of Patents, 1899) The question of whether computers can think is like the question of whether submarines can swim.
