Programming Quotations
- It's hard enough to find an error in your code when you're looking for it; it's even harder when you've assumed your code is error-free.
- If builders built buildings the way programmers wrote programs, then the first woodpecker that came along would destroy civilisation.
- Programming can be fun, so can cryptography; however they should not be combined.
- The truth does not change according to our ability to stomach it.
- Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it.
- Computers are good at following instructions, but not at reading your mind.
- You're bound to be unhappy if you optimize everything.
- These machines have no common sense; they have not yet learned to "think," and they do exactly as they are told, no more and no less. This fact is the hardest concept to grasp when one first tries to use a computer.
- Good code is its own best documentation. As you're about to add a comment, ask yourself, 'How can I improve the code so that this comment isn't needed?' Improve the code and then document it to make it even clearer.
- The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.
