UNIX is simple. But It just needs a genius to understand its simplicity.
--Dennis Ritchie
Before software can be reusable, it first has to be usable.
--Ralph Johnson
Good judgment comes from experience, and experience comes from bad
judgment.
--Fred Brooks
Theory is when you know something, but it doesn't work.
Practice is when something works, but you don't know why it works.
Programmers combine theory and practice: Nothing works and they don't
know why.
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.
-Steve McConnell Code Complete
The Six Phases of a Project:
Enthusiasm
Disillusionment
Panic
Search for the Guilty
Punishment of the Innocent
Praise for non-participants
The trouble with the world is that the stupid are sure and the intelligent
are full of doubt.
--Bertrand Russell
No matter how slick (efficient) the demo is in rehearsal,
when you do it in front of a live audience
the probability of a flawless presentation
is inversely proportional to the number of people watching,
raised to the power of the amount of money involved.
C programmers never die. They are just cast into void.
If debugging is the process of removing bugs,
then programming must be the process of putting them in.
--Edsger Dijkstra
You can either have software quality or you can have pointer arithmetic;
you cannot have both at the same time.
--(Bertrand Meyer)
(Thoughtful Ones...)
There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third works.
--Alan J. Perlis
Measuring programming progress by lines of code is like measuring aircraft
building progress by weight.
--Bill Gates
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
Programmers are in a race with the Universe to create bigger and better
idiot-proof programs
The Universe is trying to create bigger and better idiots. So far the
Universe is winning.
