Tim Berners-Lee
I think IT projects are about supporting social systems - about communications between people and machines. They tend to fail due to cultural issues.
Tim Berners-Lee
When it comes to professionalism, it makes sense to talk about being professional in IT. Standards are vital so that IT professionals can provide systems that last.
Tim Berners-Lee
