Software Engineering is that part of Computer Science which is too difficult for the Computer Scientist.
Friedrich L. Bauer
Image
Software is largely a service industry operating under the persistent but unfounded delusion that it is a manufacturing industry
Eric S. Raymond
Image
Software unification. So that I no longer care what computing device I pick up, whether it's a laptop or desktop, whether it's one I own or one in a public place, whether it has a small screen or a large screen.
David Gelernter

Software is a great combination between artistry and engineering.
Bill Gates
Image
Software is a reflection of our own mind. And as our software improves it will not only take on the patterns of our minds more closely, but it will also pick up the energy of our minds in other words, I think that software is alive.
Frederick Lenz

Software touches all of these different things you use, and tech companies are revolutionizing all different areas of the world...from how we shop to how farming works, all these things that aren't technical are being turned upside down by software. So being able to play in that universe really makes a difference.
Drew Houston

Software development takes immense intellectual effort. Even the best programmers can rarely sustain that level of effort for more than a few hours a day. Beyond that, they need to rest their brains a bit, which is why they always seem to be surfing the Internet or playing games when you barge in on them.
Joel Spolsky

Software production is like any other production the preceded it, no raw materials are required, no time is required and no effort is required, you can make a million Copies of Software instantaneously for free and its very unique about that.
John McAfee

Software breaks before it bends, so it demands perfection in a universe that prefers statistics.
Jaron Lanier

Software is like sex. It's only good when it's for free.
Linus Torvalds
Image
Software: These programs give instruction to the CPU, which processes billions of tiny facts called bytes, and within a fraction of a second it sends you an error message that requires you to call the customer-support hot line and be placed on hold for approximately the life-span of a caribou.
Dave Barry
Image
Software constraints are only confining if you use them for what they're intended to be used for.
David Byrne
Image
Software is getting slower more rapidly than hardware becomes faster.
Niklaus Wirth
Image
Software development is technical activity conducted by human beings.
Niklaus Wirth
Image
Software engineering is the establishment and use of sound engineering principles to obtain economically software that is reliable and works on real machines efficiently.
Friedrich L. Bauer
Image
Software entities (classes, modules, functions, etc.) should be open for extension, but closed for modification.
Bertrand Meyer
Image
Software companies should take more responsibility for security holes, especially in browsers and e-mail clients. There are some straightforward things the industry should be doing right now to fix things, and I don't know why they haven't been done yet.
Tim Berners-Lee
Image
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
Image
Software substitution, whether it's for drivers or waiters or nurses ... it's progressing. ... Technology over time will reduce demand for jobs, particularly at the lower end of skill set. ... 20 years from now, labor demand for lots of skill sets will be substantially lower. I don’t think people have that in their mental model.
Bill Gates
Image
Software projects fail for one of two general reasons: the project team lacks the knowledge to conduct a software project successfully, or the project team lacks the resolve to conduct a project effectively.
Steve McConnell
Image
Software was the key element that would determine how useable and how broadly applicable the machine was.
Bill Gates
Image
Software−related accidents are usually caused by flawed requirements.
Nancy Leveson
Image
Software will never replace the Koran.
Dan Wieden

Software is definitely engineering. It's different in that we take on novel tasks every time. It's not like building a certain bridge that is virtually identical to some previous bridge or some previous building.
