Most software today is very much like an Egyptian pyramid with millions of bricks piled on top of each other, with no structural integrity, but just done by brute force and thousands of slaves.
Alan Kay

What you have in most education software is that they're catering to the decision-maker who makes the budget allocations, and that decision-maker has a lot of check boxes. Does it do this? Check. Does it do that? Check. They could care less about the end user experience.
Salman Khan

I have this hope that there is a better way. Higher-level tools that actually let you see the structure of the software more clearly will be of tremendous value.
Guido van Rossum
Image
The most amazing achievement of the computer software industry is its continuing cancellation of the steady and staggering gains made by the computer hardware industry.
Henry Petroski
Image
More software projects have gone awry for lack of calendar time than for all other causes combined.
Fred Brooks

Giving the Linus Torvalds Award to the Free Software Foundation is a bit like giving the Han Solo Award to the Rebel Alliance.
Richard Stallman
Image
This is what our customers are asking for to take them to the next level and free them from the bondage of mainframe and client-server software.
Marc Benioff
Image
Like many older fans of Free Software and Open Source, I have discovered that it is really only free in the sense that the time you spend on it is worthless.
Erik Naggum

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

Adding last-minute features, whether in response to competitive pressure, as a developer's pet feature, or on the whim of management, causes more bugs in software than almost anything else.
John Robbins
Image
Software−related accidents are usually caused by flawed requirements.
Nancy Leveson

I think that the most beautiful thing lately hasn't been in hardware or software per se but collaboration - the idea behind Napster, which uses the distributed power of the Internet as its engine.
Steven Levy
Image
I've always been obsessed with electronics and using computers and software. It's always been part of my vernacular.
Sufjan Stevens
Image
In a previous life I wrote the software that controlled my physics experiments. That software had to deal with all kinds of possible failures in equipment. That is probably where I learned to rely on multiple safety nets inside and around my systems.
Wietse Venema

You get the software you pay for. In every sense. To the nth degree. That's the way the world works.

Design Patterns - Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software
Erich Gamma

If we want users to like our software we should design it to behave like a likeable person: respectful, generous and helpful.
Alan Cooper
Image
A lot of the parallel processing software we're currently developing for supercomputers is tantric.
Frederick Lenz
Image
At Microsoft, the magic of software is used to take on very interesting challenges.
Jeff Raikes
Image
One of the great enemies of design is when systems or objects become more complex than a person - or even a team of people - can keep in their heads. This is why software is generally beneath contempt.
Bran Ferren
Image
We can't ever forget that the Internet now is just a staid utility. The exciting platforms are software applications that are very, very simple.
Mark Cuban
Image
We can collaborate with a Netscape employee or partner who's halfway around the world. We can distribute information and software to customers and shareholders, and get their feedback.
James L. Barksdale
Image
When done well, software is invisible.
Bjarne Stroustrup
Image
The only reason [not to use] perl is that some sysadmins don't allow software that they didn't pay for. By all means, let them send me money if it makes them feel better.
