The belief that complex systems require armies of designers and programmers is wrong. A system that is not understood in its entirety, or at least to a significant degree of detail by a single individual, should probably not be built.
Niklaus Wirth
Image
If there could've ever been a magical time to build an enterprise software company, now is absolutely that time.
Aaron Levie
Image
Let us change our traditional attitude to the construction of programs. Instead of imagining that our main task is to instruct a computer what to do, let us concentrate rather on explaining to human beings what we want a computer to do.
Donald Knuth
Image
We ought to be keeping in mind that the technology is not just hardware and machinery, it is also software. So you can think of languages of the technology and writing of the technology and the social justice of the technology in what social justice does is reduce impacts on the Earth because the most impact is from the poorest and richest people.

One of the ways that Microsoft beat Apple way back in the day was that they were a lot more open today, in the world I come from, the free software and open-source world, Microsoft is not generally viewed as open they're viewed as proprietary.

If you want to measure social media ROI, stop wasting your time doing software demos and attending webinars. Just figure out what you want to track, where you can track it, think about both current customers and new customers, and go do it.

If you cannot grok the overall structure of a program while taking a shower, you are not ready to code it.
Richard E. Pattis

If the automobile had followed the same development as the computer, a Rolls Royce would today cost $100 and get a million miles per gallon, and explode once a year killing everyone inside.

Consciousness, like a complex system of software, has thousands of levels of nested, self-accessing subroutines
Frederick Lenz

Creating a piece of software is always complicated because you're doing something new. If you just wanted something that had been done before you'd just use that old piece of software. So there are no repetitive tasks.
Bill Gates
Image
Never in the annals of software engineering was so much owed by so many to so few lines of code
Martin Fowler
Image
The only people who have anything to fear from free software are those whose products are worth even less.
David F. Emery
Image
The biggest issue on software teams is making sure everyone understands what everyone else is doing.
Martin Fowler
Image
Software never was perfect and won't get perfect. But is that a license to create garbage? The missing ingredient is our reluctance to quantify quality.
Boris Beizer
Image
Trying to read our DNA is like trying to understand software code - with only 90% of the code riddled with errors. It's very difficult in that case to understand and predict what that software code is going to do.
Elon Musk
Image
I was trying to figure out what to do next, I'd been accumulating ideas for productivity tools - software people could use every day, particularly to help organize their lives.
Mitchell Kapor
Image
I actually am fairly uncomfortable about it, even if our firm stipulation was that they cannot tell us what to do. We are simply doing what we do anyways - securing software - and they have no say in the matter. I try to convince myself that our grant means a half of a cruise missile doesn't get built.

Venture capitalists are like lemmings jumping on the software bandwagon.
Adam Osborne

The days when a car aficionado could repair his or her own car are long past, due primarily to the high software content.
Marc Andreessen
Image
I don't think I've ever seen a piece of commercial software where the next version is simpler rather than more complex.

My venture investing career has three phases, all roughly 6-8 years long. The first, at Euclid, was software to Internet. The second, at Flatiron, was Internet to bubble. And the third, at USV, has been web 2 to mobile. I have always used a new firm to denote a new investment phase for me. Throw away the old. Start with the new.

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals agreed, and software has been treated as a form of speech ever since. So if software code is speech, Apple says the First Amendment also means the government can't tell Apple what to say.
Laura Sydell

I love software, because if you can imagine something, you can build it.
Ray Ozzie
Image
A little retrospection shows that although many fine, useful software systems have been designed by committees and built as part of multipart projects, those software systems that have excited passionate fans are those that are the products of one or a few designing minds, great designers.
