Object-oriented programming is an exceptionally bad idea which could only have originated in California.
Edsger Dijkstra
Image
The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance.
Carl Sagan
Image
Programs must be written for people to read, and only incidentally for machines to execute.
Hal Abelson
Image
The primary duty of an exception handler is to get the error out of the lap of the programmer and into the surprised face of the user. Provided you keep this cardinal rule in mind, you can't go far wrong.
Verity Stob

New management at Nine has launched a concerted attack on its cost base in order to restore margins through eliminating waste, improving efficiency and lowering programming costs.
James Packer
Image
Maybe today we aren't being told that our brains are not capable of such things [like programming], but we [as a women] are being told that we are not good enough or smart enough or that our successes do not belong to us.
Anita Sarkeesian
Image
We teachers make the road, others will make the journey.
Victor Hugo

A most important, but also most elusive, aspect of any tool is its influence on the habits of those who train themselves in its use. If the tool is a programming language this influence is, whether we like it or not, an influence on our thinking habits.... A programming language is a tool that has profound influence on our thinking habits.
Edsger Dijkstra

The computing scientist's main challenge is not to get confused by the complexities of his own making.
Edsger Dijkstra
Image
I used to do all my programming on a BBC computer. It was limited to 16 tracks, and you used the keyboard, not a mouse, to input, but I was using it so long, I got quite fast at it.
Vince Clarke
Image
Computers make it easier to do a lot of things, but most of the things they make it easier to do don't need to be done.
Andy Rooney
Image
Sequential programming is really hard, and parallel programming is a step beyond that.
Andrew S. Tanenbaum
Image
The best is the enemy of the good.
Voltaire
Image
I think that you try to raise the bar on whatever you do because you know, in this day of having to deal with a lot of reality TV, people say that scripted programming is dying, so you have to try to create something that can live in people's minds, long after they see it.
Kevin Costner

All models are wrong some models are useful.
W. Edwards Deming
Image
We already have a professor who's using an online social network of MIT alums to help educate students in programming. Just imagine expanding that in Facebook-fashion to tens or hundreds of millions of people around the world.
Anant Agarwal
Image
Just remember: you're not a 'dummy,' no matter what those computer books claim. The real dummies are the people who-though technically expert-couldn't design hardware and software that's usable by normal consumers if their lives depended upon it.
Walt Mossberg
Image
Testing is not the point. The point is about responsibility.
Kent Beck
Image
Whenever there is a hard job to be done I assign it to a lazy man he is sure to find an easy way of doing it.
Walter Chrysler
Image
All objects transmit their image to the eye in pyramids and the nearer to the eye these pyramids are intersected the smaller will the image appear of the objects which cause them.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
The value of a prototype is in the education it gives you, not in the code itself.
Amari Cooper
Image
Invention is arrived at by intelligent stumbling.
Amar Bose
Image
Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow (e.g., given a large enough beta-tester and co-developer base, almost every problem will be characterized quickly and the fix obvious to someone).
Eric S. Raymond
Image
Experimental evidence is the final arbiter of right and wrong.
