Bad programmers worry about the code. Good programmers worry about data structures and their relationships.
Linus Torvalds
Image
How do we convince people that in programming simplicity and clarity - in short: what mathematicians call elegance - are not a dispensable luxury, but a crucial matter that decides between success and failure?
Edsger Dijkstra
Image
Ugly programs are like ugly suspension bridges: they're much more liable to collapse than pretty ones, because the way humans (especially engineer-humans) perceive beauty is intimately related to our ability to process and understand complexity. A language that makes it hard to write elegant code makes it hard to write good code.
Eric S. Raymond
Image
On two occasions I have been asked, 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.
Charles Babbage
Image
Your choice of programming model also is your choice of programming model, so to speak.
Anders Hejlsberg
Image
Know what you are talking about.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Software is a gas it expands to fill its container.
Nathan Myhrvold
Image
C++ tries to guard against Murphy, not Machiavelli.
Damian Conway
Image
The data shows pretty clearly that how voters watch video programming is dramatically changing and reinforces the need for political campaigns to better match their communications outreach efforts to the voters’ changing media habits.
Neil Newhouse
Image
My definition of an expert in any field is a person who knows enough about what's really going on to be scared.
P. J. Plauger
Image
Given the incredible power of these new technologies, shouldn't we be asking how we can best coexist with them? And if our own extinction is a likely, or even possible, outcome of our technological development, shouldn't we proceed with great caution?
Bill Joy
Image
Experience comes from bad judgment.
Mark Twain
Image
Beauty is our business.
Edsger Dijkstra
Image
Many computer scientists have fallen into the trap of trying to define languages like George Orwell's Newspeak, in which it is impossible to think bad thoughts. What they end up doing is killing the creativity of programming.
Larry Wall
Image
Our ultimate goal is extensible programming. By this, we mean the construction of hierarchies of modules, each module adding new functionality to the system.
Niklaus Wirth
Image
Owning a computer without programming is like having a kitchen and using only the microwave oven
Charles Petzold
Image
The agendas on the management side of the table now are not in sync like they used to be because you have vastly different entities supplying programming to networks.
Dick Wolf
Image
I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.
Confucius
Image
Any fool can write code that a computer can understand. Good programmers write code that humans can understand.
Martin Fowler
Image
If in physics there's something you don't understand, you can always hide behind the uncharted depths of nature. You can always blame God. You didn't make it so complex yourself. But if your program doesn't work, there is no one to hide behind. You cannot hide behind an obstinate nature. If it doesn't work, you've messed up.
Edsger Dijkstra
Image
Programming is all about numbers.
Shigeru Miyamoto
Image
Whether you want to uncover the secrets of the universe, or you just want to pursue a career in the 21st century, basic computer programming is an essential skill to learn
Stephen Hawking
Image
One of the things I've been trying to do is look for simpler or rules underpinning good or bad design. I think one of the most valuable rules is avoid duplication. Once and only once is the Extreme Programming phrase.
Martin Fowler
Image
It is not that uncommon for the cost of an abstraction to outweigh the benefit it delivers. Kill one today!
