But It just needs a genius to understand its simplicity. --Dennis Ritchie Before software can be reusable, it first has to be usable. --Ralph Johnson Good judgment comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgment. --Fred Brooks Theory is when you know something, but it doesn't work. Practice is when something works, but you don't know why it works. Programmers combine theory and practice: Nothing works and they don't know why. It's hard enough to find an error in your code when you're looking for it; it's even harder when you've assumed your code is error-free. -Steve McConnell Code Complete If builders built buildings the way programmers wrote programs, then the first woodpecker that came along would destroy civilization. -Gerald Weinberg The Six Phases of a Project: Enthusiasm Disillusionment Panic Search for the Guilty Punishment of the Innocent Praise for non-participants Good code is its own best documentation. As you're about to add a comment, ask yourself, 'How can I improve the code so that this comment isn't needed?' Improve the code and then document it to make it even clearer. --Steve McConnell Code Complete The trouble with the world is that the stupid are sure and the intelligent are full of doubt. --Bertrand Russell No matter how slick (efficient) the demo is in rehearsal, when you do it in front of a live audience the probability of a flawless presentation is inversely proportional to the number of people watching, raised to the power of the amount of money involved. One of the main causes of the fall of the Roman Empire was that, lacking zero, they had no way to indicate successful termination of their C programs. --Robert Firth Fifty years of programming language research and we end up with C++? --Richard A. O'Keefe C programmers never die. They are just cast into void. If debugging is the process of removing bugs, then programming must be the process of putting them in. --Edsger Dijkstra You can either have software quality or you can have pointer arithmetic; you cannot have both at the same time. --(Bertrand Meyer) (Thoughtful Ones...) There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third works. --Alan J. Perlis Measuring programming progress by lines of code is like measuring aircraft building progress by weight. --Bill Gates The first 90% of the code accounts for the first 90% of the development time. The remaining 10% of the code accounts for the other 90% of the development time. --Tom Cargill Programmers are in a race with the Universe to create bigger and better idiot-proof programs The Universe is trying to create bigger and better idiots. So far the Universe is winning. --Anon [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] __________ NOD32 3773 (20090117) Information __________ This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.eset.com [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
