UNIX is simple. But It just needs a genius to understand its simplicity.
\n–Dennis Ritchie<\/p>\n
Before software can be reusable, it first has to be usable.
\n–Ralph Johnson<\/p>\n
Good judgment comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgment.
\n–Fred Brooks<\/p>\n
It’s hard enough to find an error in your code when you’re looking for it;
\nIt’s even harder when you’ve assumed your code is error-free.
\n–Steve McConnell Code Complete<\/p>\n
The trouble with the world is that the stupid are sure and the intelligent are full of doubt.
\n–Bertrand Russell<\/p>\n
If debugging is the process of removing bugs,
\nThen programming must be the process of putting them in.
\n–Edsger Dijkstra<\/p>\n
You can either have software quality or you can have pointer arithmetic;
\nYou cannot have both at the same time.
\n–Bertrand Meyer<\/p>\n
There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third works.
\n–Alan J. Perlis<\/p>\n
Measuring programming progress by lines of code is like measuring aircraft building progress by weight.
\n–Bill Gates<\/p>\n
The first 90% of the code accounts for the first 90% of the development time.
\nThe remaining 10% of the code accounts for the other 90% of the development time.
\n–Tom Cargill<\/p>\n
Programmers are in a race with the Universe to create bigger and better idiot-proof programs.
\nThe Universe is trying to create bigger and better idiots.
\nSo far the Universe is winning.
\n–Anon<\/p>\n
Theory is when you know something, but it doesn’t work.
\nPractice is when something works, but you don’t know why it works.
\nProgrammers combine Theory and Practice: Nothing works and they don’t know why.<\/p>\n
The Six Phases of a Project:
\n\u00c2\u00b7 Enthusiasm
\n\u00c2\u00b7 Disillusionment
\n\u00c2\u00b7 Panic
\n\u00c2\u00b7 Search for the Guilty
\n\u00c2\u00b7 Punishment of the Innocent
\n\u00c2\u00b7 Praise for non-participants<\/p>\n
No matter how slick (efficient) the demo is in rehearsal,
\nWhen you do it in front of a live audience
\nThe probability of a flawless presentation
\nIs inversely proportional to the number of people watching,
\nRaised to the power of the amount of money involved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
