Excellent Programming Quotations
20 August 2008
While looking for an appropriate signature quote I stumbled across this website. I really liked a few of the quotes.
- And the users exclaimed with a laugh and a taunt: “It’s just what we asked
for but not what we want.”
- If the lessons of history teach us anything it is that nobody learns the lessons that history teaches us.
- The Six Phases of a Project:
* Enthusiasm
* Disillusionment
* Panic
* Search for the Guilty
* Punishment of the Innocent
* Praise for non-participants
- Theory is when you know something, but it doesn’t work.
Practice is when something works, but you don’t know why.
Programmers combine theory and practice:
Nothing works and they don’t know why.
- Learning is not compulsory. Neither is survival.
- Any code of your own that you haven’t looked at for six or more months might as well have been written by someone else
- Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I’m not sure about the universe
- Good programmers use their brains, but good guidelines save us having to
think out every case.
This is just a few of those which I liked from the entire list. Find time to visit the website and enjoy the quotes or to use them in your own email signatures.
