Our consciousness is programmed. We see things a certain way from a young age - we're programmed to keep doing them that way. Then you have to spend adulthood learning how to overcome it, to read out the programs. Try to create. I want to tell people to create. Just start by creating your day. Then create your life. --Prince Along every step of our journey through life, our mind is being programmed. If we are not programming it ourselves, someone else is doing it to us. --Joseph Rain Know the rules well, so you can break them effectively --Dalai Lama XIV Not only is this incomprehensible, but the ink is ugly and the paper is from the wrong kind of tree. --Professor W. Perl – The only language that looks the same before and after RSA encryption. --Keith Bostic Everyday life is like programming, I guess. If you love something you can put beauty into it. --Donald Knuth There is nothing good or bad about knowledge itself; morality lies in the application of knowledge. --Jon Erickson Delivering good software today is often better than perfect software tomorrow, so finish things and ship. --David Thomas College is a waystation - the last convenience store on the road to life-long responsibility. --Dennis Miller Some of the best programming is done on paper, really. Putting it into the computer is just a minor detail. --Max Kanat-Alexander People who are really serious about software should make their own hardware --Alan Kay A language that doesn't affect the way you think about programming is not worth knowing. --Alan Perlis The most disastrous thing that you can ever learn is your first programming language. --Alan Kay What kind of programmer is so divorced from reality that she thinks she'll get complex software right the first time? --James Alan Gardner Think twice, code once. --Waseem Latif There ain't no rules around here. We are trying to accomplish something. --Thomas Edison Object-oriented programming offers a sustainable way to write spaghetti code. It lets you accrete programs as a series of patches. --Paul Graham Einstein repeatedly argued that there must be simplified explanations of nature, because God is not capricious or arbitrary. No such faith comforts the software engineer. --Frederick P. Brooks Jr. A university is what a college becomes when the faculty loses interest in students. --John Ciardi Any fool can write code that a computer can understand. Good programmers write code that humans can understand. --Nartin Fowler So if an algorithm is an idealized recipe, a program is the detailed set of instructions for a cooking robot preparing a month of meals for an army while under enemy attack --Kernighan Brian The personal computer isn't "personal" because it's small and portable and yours to own. It's "personal" because you pour yourself into it - your thoughts, your programming. --Audrey Watters How do you expect to succeed if you do not know the rules? --Anonymous Always code as if the guy who ends up maintaining your code will be a violent psychopath who knows where you live --John Woods The really good programmers spend a lot of time programming. I haven’t seen very good programmers who don’t spend a lot of time programming. If I don’t program for two or three days, I need to do it. And you get better at it—you get quicker at it. The side effect of writing all this other stuff is that when you get to doing ordinary problems, you can do them very quickly. --Joe Armstrong But while you can always write 'spaghetti code' in a procedural language, object-oriented languages used poorly can add meatballs to your spaghetti. --Andrew Hunt I'm a programmer. I like programming. And the best way I've found to have a positive impact on code is to write it. --Robert C. Martin
