First solve the problem. Then, write the code. --Waseem Latif Good programmers write code that humans can understand. --Martin Fowler A change in perspective is worth 80 IQ points --Alan Kay College is a waystation - the last convenience store on the road to life-long responsibility. --Dennis Miller What is a university/college when the students lose interest? --Isaac Traxler How do you expect to succeed if you do not know the rules? --Anonymous 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 Programming isn't about what you know; it's about what you can figure out. --Chris Pine Any fool can write code that a computer can understand. Good programmers write code that humans can understand. --Nartin Fowler When in doubt, do something. --Harry Chapin Happiness should be a function without any parameters. --Pranshu Midha A university is what a college becomes when the faculty loses interest in students. --John Ciardi A language that doesn't affect the way you think about programming is not worth knowing. --Unix Fortune People who are really serious about software should make their own hardware --Alan Kay With software there are only two possibilites: either the users control the programme or the programme controls the users. If the programme controls the users, and the developer controls the programme, then the programme is an instrument of unjust power. --Richard Stallman ...I’m not saying simple code takes less time to write. You’d think it would since you end up with less total code, but a good solution isn’t an accretion of code, it’s a distillation of it. --Robert Nystrom Know the rules well, so you can break them effectively --Dalai Lama XIV 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 'Martyrdom' is the only way a person can become famous without ability. --George Bernard Shaw Everyday life is like programming, I guess. If you love something you can put beauty into it. --Donald Knuth 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 People who are really serious about software should make their own hardware --Alan Kay Progress is possible only if we train ourselves to think about programs without thinking of them as pieces of executable code. --Edsger W. Dijkstra There is nothing good or bad about knowledge itself; morality lies in the application of knowledge. --Jon Erickson It's got to be the going not the getting there that's good. --Hary Chapin A language that doesn't affect the way you think about programming is not worth knowing. --Alan Perlis Programming is the art of thinking really hard about how to avoid having to think really hard. --unknown 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 Any fool can write code that a computer can understand. Good programmers write code that humans can understand. --Martin Fowler The issue of finding the best possible answer or achieving maximum efficiency usually arises in industry only after serious performance or legal troubles. --Steven S. Skiena Walking on water and developing software from a specification are easy if both are frozen. --Edward V. Berard
