Where friends have access to your private members. The best thing about a boolean is even if you are wrong, you are only off by a bit. Without requirements or design, programming is the art of adding bugs to an empty text file. If it keeps up, man will atrophy all his limbs but the push-button finger
If McDonalds were run like a software company, one out of every hundred Big Macs would give you food poisoning, and the response would be, ‘We’re sorry, here’s a coupon for two more.’ There are only two industries that refer to their customers as ‘users’. Come to think of it, there are already a million monkeys on a million typewriters, and Usenet is nothing like Shakespeare. The parts of a computer system that can be kicked. Computers are like bikinis. They save people a lot of guesswork.
Now it’s harder to shoot yourself in the foot, but when you do, you blow off your whole leg. (Bjarne Stroustrup) First, solve the problem. Then, write the code. (John Johnson) I think Microsoft named .Net so it wouldn’t show up in a Unix directory listing. (Oktal) The city’s central computer told you? R2D2, you know better than to trust a strange computer! (C3PO) You can either have software quality or you can have pointer arithmetic, but you cannot have both at the same time. (Bertrand Meyer)
As soon as we started programming, we found to our surprise that it wasn’t as easy to get programs right as we had thought. Debugging had to be discovered. I can remember the exact instant when I realized that a large part of my life from then on was going to be spent in finding mistakes in my own programs. In order to understand recursion, one must first understand recursion. If debugging is the process of removing bugs, then programming must be the process of putting them in. A programmer is a person who passes as an exacting expert on the basis of being able to turn out, after innumerable punching, an infinite series of incomprehensive answers calculated with micrometric precisions from vague assumptions based on debatable figures taken from inconclusive documents and carried out on instruments of problematical accuracy by persons of dubious reliability and questionable mentality for the avowed purpose of annoying and confounding a hopelessly defenseless department that was unfortunate enough to ask for the information in the first place.
