7. Awesome It Quotes

Quotes

Quote: “Most software today is very much like an Egyptian pyramid with millions of bricks piled on top of each other, with no structural integrity, but just done by brute force and thousands of slaves.”

“Technology is anything that wasn’t around when you were born.”

Author:

Alan Kay (Computer Scientist, pioneering work on object-oriented programming)

Quote: “Any sufficiently advanced technology is equivalent to magic.”

Author:

Arthur C. Clarke (Science writer, futurist and inventor)

Quote: “This is the whole point of technology. It creates an appetite for immortality on the one hand. It threatens universal extinction on the other. Technology is lust removed from nature.”

Author:

Don DeLillo (Author American novelist, playwright and essayist)

Quote: “Raise your quality standards as high as you can live with, avoid wasting your time on routine problems, and always try to work as closely as possible at the boundary of your abilities. Do this, because it is the only way of discovering how that boundary should be moved foward.”

Author:

Edsger Wybe Dijkstra (Computer scientist and an early pioneer in many research areas of computing science. Turing Award Winner)

Quote: “Programs must be written for people to read, and only incidentally for machines to execute.”

Author:

Harold Abelson (Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at MIT, a fellow of the IEEE, and a founding director of both Creative Commons and the Free Software Foundation)

Quote: “Technology frightens me to death. It’s designed by engineers to impress other engineers. And they always come with instruction booklets that are written by engineers for other engineers — which is why almost no technology ever works.”

Author:

John Cleese (actor, voice actor, screenwriter, producer, and comedian)

Quote: “One of my most productive days was throwing away 1000 lines of code.”

Author:

Ken Thompson (computer scientist, early developer of UNIX OS)

Author:

Larry Wall is a computer programmer and author. He created the Perl programming language.

Quote: “Always code as if the guy who ends up maintaining your code will be a violent psychopath who knows where you live.”

Author:

Martin Fowler (author and speaker on software development)

Quote: “If we continue to develop our technology without wisdom or prudence, our servant may prove to be our executioner.”

Author:

Omar Bradley (General, US Army)

Quote: “Good code is its own best documentation. As you’re about to add a comment, ask yourself, ‘How can I improve the code so that this comment isn’t needed?'”

Author:

Steve McConnell (author of many software engineering books including “Code Complete”)

Quote: “The real danger is not that computers will begin to think like men, but that men will begin to think like computers.”

Author:

Sydney Harris (Journalist for the Chicago Daily News and, later, the Chicago Sun-Times)

Quote: “There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult.”

Author:

Tony Hoare (British computer scientist, winner of the 1980 Turing Award)
