You think you know when you learn, are more sure when you can write,
even more when you can teach, but certain when you can program.

Controlling complexity is the essence of computer programming.

I guess, when you're drunk, every woman looks beautiful and every
language looks (like) a Lisp :)

A language that doesn't affect the way you think about programming, is
not worth knowing.
-- Alan Perlis

Remember: you are alone. Every time you can get help from someone,
it is an opportunity: you should eagerly size it. But then, promptly
return to normal mode: you are alone and you must be prepared to solve
every problem yourself.
-- Eric KEDJI

The important thing is not to stop questioning.
-- Albert Einstein

C++ is history repeated as tragedy. Java is history repeated as farce.

This challenge, viz. the confrontation with the programming task, is so
unique that this novel experience can teach us a lot about ourselves. It
should deepen our understanding of the processes of design and creation,
it should give us better control over the task of organizing our
thoughts. If it did not do so, to my taste we should no deserve the
computer at all! It has allready taught us a few lessons, and the one I
have chosen to stress in this talk is the following. We shall do a much
better programming job, provided that we approach the task with a full
appreciation of its tremenduous difficulty, provided that we stick to
modest and elegant programming languages, provided that we respect the
intrinsec limitations of the human mind and approach the task as Very
Humble Programmers.

Be the change you want to see in the world.
