Civilization advances by extending the number of important operations

Philosophy: the finding of bad reasons for what one believes by
instinct.

Resume writing is just like dating, or applying for a bank loan, in that
nobody wants you if you're desperate.
-- Steve Yegge.

As builders and creators finding the perfect solution should not be our
main goal. We should find the perfect problem.

Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler.
-- Albert Einstein

Only make new mistakes.
-- Phil Dourado

The problem is that small examples fail to convince, and large examples
are too big to follow.
-- Steve Yegge.

It’s a problem if the design doesn’t let you add features at a later
date. If you have to redo a program, the hours you spend can cause you
to lose your competitive edge. A flexible program demonstrates the
difference between a good designer and someone who is just getting a
piece of code out.

In order to understand what another person is saying, you must assume
that it is true and try to find out what it could be true of.
-- George Miller

The only problems we can really solve in a satisfactory manner are those
that finally admit a nicely factored solution.

The job of a leader today is not to create followers. It’s to create
more leaders.
-- Ralph Nader

Quality of the people is better than the quality of the business idea.
Crappy people can screw up the best idea in the world.

Whatever is worth doing at all, is worth doing well.

The good thing about reinventing the wheel is that you get a round one.
-- Douglas Crockford (Author of JSON and JsLint)

Opportunities that present themselves to you are the consequence -- at
least partially -- of being in the right place at the right time. They
tend to present themselves when you're not expecting it -- and often
when you are engaged in other activities that would seem to preclude you
from pursuing them. And they come and go quickly -- if you don't jump
all over an opportunity, someone else generally will and it will vanish.

The minute you put the blame on someone else you’ve switch things from
being a problem you can control to a problem outside of your control.

For complex systems, the compiler and development environment need to be
in the same language that its supporting. It's the only way to grow
code.

It(mastering)’s knowing what you are doing.

To do something well you have to love it. So to the extent you can
preserve hacking as something you love, you're likely to do it well. Try
to keep the sense of wonder you had about programming at age 14. If
you're worried that your current job is rotting your brain, it probably
is.
-- Paul Graham.

J'ai toujours préféré la folie des passions à la sagesse de
l'indifférence.

Il y a très loin de la velléité à la volnt, de la volonté à la résolution, de la
résolution au choix des moyens, du choix ds moyens à lapplication.

Saying that Java is nice because it works on all OSes is like saying
that anal sex is nice because it works on all genders.
-- Alanna

Some people suggest that machines would be friendlier if input could be
in a natural language. But natural language is probably the worst kind
of input because it can be quite ambiguous. The process of retrieving
information from the computer would be so time-consuming that you would
be better off spending that time getting the information directly from
an expert.
-- Gary Kildall (inventor of CP/M, one of the first OS for the micro).

Simple things should be simple. Complex things should be possible.

Before software can be reusable it first has to be usable.

Every man prefers belief to the exercise of judgment.
-- Seneca

If we wish to count lines of code, we should not regard them as lines
produced
but as lines spent.
-- Edsger Dijkstra

You can recognize truth by its beauty and simplicity. When you get it
right, it is obvious that it is right.
-- Richard Feynman

The direct pursuit of happiness is a recipe for an unhappy life.
-- Donald Campbell

We really have to get over the idea that some stuff is just worth
knowing even if you never do anything with it. Human memories happily
erase stuff that has no purpose, so why try to fill up children's heads
with such stuff?
-- Roger Schank, Engines for Education

XML wasn't designed to be edited by humans on a regular basis.

If we wish to count lines of code, we should not regard them as lines

Everybody makes their own fun. If you don't make it yourself, it ain't
fun -- it's entertainment.
-- David Mamet (as relayed by Joss Whedon)

Mistakes were made.
-- Ronald Reagan

[How friendly will this machine be?] Well, I don’t think it’s a matter
of friendliness, because ultimately if the program is going to
accomplish anything of value, it will probably be relatively complex.
-- Gary Kildall (inventor of CP/M, one of the first OS for the micro).

Ne te mets pas de limite, la vie se chargera de la mettre a ta place.
