Jon Franklin
Simplicity, carried to the extreme, becomes elegance.

Terry Baker
A program is never less than 90% complete, and never more than 95% complete.

Steve Swartz
When you are stuck in a traffic jam with a Porsche, all you do is burn more gas in idle.  Scalability is about building wider roads, not about building faster cars.

Paul Graham
Everyone by now presumably knows about the danger of premature optimization.  I think we should be just as worried about premature design – designing too early what a program should do.

Danny Thorpe
Programming without an overall architecture or design in mind is like exploring a cave with only a flashlight: You don’t know where you’ve been, you don’t know where you’re going, and you don’t know quite where you are.

David Heinemeier Hansson
The best way to predict the future is to implement it.

David Hubel
We need above all to know about changes; no one wants or needs to be reminded 16 hours a day that his shoes are on.

Charles Babbage
On two occasions I have been asked, ‘If you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?’  I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.

Albert Einstein
Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler.

IO Angell
Today, most software exists, not to solve a problem, but to interface with other software.

Milt Bryce
Good specifications will always improve programmer productivity far better than any programming tool or technique.

Richard Moore
The difference between theory and practice is that in theory, there is no difference between theory and practice.

Atli Björgvin Oddsson
Don’t document the problem, fix it.

Dave Parnas
As a rule, software systems do not work well until they have been used, and have failed repeatedly, in real applications.

Norm Schryer
If the code and the comments do not match, possibly both are incorrect.

Larry Wall
I think it’s a new feature.  Don’t tell anyone it was an accident.

Anders Hejlsberg
If you don’t handle [exceptions], we shut your application down.  That dramatically increases the reliability of the system.

Richard Pattis
When debugging, novices insert corrective code; experts remove defective code.

Gordon Schulmeyer
In a software project team of 10, there are probably 3 people who produce enough defects to make them net negative producers.

Alan Perlis
I think it is inevitable that people program poorly.  Training will not substantially help matters.  We have to learn to live with it.

Edsger Dijkstra
Program testing can be a very effective way to show the presence of bugs, but is hopelessly inadequate for showing their absence.

Jon Franklin
