The question of | whether computers | can think |
is like the | question of whether | submarines can swim. |
Any sufficiently | advanced bug | is indistinguishable |
from | a | feature. |
Computers are good | at following | instructions, but |
not | at reading | your mind. |
Being forced to | write comments | improves code, because |
it is easier to fix | a crock than | to explain it. |
There is nothing | so useless as | doing efficiently |
that which | should not be | done at all. |
Any fool can write | code that a computer can | understand. Good |
programmers write | code that humans | can understand. |
A complex system | that works is invariably | found to have |
evolved from | a simple | system that worked. |
There are only 10 | kinds of people in | the world; those |
that understand | binary, and those | who don't. |
A Java class | is where we teach | objects how to behave. |
