Software Quotes

I am convinced that there is a need for high quality software, and the time will come when it will be recognized that it is worth investing effort in its development and in using a careful, structured approach based on safe, structured languages Picture Quote #1

Software touches all of these different things you use, and tech companies are revolutionizing all different areas of the world... from how we shop to how farming works, all these things that aren’t technical are being turned upside down by software. So being able to play in that universe really makes a difference Picture Quote #1

Never in the annals of software engineering was so much owed by so many to so few lines of code Picture Quote #1

I believe that software, and in fact entire companies, should be run in a way that assumes that the sum of the talent of people outside your walls is greater than the sum of the few you have inside. None of us are as smart as all of us Picture Quote #1

What kind of programmer is so divorced from reality that she thinks she’ll get complex software right the first time? Picture Quote #1

To be able to choose between proprietary software packages is to be able to choose your master. Freedom means not having a master. And in the area of computing, freedom means not using proprietary software Picture Quote #1

The hardest part of the software task is arriving at a complete and consistent specification, and much of the essence of building a program is in fact the debugging of the specification Picture Quote #1

You can drive a car by looking in the rear view mirror as long as nothing is ahead of you. Not enough software professionals are engaged in forward thinking Picture Quote #1

The job of the average manager requires a shift in focus every few minutes. The job of the average software developer requires that the developer not shift focus more often than every few hours Picture Quote #1

In software, the chain isn’t as strong as its weakest link; it’s as weak as all the weak links multiplied together Picture Quote #1

Patents? Disappointed? Don’t think of it that way. Software patents weren’t feasible then so we chose not to risk $10,000 Picture Quote #1

If you love a medium made of software, there’s a danger that you will become entrapped in someone else’s recent careless thoughts. Struggle against that Picture Quote #1

Software never was perfect and won’t get perfect. But is that a license to create garbage? The missing ingredient is our reluctance to quantify quality Picture Quote #1

Our civilization depends critically on software, and we have a dangerously low degree of professionalism in the computer fields Picture Quote #1

The free software community should be supported more widely. I’m totally in solidarity with what they do Picture Quote #1

Every computer divides itself into its hardware and its software, the machine host to its algorithm, the human being to his mind. It is hardly surprising that men and women have done what computers now do long before computers could do anything at all. The dissociation between mind and matter in men and machines is very striking; it suggests that almost any stable and reliable organization of material objects can execute an algorithm and so come to command some form of intelligence Picture Quote #1

Of course, I have my own limits as to how much game software I can take care of at any one time Picture Quote #1

To create a usable piece of software, you have to fight for every fix, every feature, every little accommodation that will get one more person up the curve. There are no shortcuts. Luck is involved, but you don’t win by being lucky, it happens because you fought for every inch Picture Quote #1

There are thousands of ways to mess up or damage a software projects, and only a few ways to do them well Picture Quote #1

It’s hard to propose a $100 laptop for a world community of kids and then not say in the same breath that you’re going to depend on the community to make software for it Picture Quote #1

Indeed one of the best ways to deflect attacks is to make it look like they’re succeeding. It’s the software equivalent of playing dead Picture Quote #1

Free software is part of a broader phenomenon, which is a shift toward recognizing the value of shared work. Historically, shared stuff had a very bad name. The reputation was that people always abused shared things, and in the physical world, something that is shared and abused becomes worthless. In the digital world, I think we have the inverse effect, where something that is shared can become more valuable than something that is closely held, as long as it is both shared and contributed to by everybody who is sharing in it Picture Quote #1

Find the simplest model that is not a lie is the key to better software design Picture Quote #1

When someone builds a bridge, he uses engineers who have been certified as knowing what they are doing. Yet when someone builds you a software program, he has no similar certification, even though your safety may be just as dependent upon that software working as it is upon the bridge supporting your weight Picture Quote #1

More software projects have gone awry for lack of calendar time than for all other causes combined Picture Quote #1

I don’t like creating software anymore. It’s too exact. It’s like karate; there’s no room for error Picture Quote #1

I tend to not discriminate when it comes to people I can learn from. Basically, if someone has built a meaningful business in software, technology or media, faced disruption and adversity, and overcame underdog status, I want to know how they did it Picture Quote #1

As the web becomes more and more of a part of our every day lives, it would be a horrible tragedy if it was locked up inside of companies and proprietary software Picture Quote #1

For me, it always comes back to the blogger, the author, the designer, the developer. You build software for that core individual person, and then smart organisations adopt it and dumb organisations die Picture Quote #1

Watching nonprogrammers trying to run software companies is like watching someone who doesn’t know how to surf trying to surf. Even if he has great advisers standing on the shore telling him what to do, he still falls off the board again and again Picture Quote #1
