“The key to using abstraction effectively in programming is finding a notion of relevance that is appropriate for both the builder of an abstraction and the potential clients of the abstraction. That is the true art of programming.”
John V. Guttag, Introduction to Computation and Programming Using Python

“A computer does two things, and two things only: it performs calculations and it remembers the results of those calculations.”
John V. Guttag, Introduction to Computation and Programming Using Python

“Texas sharpshooter fallacy: Imagine that you are driving down a country road in Texas. You see a barn that has six targets painted on it, and a bullet hole at the very center of each target. “Yes sir,” says the owner of the barn, “I never miss.” “That’s right,” says his spouse, “there ain’t a man in the state of Texas who’s more accurate with a paint brush.” Got it? He fired the six shots, and then painted the targets around them.”
John V. Guttag, Introduction to Computation and Programming Using Python: With Application to Understanding Data
