“We build our computers the way we build our cities—over time, without a plan, on top of ruins.”
― Ellen Ullman, Life in Code: A Personal History of Technology

“We see a lot of feature-driven product design in which the cost of features is not properly accounted. Features can have a negative value to customers because they make the products more difficult to understand and use. We are finding that people like products that just work. It turns out that designs that just work are much harder to produce that designs that assemble long lists of features.”
― Douglas Crockford, JavaScript: The Good Parts

“Programming is about managing complexity: the complexity of the problem, laid upon the complexity of the machine. Because of this complexity, most of our programming projects fail.”

― Hendrith Vanlon Smith Jr, CEO of Mayflower-Plymouth

“Stop pushing people into web development as if it is the only true career path. Instead, push people into computer science, programming, coding, etc. There is so much competition because everyone is doing it, you just create a lot of demoralized and disgruntled people. There is more to programming than web development.”
― Olawale Daniel

“IT POPS, A new discovery, by: Jonathan Roy Mckinney

IT POPS is relative to space time in that it has two major components that follow the 3 laws of thermodynamics. The PIrandom creator injects an object with the relative XYZ coordinates in a model view projection that are derived by utilizing the correct Matrix math 11,10,10,10. Once Injected, the two way hash coin creator in time will create the entropy required to derive random shapes and reverse or abstract them into full objects for a complete wire frame like Michaelangelo could carve an Angel out of marble.”

“How organizations deal with failures or accidents is particularly instructive. Pathological organizations look for a “throat to choke”: Investigations aim to find the person or persons “responsible” for the problem, and then punish or blame them. But in complex adaptive systems, accidents are almost never the fault of a single person who saw clearly what was going to happen and then ran toward it or failed to act to prevent it. Rather, accidents typically emerge from a complex interplay of contributing factors. [...]
Thus, accident investigations that stop at “human error” are not just bad but dangerous. Human error should, instead, be the start of the investigation. Our goal should be to discover how we could improve information flow so that people have better or more timely information, or to find better tools to help prevent catastrophic failures following apparently mundane operations.”
― Nicole Forsgren, Accelerate: Building and Scaling High Performing Technology Organizations

“Martin Fowler

NoSQL Distilled:
"In general, with remote communication you want to reduce the number of round trips involved in the interaction, so it’s useful to be able to put a rich structure of information into a single request or response."

Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture"
"Due to the latency costs of remote calls, it's better to err on the side of sending too much data than have to make multiple calls.”
― Martin Fowler, NoSQL Distilled: A Brief Guide to the Emerging World of Polyglot Persistence

AI can help to cure certain diseases, but it will also replicate highly dysfunctional behaviors. Developers say they can control for these adverse behaviors. Yet behavioral psychologists themselves don't fully understand them.”
― James Rickards, MoneyGPT: AI and the Threat to the Global Economy
