“Il me semblait en effet qu'une idée, aussi brillante fût-elle, n'était pas vraiment digne d'être retenue si, pour simplement s'en souvenir, il fallait la noter.”
― Jean-Philippe Toussaint, L'Urgence et la Patience

“First, nothing is as permanent as a temporary fix. Most of these remained in place for the next year or two.”

“Si l'ancien monde supposait des garde-fous — le respect de l'indépendance de certaines institutions, les droits de l'homme et des minorités, l'attention portée aux répercussions internationales —, tout cela n'a plus la moindre valeur à l'heure des prédateurs.”
― Giuliano da Empoli, L'heure des prédateurs

“[...] la période des fêtes c'est plus délicat, il aurait fallu un plateau de fruits de mer, or ce sont là des choses qui se partagent, un plateau de fruits de mer en solitaire c'est une expérience ultime, même Françoise Sagan n'aurait pas pu décrire cela, c'est vraiment trop gore.”
― Michel Houellebecq, Serotonin

“It should never be possible for an administrator to break objects associations inside the application [he's talking about Spring dependency injection]. That's just wearing your guts on the outside. Whenever possible, keep production configuration properties separate from the basic wiring and plumbing of the application. They should be in separate files so the administrators do not accidentally edit internals. [...] Mixing them is the equivalent of putting the ejection seat button next to the radio tuner. Sooner or later, something bad will happen.”
― Michael T. Nygard, Release It!: Design and Deploy Production-Ready Software
