“Iată de ce, înainte de toate, sunt îndemnat să cred că hotărârea cea mai bună pe care aș putea-o lua, ca și cea mai înțeleaptă, este aceea de-a pleca și de-a rămâne la distanța cuvenită, să fiu ca și cum n-aș fi.”

“Programming is a science dressed up as art, because most of us don’t understand the physics of software and it’s rarely, if ever, taught. The physics of software is not algorithms, data structures, languages, and abstractions. These are just tools we make, use, and throw away. The real physics of software is the physics of people. Specifically, it’s about our limitations when it comes to complexity and our desire to work together to solve large problems in pieces. This is the science of programming: make building blocks that people can understand and use easily, and people will work together to solve the very largest problems.”
