Alexandre’s Quotes

“When someone shows you who they are believe them the first time.”

“An omelette, promised in two minutes, may appear to be progressing nicely. But when it has not set in two minutes, the customer has two choices—wait or eat it raw. Software customers have had the same choices. The cook has another choice; he can turn up the heat. The result is often an omelette nothing can save—burned in one part, raw in another.”
― Frederick P. Brooks Jr., The Mythical Man-Month: Essays on Software Engineering
