The mark of a mature programmer is willingness to throw out code you spent time on when you realize it’s pointless Picture Quote #1

The trouble with programmers is that you can never tell what a programmer is doing until it’s too late Picture Quote #1

The best programs are written so that computing machines can perform them quickly and so that human beings can understand them clearly. A programmer is ideally an essayist who works with traditional aesthetic and literary forms as well as mathematical concepts, to communicate the way that an algorithm works and to convince a reader that the results will be correct Picture Quote #1

I’m not a great programmer; I’m just a good programmer with great habits Picture Quote #1

The computer programmer is a creator of universes for which he alone is the lawgiver. No playwright, no stage director, no emperor, however powerful, has ever exercised such absolute authority to arrange a stage or field of battle and to command such unswervingly dutiful actors or troops Picture Quote #1

Don’t blame me for the fact that competent programming, as I view it as an intellectual possibility, will be too difficult for the average programmer, you must not fall into the trap of rejecting a surgical technique because it is beyond the capabilities of the barber in his shop around the corner Picture Quote #1

The difference between the best worker on computer hardware and the average may be 2 to 1, if you’re lucky. With automobiles, maybe 2 to 1. But in software, it’s at least 25 to 1. The difference between the average programmer and a great one is at least that. The secret of my success is that we have gone to exceptional lengths to hire the best people in the world. And when you’re in a field where the dynamic range is 25 to 1, boy, does it pay off Picture Quote #1

I will, in fact, claim that the difference between a bad programmer and a good one is whether he considers his code or his data structures more important. Bad programmers worry about the code. Good programmers worry about data structures and their relationships Picture Quote #1

We toast the Lisp programmer who pens his thoughts within nests of parentheses Picture Quote #1

I was hired as a computer programmer for a national laboratory at age 15 Picture Quote #1
