Text Quotes
After moving to Los Angeles in the early 90s, I started looking into music for picture more seriously and in broader scope. My collaboration as a programmer and arranger with Graeme Revell exposed me for the first time to the full spectrum of film music, including the hectic demands of orchestral scoring and the power politics surrounding the finalization of any score for a major motion picture in Hollywood.  (Programmer Quotes) My first job was as a programmer. So I feel like I’m familiar with the information technology sector and the information technology culture.  (Programmer Quotes) Most programming languages contain good parts and bad parts. I discovered that I could be better programmer by using only the good parts and avoiding the bad parts.  (Programmer Quotes) Copying all or parts of a program is as natural to a programmer as breathing, and as productive. It ought to be as free  (Programmer Quotes) Computer programming is an art, because it applies accumulated knowledge to the world, because it requires skill and ingenuity, and especially because it produces objects of beauty. A programmer who subconsciously views himself as an artist will enjoy what he does and will do it better  (Programmer Quotes) It always helps to be a good programmer. It is important to like computers and to be able to think of things people would want to do with their computers  (Programmer Quotes) The intellectual property situation is bad and getting worse. To be a programmer, it requires that you understand as much law as you do technology  (Programmer Quotes) The mark of a mature programmer is willingness to throw out code you spent time on when you realize it’s pointless  (Programmer Quotes) The trouble with programmers is that you can never tell what a programmer is doing until it’s too late  (Programmer Quotes) The competent programmer is fully aware of the limited size of his own skull. He therefore approaches his task with full humility, and avoids clever tricks like the plague  (Programmer Quotes) If you’re a musician or actor, you know that if you’re successful, some level of fame goes along with that. You’re prepared. But how often does that happen to a programmer?  (Programmer Quotes) Computer languages of the future will be more concerned with goals and less with procedures specified by the programmer  (Programmer Quotes) Besides a mathematical inclination, an exceptionally good mastery of one’s native tongue is the most vital asset of a competent programmer  (Programmer Quotes) The computer programmer is a creator of universes for which he alone is responsible. Universes of virtually unlimited complexity can be created in the form of computer programs  (Programmer Quotes) 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  (Programmer Quotes) I’m not a great programmer; I’m just a good programmer with great habits  (Programmer Quotes) I’ve known people who have not mastered their tools who are good programmers, but not a tool master who remained a mediocre programmer  (Programmer Quotes) When I was at college there were two things I vowed I’d never do. One was go to a funeral and the other was deal with computers. And then I ended up being a computer programmer in a morgue  (Programmer Quotes) The use of the high level language made each programmer a factor of 5 to 10 more productive in a coding sense and more concerned with the semantics than the syntax of modules  (Programmer Quotes) What kind of programmer is so divorced from reality that she thinks she’ll get complex software right the first time?  (Programmer Quotes) 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  (Programmer Quotes) 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  (Programmer Quotes) Finding a programmer to work with if you don’t already know one will be a challenge. Merely judging if a programmer is exceptional vs. competent will be very hard if you are not one yourself. When you do find someone, work together informally for a while to test your compatibility  (Programmer Quotes) The primary duty of an exception handler is to get the error out of the lap of the programmer and into the surprised face of the user. Provided you keep this cardinal rule in mind, you can’t go far wrong  (Programmer Quotes) The corollary of constant change is ignorance. This is not often talked about: we computer experts barely know what we’re doing. We’re good at fussing and figuring out. We function well in a sea of unknowns. Our experience has only prepared us to deal with confusion. A programmer who denies this is probably lying, or else is densely unaware of himself  (Programmer Quotes) 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  (Programmer Quotes) It is a real service to humanity and the world to be a good programmer, particularly if you design great products. You make is easier for everybody, everybody has less headaches  (Programmer Quotes) At forty, I was too old to work as a programmer myself anymore; writing code is a young person’s job  (Programmer Quotes) Most of you are familiar with the virtues of a programmer. There are three, of course: laziness, impatience, and hubris  (Programmer Quotes) 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  (Programmer Quotes)
