1. Computers do not solve problems, they just implement solutions.
2. The best programmers are not just a little bit better than good programmers. This kind of goodness is not an order of magnitude, it depends on how the standard is determined: conceptual creativity, speed, originality of design or problem-solving ability.
3. Always write code as if the person ultimately maintaining your code is a raging psychopath who knows where you live.
4. Human error will cause mistakes, but to create real disasters, computers must be used.

11. Computers are of little use. The only thing they can do is tell you the answer.
12. First learn computer science and theory. Then form your own programming style. Then forget all about it and just change the program.
13. No matter how good the presentation is during rehearsal, once it is shown in front of an audience, the probability of the presentation being correct is inversely proportional to the number of viewers and directly proportional to the total amount of money invested.
14. Computers make many things easier to do, but most of them are not necessary.
15. Complexity kills everything. It messes up programmers' lives, it makes products difficult to plan, create, and test, it creates security challenges, and it causes frustration for end users and administrators.
16. A good programmer can use his brain, but a good guide can help us think of everything.
17. The function of good software is to make complex things look simple.
18. I have recently noticed that in the same culture, the paranoid fear of computers becoming intelligent and eventually taking over the world has almost completely disappeared. As far as I know, this is basically synchronized with the release of MS-DOS.
19. Every problem is a lock. You have to believe that there must be a key in the world that can open the lock, and you can also find the key.
20. I don’t care if it runs on your machine! We didn't install it on your machine!
21. Many of you know the virtues of programmers. Of course, there are three: laziness, impatience, and arrogance.
22. If McDonald’s operated like a software company, one out of every hundred Big Macs would give you food poisoning, and their response was, I’m so sorry, this one comes with two extras. coupons.
23. The most amazing achievement of the computer software industry is its continuous abandonment of the amazing results and stability of the hardware industry.
24. What does it feel like to sit quietly in front of a computer and write code? It was the feeling of a martial arts master practicing in seclusion.
25. Whether a computer can think about this question is like asking whether a submarine can swim.
26. The problem with programmers is that you can’t predict what they are doing until it is too late.
27. Software vendors are trying hard to make their software more 'easy to use'...so far, the best they can do is dig out all the old manuals and slap 'easy to use' on the cover These few words.
28. It would be very scary if all the employees in the company were as talkative as me, and they only talked but did not work. I don’t know much about computers, and I’m not good at sales, but it would be fine if someone in the company does.
29. Computers are useless. They will just tell you the answer.
30. Programmers are worthy of respect. The hands of programmers are the hands of magicians. They turn boring codes into colorful software.
31. Everyone should find something that suits them and do what they like; do what they are good at.
32. Measuring development progress by the number of lines of code is like measuring the progress of aircraft manufacturing by weight.
33. Programmers, what do they think? What they think about is always technology, and what they admire is always technology.
34. Computers are like bikinis, saving people a lot of random thinking.
35. In software, we rarely have meaningful needs. Even if it does, the only measure of success is whether our solution addresses a shift in the customer's perception of what the problem is.
36. Everyone makes mistakes, but if you want to completely mess things up, you have to ask a computer to take action.
37. In fact, just because you can’t find a mistake doesn’t mean that the mistake doesn’t exist. Similarly, just because you can’t see someone who is more skilled than you does not mean that there are no people in the world who are more skilled than you.
38. People with various personalities may be successful. It just depends on whether you use your own personality advantages to do things.
39. It is absurd to live for a hundred years but only remember 30M bytes. You know, that's less than a compact disk. The human condition is becoming increasingly degraded.
40. There is an old story about a man who wished his computer could be as useful as his telephone. His wish came true because I no longer knew what to do with my phone.
41. There are only two programming languages: one is scolded every day, and the other is no one uses.
42. There is no reason for everyone to have a computer at home.
43. In C++ it is more difficult to shoot yourself in the foot, but once you do it, the whole leg will be reimbursed.
44. Real innovation often comes from small start-up companies that are close to the market but cannot own the market.
45. Think about the poor current situation of our computer programs. It is obvious that software development is still a black box art and cannot yet be called an engineering discipline.
46. If cars could catch up with the development cycle of computers, a Rolls-Royce today would cost only $100, run 1 million miles per gallon, and explode once a year, destroying the contents inside. Everyone was killed.
47. Software must be usable before it can be reused.
48. My friend B told me very seriously that his computer understands human nature, has thoughts, and his computer has a soul.
49. The cool thing about working with computers is that they don’t get angry, they remember everything, and they don’t drink up all your beer.
50. If you don’t read your own code for more than 6 months, it will look like it was written by someone else when you look at it again.
51. It is almost impossible to teach good programming style to students who have been exposed to BASIC before. As potential programmers, they are mentally disabled and have no possibility of reinvention.
52. For programmers, most of the happiness comes from solving problems, (next88) especially solving problems independently, rather than from how big the CASE is and how big the bonus is.
53. The first 90% of the code takes up the first 90% of the development time. The remaining 10% of code takes up the other 90% of development time.
54. A great lathe is worth several times the salary of an ordinary lathe, but a great software code writer is worth 10,000 times the price of an ordinary software writer.
55. Saying that Java is good because it runs on multiple operating systems is like saying that anal sex is good because it can be used by both men and women.
56. If things continue like this, all human limbs will degenerate except for the fingers that press the buttons.
