54. If a substantial increase in fees only results in dubious improvements in performance, this situation is only tolerable in the case of horse racing and women.

55. In fact, just because you can’t find errors doesn’t mean they don’t exist. Likewise, just because you can’t see people with better skills than you doesn’t mean that there aren’t people in the world with better skills than you.

56. Debugging is twice as difficult as writing code. So if you're too clever when writing code, by definition you won't be able to debug it.

76. No matter what those computer books claim, just remember that you are not a 'puppet'. The real puppets are those who, despite being tech experts, are unable to design hardware and software that is easy to use because it is what the average consumer depends on for their life.

77. A lucky hacker can take a few months to produce something that a small development team (for example, 7-8 people) worked hard for for more than a year. thing. IBM often reports that some programmers are a hundred times more productive than other workers, or even more.
