No workout today, just programming quotes

February 2nd, 2010 jamie No comments

“Some people, when confronted with a problem, think “I know, I’ll use regular expressions.” Now they have two problems.” – Jamie Zawinski

“In order to understand recursion, one must first understand recursion.”

Linux is only free if your time has no value – Jamie Zawinski

It works on my machine. –Anonymous programmer

“There are 10 types of people in the world, those who can read binary, and those who can’t.”

Theory is when you know something, but it doesn’t work. Practice is when something works, but you don’t know why. Programmers combine theory and practice: Nothing works and they don’t know why.

“There’s no test like production”–Anonymous programmer

‘If we’re supposed to work in Hex, why have we only got A fingers?’ – johnwm

“Programming is like sex: one mistake and you have to support it for the rest of your life.” — Michael Sinz

I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code

I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by. – Douglas Adams

A good programmer looks both ways before crossing a one-way street.
