Short quotes by the masters

20080606 - Artomatic - 158-5841 - Hunter S. Thompson quote

David Wheeler, a world's first PhD in Computer Science, said : "Any problem in computer science can be solved with another layer of indirection."
Bjarne Stroustrup, the creater of C++, confessed: "I once gave a programming language talk without any code. I felt like such a fraud, I have not done it since."
Kernighan's Law: "Debugging is twice as hard as writing the program, so if you write the program as cleverly as you can, by definition, you won't be clever enough to debug it."
