My favorite programming quotes
  1. Don't communicate by sharing memory; share memory by communicating.
  2. Concurrency is about dealing with lots of things at once. Parallelism is about doing lots of things at once.
  3. Move fast and break things.
  4. We should forget about small efficiencies, say about 97% of the time: premature optimization is the root of all evil.
  5. The most important thing in a programming language is the name. A language will not succeed without a good name. I have recently invented a very good name, and now I am looking for a suitable language.
  6. Science is knowledge which we understand so well that we can teach it to a computer; and if we don’t fully understand something, it is an art to deal with it.
  7. There are only two kinds of languages: the ones people complain about and the ones nobody uses.
  8. Any organization that designs a system will produce a design whose structure is a copy of the organization's internal communication strucutre. (Conway's Law)
