It Is Much More Rewarding To Do

Computer Programming Is An Art, Because It Applies Accumulated Knowledge To The World, Because It Requires Skill And Ingenuity, And Especially Because It Produces Objects Of Beauty. A Programmer Who Subconsciously Views Himself As An Artist Will Enjoy What He Does And Will Do It Better.

I Think People Who Write Programs Do Have At Least A Glimmer Of Extra Insight Into The Nature Of God... Because Creating A Program Often Means That You Have To Create A Small Universe

The Most Important Thing In The 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.

Always Remember, However, That There’s Usually A Simpler And Better Way To Do Something Than The First Way That Pops Into Your Head.

The Manuals We Got From Ibm Would Show Examples Of Programs And I Knew I Could Do A Heck Of A Lot Better Than That. So I Thought I Might Have Some Talent.
