Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.
Programming is like pinball. The reward for doing it well is the opportunity to do it again.
The three most dangerous things in the world are a programmer with a soldering iron, a hardware type with a program patch and a user with an idea.
A little perspective
Goes a long way
What is the world
When you look
With no eyes?
Life is chaotic, run by accidents and full of misconceptions.
In the midst you will find those who stand out.
But they are not visible to just anyone’s eye.
They inspire awe where you least expect it.
Subtly changing accidents into structure and meaning.
They see what others don’t.
To look beyond this worlds problems.
Aspiring to achieve the best.
Yet held back by the worst.
