經典編程語錄

If debugging is the proceof removing software bugs, then programming must be the proceof putting them in. – Edsger Dijkstra

如果調試程序是移除臭蟲（軟件缺陷）的過程，那編寫程序就是把臭蟲放進來的過程。—— 迪傑斯特拉

The first 90% of the code accounts for the first 90% of the development time. The remaining 10% of the code accounts for the other 90% of the development time. – Tom Cargill

軟件開發的時間通常是這樣的：一開始的90%開發工作用掉了整個計劃90%的時間，剩下的10%同樣需要整個計劃90%的時間，而最終發佈前的修改也是如此。—— N.J. Rubenking

Writing the first 90 percent of a computer program takes 90 percent of the time. The remaining ten percent also takes 90 percent of the time and the final touches also take 90 percent of the time. ~N.J. Rubenking

“There are two ways of constructing a software design. One way is to make it so si-mp-le that there are obviously no deficiencies. And the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies.”- C.A.R. Hoare

設計軟件有兩種方法：一種是簡單到明顯沒有缺陷，另一種複雜到缺陷不那麼明顯。—— 託尼·霍爾

Measuring programming progreby lines of code is like measuring aircraft building progreby weight. – Bill Gates

用代碼行數來衡量程序的開發進度，就好比用重量來衡量飛機的製造進度。—— 比爾·蓋茨

“Always code as if the guy who ends up maintaining your code will be a violent psychopath who knows where you live.” – Martin Golding

在編寫代碼的時候，你要經常想着，那個最終維護你代碼的人可能將是一個有暴-力傾向的瘋子，並且他還知道你住在哪裏。—— 裏克·奧斯本

補充：關於這條語錄，StackOverflow 上也有個討論帖，給出的答案可能是 John Woods。

“The trouble with programmers is that you can never tell what a programmer is doing until it’s too late.” – Seymour Cray

程序員的.問題是，你無法知道他在做什麼，直到為時已晚。—— 西摩·克雷

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. – Rick Cook

今日之編程，已是竭力要建立更大更反白痴程序的軟件工程師，和正塑造更大更優質白痴的現實世界之間的比賽。目前來看，現實世界贏了。—— Rick Cook

“Most of you are familiar with the virtues of a programmer. There are three, of course: laziness, impatience, and hubris.” – Larry Wall

你們大部分人都熟悉程序員的美德。當然了，是這三種：懶惰、急躁、傲慢。—— 拉里·沃爾 （Perl 語言之父）

“Sometimes it pays to stay in bed on Monday, rather than spending the rest of the week debugging Monday’s code.” – Christopher Thompson

有的時候寧願付錢讓你週一在牀上待着，也不想讓你用這周剩下的時間去調試你在週一所寫的代碼。 —— 丹·所羅門

Walking on water and developing software from a specification are easy if both are frozen. – Edward V Berard

在水中行走，和根據一份需求開發軟件一樣，如果它們都“凍”住了，那就容易了。—— 愛德華·貝拉爾德
