Developers rejoice .. ;)



Good judgment comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgment

----Fred Brooks


It's hard enough to find an error in your code when you're looking for it;
It's even harder when you've assumed your code is error-free
---- Steve McConnell Code Complete


The trouble with the world is that the stupid are sure and the intelligent are full of doubt
----Bertrand Russell


If debugging is the process of removing bugs,
Then programming must be the process of putting them in
----Edsger Dijkstra


You can either have software quality or you can have pointer arithmetic;
You cannot have both at the same time
----Bertrand Meyer


There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third works
----Alan J. Perlis


Measuring programming progress by lines of code is like measuring aircraft building progress by weight
----Bill Gates


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


Programmers are in a race with the Universe to create bigger and better idiot - proof programs.
The Universe is trying to create bigger and better idiots.
So far the Universe is winning
----Anon


Theory is when you know something, but it doesn't work.
Practice is when something works, but you don't know why it works.
Programmers combine Theory and Practice: Nothing works and they don't know why.


The Six Phases of a Project:
· Enthusiasm
· Disillusionment
· Panic
· Search for the Guilty
· Punishment of the Innocent
· Praise for non-participants



Last but not least ! ....
No matter how slick (efficient) the demo is in rehearsal,
When you do it in front of a live audience
The probability of a flawless presentation
Is inversely proportional to the number of people watching,
Raised to the power of the amount of money involved.
