Top Computer Programming Quotes

Computer Programming Quotes By Penny Reid

If she doesn't learn about data structures at home, she'll just learn about it on the streets." Sandra laughed. This was Greg's stock answer for all the age-inappropriate activities he tried to teach the kids. Most of them were odd, but benign, like computer programming. However some - like coaching them to win every argument by declaring, That sounds like something Hitler would say -were much less benign. — Penny Reid

Computer Programming Quotes By Bill Maher

Amazon has included me in an opportunity to provide top-shelf television-style programming live on the world's computer screens. To hold forth with the industry's very best actors, directors, musicians, authors - I'm thrilled to be on the cutting edge of this. — Bill Maher

Computer Programming Quotes By Paulo Caroli

Software development is the process of creating a computer software.
It includes preparing a design, coding the program, and fixing the
bugs. The final goal of software development is to translate user
needs to software product, while continuously improving the team
and the process. — Paulo Caroli

Computer Programming Quotes By Raymond Simard

GOTO, n.: A programming tool that exists to allow structured programmers to complain about unstructured programmers. — Raymond Simard

Computer Programming Quotes By Harry Bridges

Finally, it was about how people treat one another. It was about human dignity. We forced the employers to treat us as equals, to sit down and talk to us about the work we do, how we do it, and what we get paid for it. And I believe that the principles for which we fought in 1934 are still true and still useful. Whether your job is pushing a four-wheeler, or programming a computer, I don't know of any way for working people to win basic economic justice and dignity except by being organized into a solid, democratic union. — Harry Bridges

Computer Programming Quotes By Alan J. Perlis

What's in your hands I think and hope is intelligence: the ability to see the machine as more than when you were first led up to it that you can make it more. — Alan J. Perlis

Computer Programming Quotes By Larissa Ione

I suggested that someone grab Bill Gates and get him to install a new operating system, but apparently he's not a demon" At Reaver's eye roll she nodded. "Right? I was surprised too. — Larissa Ione

Computer Programming Quotes By Todd Park

Technology and computers are very much at the core of our economy going forward. To be prepared for the demands of the 21st century-and to take advantage of its opportunities-it is essential that more of our students today learn basic computer programming skills, no matter what field of work they want to pursue. — Todd Park

Computer Programming Quotes By Brian Kernighan

Even though most people won't be directly involved with programming, everyone is affected by computers, so an educated person should have a good understanding of how computer hardware, software, and networks operate. — Brian Kernighan

Computer Programming Quotes By Kim Stanley Robinson

If you program a purpose into a computer program, does that constitute its will? Does it have free will, if a programmer programmed its purpose? Is that programming any different from the way we are programmed by our genes and brains? Is a programmed will a servile will? Is human will a servile will? And is not the servile will the home and source of all feelings of defilement, infection, transgression, and rage? — Kim Stanley Robinson

Computer Programming Quotes By Robert C. Martin

A long descriptive name is better than a short enigmatic name. A long descriptive name is better than a long descriptive comment. — Robert C. Martin

Computer Programming Quotes By Bill Gates

The job was to put into a, a computer with only 4K of memory an entire basic full blown, floating point Basic and that's one of the greatest programming feats I've ever had a chance to work on. — Bill Gates

Computer Programming Quotes By Brian Kernighan

Programming language is very specific to instructing a computer to do a particular structure of a sequence. It's the very way you tell the machine what you want it to do. — Brian Kernighan

Computer Programming Quotes By Keith Fullerton Whitman

I became this guy that does drum programming, and I don't want to be that guy anymore. I don't want to sit in front of my computer for 18 hours programming 16 bars of music. — Keith Fullerton Whitman

Computer Programming Quotes By John Brunner

I'm proud of it. Apart from marking the first occasion when I used my talent on behalf of other people without being asked and without caring whether I was rewarded
which was a major breakthrough in itself
the job was a pure masterpiece. Working on it, I realized in my guts how an artist or an author can get high on the creative act. The poker who wrote Precipice's original tapeworm was pretty good, but you could theoretically have killed it without shutting down the net
that is, at the cost of losing thirty or forty billion bits of data. Which I gather they were just about prepared to do when I showed up. But mine ... Ho, no! That, I cross my heart, cannot be killed without DISMANTLING the net. — John Brunner

Computer Programming Quotes By Roy Osherove

Tests are stories we tell the next generation of programmers on a project. — Roy Osherove

Computer Programming Quotes By George Gilder

Bandwidth grows at least three times faster than computer power. — George Gilder

Computer Programming Quotes By Roger Schank

There is one very good reason to learn programming, but it has nothing to do with preparing for high-tech careers or with making sure one is computer literate in order to avoid being cynically manipulated by the computers of the future. The real value of learning to program can only be understood if we look at learning to program as an exercise of the intellect, as a kind of modern-day Latin that we learn to sharpen our minds. — Roger Schank

Computer Programming Quotes By Seymour Papert

BASIC is to computer programming as QWERTY is to typing. — Seymour Papert

Computer Programming Quotes By Emilie Du Chatelet

If I were king, I would redress an abuse which cuts back, as it were, one half of human kind. I would have women participate in all human rights, especially those of the mind. — Emilie Du Chatelet

Computer Programming Quotes By Marijn Haverbeke

Functions that create values are easier to combine in new ways than functions that directly perform side effects — Marijn Haverbeke

Computer Programming Quotes By Jay A. Block

For example, suppose you are seeking a job as a retail manager. You might bring added value by being fluent in English, Spanish, and French. Being trilingual may not be part of the job description but can be a valuable asset when working with diverse employees and customers who speak Spanish and French. This Value-Added message may tip the scale in your favor. Possibly you are seeking a job as a fifth grade teacher. If you are an expert in computers and computer programming, these skills may not be part of the job description but might be perceived as having high value to an academic institution. If you are an expert electrician, but you are also highly skilled in sales, this added value of contributing to new business development efforts might be the differentiator, the added skill that will help you land a job quickly in tough markets. — Jay A. Block

Computer Programming Quotes By Jean Jennings Bartik

I later became more interested in equal rights for women in the work place because of what was happening at IBM. One of the women at Remington Rand had previously been a system service girl for IBM during the war. After a system was installed, a system service girl would go out and show the users how it worked. She was the liaison between the users and the computer company. She was married and had been fired to make room for a returning veteran. When the war ended, IBM rehired all of its former employees who had left to join the military, then fired all of the married women with jobs that could be filled by men. — Jean Jennings Bartik

Computer Programming Quotes By Robin Sloan

Programming is not all the same. Normal written languages have different rhythms and idioms, right? Well, so do programming languages. The language called C is all harsh imperatives, almost raw computer-speak. The language called Lisp is like one long, looping sentence, full of subclauses, so long in fact that you usually forget what it was even about in the first place. The language called Erlang is just like it sounds: eccentric and Scandinavian. — Robin Sloan

Computer Programming Quotes By Shawn Fanning

If you think about computer programming, it's as antisocial as it gets. — Shawn Fanning

Computer Programming Quotes By Kent Beck

Optimism is an occupational hazard of programming; feedback is the treatment. — Kent Beck

Computer Programming Quotes By Benjamin C. Pierce

Q: Why bother doing proofs about programming languages? They are almost always boring if the definitions are right.
A: The definitions are almost always wrong.

- Anonymous — Benjamin C. Pierce

Computer Programming Quotes By Orson Scott Card

Learn from them, because I will always be there, one step ahead of you, programming more difficult and advanced patterns into the computer so that your next battle is more difficult, so that you are pushed — Orson Scott Card

Computer Programming Quotes By Edward Allen Bernero

Every time someone does a Western movie, people flock to it. It's like, we're continually programming to people who are least likely to watch us. People in Nebraska aren't watching things on the computer, they're watching television. Why aren't we programming things for them? We only program things that appeal to New York and Los Angeles and in many ways spit on the rest of the country. — Edward Allen Bernero

Computer Programming Quotes By Alan Kay

Simple things should be simple, complex things should be possible. — Alan Kay

Computer Programming Quotes By Frederick Lenz

Follow your dreams wherever they lead you and pay for those dreams with good jobs in software programming and computer design! — Frederick Lenz

Computer Programming Quotes By JWoww

I graduated from college with a 3.92 GPA with a degree in computer programming and a BFA in fine arts and animation. My first job was painting a mural in the Grimaldi's in Queens. — JWoww

Computer Programming Quotes By Marc Wallice

I'm thinking of going to programming school. Learn how to sit down at any computer and learn to do anything on it. That's all I have left and have interest in. — Marc Wallice

Computer Programming Quotes By Charles Petzold

Code is not like other how-computers-work books. It doesn't have big color illustrations of disk drives with arrows showing how the data sweeps into the computer. Code has no drawings of trains carrying a cargo of zeros and ones. Metaphors and similes are wonderful literary devices but they do nothing but obscure the beauty of technology. — Charles Petzold

Computer Programming Quotes By David Gelernter

Beauty is more important in computing than anywhere else in technology because software is so complicated. Beauty is the ultimate defense against complexity ... The geniuses of the computer field, on the the other hand, are the people with the keenest aesthetic senses, the ones who are capable of creating beauty. Beauty is decisive at every level: the most important interfaces, the most important programming languages, the winning algorithms are the beautiful ones. — David Gelernter

Computer Programming Quotes By Marijn Haverbeke

It has to become second nature, for a programmer, to notice when a concept is begging to be abstracted into a new word. — Marijn Haverbeke

Computer Programming Quotes By Sam L. Savage

The five stages of model development. - Donald Knuth, Stanford computer scientist Knuth discovered that computer program development goes through five stages. These steps also apply to building models, and I rigorously adhere to them in my consulting work. 1. Decide what you want the model to do. 2. Decide how to build the model. 3. Build the model. 4. Debug the model. 5. Trash stages 1 through 4 and start again, now that you know what you really wanted in the first place. Once you realize that step 5 is inevitable, you become more willing to discard bad models early rather than continually to patch them up. In fact, I recommend getting to step 5 many times by building an evolving set of prototypes. This is consistent with an emerging style of system development known as Extreme Programming.2 To get a large model to work you must start with a small model that works, not a large model that doesn't work. - Alan Manne, Stanford energy economist — Sam L. Savage

Computer Programming Quotes By Mitchel Resnick

Computer programming has been traditionally seen as something that is beyond most people - it's only for a special group with technical expertise and experience. We have developed 'Scratch' as a new type of programming language, which is much more accessible. — Mitchel Resnick

Computer Programming Quotes By Karl Lehenbauer

Voodoo Programming: Things programmers do that they know shouldn't work but they try anyway, and which sometimes actually work, such as recompiling everything. — Karl Lehenbauer

Computer Programming Quotes By Larry Ellison

What is Oracle? A bunch of people. And all of our products were just ideas in the heads of those people - ideas that people typed into a computer, tested, and that turned out to be the best idea for a database or for a programming language. — Larry Ellison

Computer Programming Quotes By Kenneth E. Iverson

With the computer and programming languages, mathematics has newly-acquired tools, and its notation should be reviewed in the light of them. The computer may, in effect, be used as a patient, precise, and knowledgeable "native speaker" of mathematical notation. — Kenneth E. Iverson

Computer Programming Quotes By Stuart Armstrong

[A]s a species, we are very poor at programming. Our brains are built to understand other humans, not computers. We're terrible at forcing our minds into the precise modes of thought needed to interact with a computer, and we consistently make errors when we try. That's why computer science and programming degrees take such time and dedication to acquire: we are literally learning how to speak to an alien mind, of a kind that has not existed on Earth until very recently. — Stuart Armstrong

Computer Programming Quotes By Newton Lee

In William Shakespeare's Hamlet, "to be, or not to be, that is the question." In the 21st century, "to code, or not to code, that is the challenge. — Newton Lee

Computer Programming Quotes By Sarah Parcak

If you really want to be a good archaeologist, you have to understand ancient DNA; you have to understand chemical analysis to figure out the composition of ancient pots. You have to be able to study human remains. You need to be able to do computer processing and, in some cases, computer programming. — Sarah Parcak

Computer Programming Quotes By Donald Knuth

Programming is the art of telling another human being what one wants the computer to do. — Donald Knuth

Computer Programming Quotes By Edsger Dijkstra

When we had no computers, we had no programming problem either. When we had a few computers, we had a mild programming problem. Confronted with machines a million times as powerful, we are faced with a gigantic programming problem. — Edsger Dijkstra

Computer Programming Quotes By Mitchel Resnick

With 'Scratch,' you create computer programs by snapping together graphical programming blocks, much like LEGO bricks, without any of the obscure syntax and punctuation of traditional programming languages. After creating an interactive 'Scratch' project, you can share it on the 'Scratch' website, just as you would share videos on YouTube. — Mitchel Resnick

Computer Programming Quotes By Marijn Haverbeke

In the happy land of elegant code and pretty rainbows, there lives a spoil-sport monster called inefficiency. — Marijn Haverbeke

Computer Programming Quotes By Arthur Bloch

A computer program does what you tell it to do, not what you want it to do. — Arthur Bloch

Computer Programming Quotes By Donald Knuth

For his major contributions to the analysis of algorithms and the design of programming languages, and in particular for his contributions to the "art of computer programming" through his well-known books in a continuous series by this title. — Donald Knuth

Computer Programming Quotes By Miran Lipovaca

While functions being unable to change state is good because it helps us reason about our programs, there's one problem with that. If a function can't change anything in the world, how is it supposed to tell us what it calculated? In order to tell us what it calculated, it has to change the state of an output device (usually the state of the screen), which then emits photons that travel to our brain and change the state of our mind, man. — Miran Lipovaca

Computer Programming Quotes By Michio Kaku

Now, we used to think the brain was like a computer. But now, we realize that's not true. There's no programming of the brain. There's no Windows. And we think the brain is more like a large corporation. Because think of the unconscious mind. In a corporation, you have subdivisions which operate independently of the main office. — Michio Kaku

Computer Programming Quotes By Marvin Minsky

A computer is like a violin. You can imagine a novice trying first a phonograph and then a violin. The latter, he says, sounds terrible. That is the argument we have heard from our humanists and most of our computer scientists. Computer programs are good, they say, for particular purposes, but they aren't flexible. Neither is a violin, or a typewriter, until you learn how to use it. — Marvin Minsky

Computer Programming Quotes By Lewis Mumford

The life-efficiency and adaptability of the computer must be questioned. Its judicious use depends upon the availability of its human employers quite literally to keep their own heads, not merely to scrutinize the programming but to reserve for themselves the right of ultimate decision. No automatic system can be intelligently run byautomatonsor by people who dare not assert human intuition, human autonomy, human purpose. — Lewis Mumford

Computer Programming Quotes By Mike Thompson

I have always been making art from an early age but for nearly forty years did computer programming to earn a living. I bought a house and put my wife and three children through college. Now that diversion is over so I can finally paint full time. — Mike Thompson

Computer Programming Quotes By Masi Oka

I've been programming computers since elementary school, where they taught us, and I stuck with computer science through high school and college. — Masi Oka

Computer Programming Quotes By Charles Petzold

Owning a computer without programming is like having a kitchen and using only the microwave oven — Charles Petzold

Computer Programming Quotes By Iain Banks

In theory, I work an eight-hour day and a five-day week which means I can socialise with my pals who mostly have normal jobs like teaching and computer programming. — Iain Banks

Computer Programming Quotes By Donald A. Norman

Computer scientists have so far worked on developing powerful programming languages that make it possible to solve the technical problems of computation. Little effort has gone toward devising the languages of interaction. — Donald A. Norman

Computer Programming Quotes By Walter Mosley

I think that computer programming shows in my writing. Often when I write about computer programmers I'll write about the way that they see the world and they structure the world. — Walter Mosley

Computer Programming Quotes By Douglas Adams

I have a well-deserved reputation for being something of a gadget freak, and am rarely happier than when spending an entire day programming my computer to perform automatically a task that would otherwise take me a good ten seconds to do by hand. — Douglas Adams

Computer Programming Quotes By Stephen Hawking

Whether you want to uncover the secrets of the universe, or you just want to pursue a career in the 21st century, basic computer programming is an essential skill to learn — Stephen Hawking

Computer Programming Quotes By Aaron Koblin

As a kid, I was always into art at the same time as computers, and eventually I realised I was making more interesting stuff with my keyboard than with my hands. I really enjoyed modifying computer games more than playing them, so that got me into programming. — Aaron Koblin

Computer Programming Quotes By Marvin Ammori

The Startup Act should give all Americans, not just immigrants, a better shot at being tomorrow's engineers and entrepreneurs. And that opportunity could begin at a young age with education in computer programming. — Marvin Ammori

Computer Programming Quotes By Robert C. Martin

The LSP makes clear that in OOD the ISA relationship pertains to behavior. Not intrinsic private behavior, but extrinsic public behavior; behavior that clients depend upon. — Robert C. Martin

Computer Programming Quotes By Anonymous

The most successful computer programmers aren't the ones who approach programming as a task they have to carry out in order to get their paychecks. They're the ones for whom programming is a joyful game. — Anonymous

Computer Programming Quotes By Maya Lin

I loved logic, math, computer programming. I loved systems and logic approaches. And so I just figured architecture is this perfect combination. — Maya Lin

Computer Programming Quotes By Charles Stross

Old Enochian running on neural wetware is not the fastest procedural language ever invented, and it's semantics make AppleScript look like a thing of elegance and beauty — Charles Stross

Computer Programming Quotes By Graham Moore

When I was a teenager, I was a huge computer nerd. I went to computer programming camp. I went to space camp. — Graham Moore

Computer Programming Quotes By Peter Van Der Linden

When the ANSI C standard was under development, the pragma directive was introduced. Borrowed from Ada, #pragma is used to convey hints to the compiler, such as the desire to expand a particular function in-line or suppress range checks. Not previously seen in C, pragma met with some initial resistance from a gcc implementor, who took the "implementation-defined" effect very literally - in gcc version 1.34, the use of pragma causes the compiler to stop compiling and launch a computer game instead! The gcc manual contained the following: The "#pragma" command is specified in the ANSI standard to have an arbitrary implementation-defined effect. In the GNU C preprocessor, "#pragma" first attempts to run the game "rogue"; if that fails, it tries to run the game "hack"; if that fails, it tries to run GNU Emacs displaying the Tower of Hanoi; if that fails, it reports a fatal error. In any case, preprocessing does not continue. - Manual for version 1.34 of the GNU C compiler — Peter Van Der Linden

Computer Programming Quotes By Tony Hoare

What is the central core of the subject [computer science]? What is it that distinguishes it from the separate subjects with which it is related? What is the linking thread which gathers these disparate branches into a single discipline. My answer to these questions is simple -it is the art of programming a computer. It is the art of designing efficient and elegant methods of getting a computer to solve problems, theoretical or practical, small or large, simple or complex. It is the art of translating this design into an effective and accurate computer program. — Tony Hoare

Computer Programming Quotes By Seymour Papert

We often treat children as if they're not very competent to do anything on their own. So we make them stop learning in a natural way - by exploring. Logo [the computer programming language ] allows them to find their way around the computer, as they would find their way around the house, uncontaminated by the bureaucracies of schools. — Seymour Papert

Computer Programming Quotes By Bill Gates

In a budget, how important is art versus music versus athletics versus computer programming? At the end of the day, some of those trade-offs will be made politically. — Bill Gates

Computer Programming Quotes By Clara Shih

Only in high school when I began programming computers, did I become interested in tech and start-ups, which led me to attend Stanford and major in Computer Science. — Clara Shih

Computer Programming Quotes By Herbert Schildt

C gives the programmer what the programmer wants; few restrictions, few complaints... C++ maintains the original spirit of C, that the programmer not the language is in charge. — Herbert Schildt

Computer Programming Quotes By Mikito Takada

Distributed programming is the art of solving the same problem that you can solve on a single computer using multiple computers. — Mikito Takada

Computer Programming Quotes By Donald Knuth

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. — Donald Knuth

Computer Programming Quotes By Hal Abelson

A powerful programming language is more than just a means for instructing a computer to perform tasks. The language also serves as a framework within which we organize our ideas about processes. — Hal Abelson

Computer Programming Quotes By Susan Wojcicki

Learning to code makes kids feel empowered, creative, and confident. If we want our young women to retain these traits into adulthood, a great option is to expose them to computer programming in their youth. — Susan Wojcicki

Computer Programming Quotes By Bill Gates

If you think you're a really good programmer ... read Knuth's Art of Computer Programming ... You should definitely send me a resume if you can read the whole thing. — Bill Gates

Computer Programming Quotes By Joseph Weizenbaum

The computer programmer is a creator of universes for which he alone is the lawgiver. No playwright, no stage director, no emperor, however powerful, has ever exercised such absolute authority to arrange a stage or field of battle and to command such unswervingly dutiful actors or troops. — Joseph Weizenbaum

Computer Programming Quotes By Brian Kernighan

Controlling complexity is the essence of computer programming. — Brian Kernighan

Computer Programming Quotes By Homer

Internet! Is that thing still around? — Homer

Computer Programming Quotes By Cordelia Fine

An interest in Star Trek and an antisocial lifestyle may not, in fact, be unassailable correlates of talent in computer programming. — Cordelia Fine

Computer Programming Quotes By Anonymous

Eventually, after you have planned the whole thing, you will have many, many steps, but they will be organized into a hierarchy of sorts, as shown in Figure5-1. In this drawing, the three dots represent places where other steps go, but we chose to leave them off so that the diagram can fit on the page. This type of design is a top-down design. The idea is that you start at the uppermost step of your design (in this case, "Build flying saucer") and continue to break the steps into more and more detailed steps until you have something manageable. For many years, this was how computer programming was taught. Although this process works, people have found a slightly better way. First, before breaking the steps (which are the verbs), you divide the thing you're building into parts (the nouns). In this case, you kind of do that already, in the first two steps. But instead of calling them steps, you can call them objects — Anonymous

Computer Programming Quotes By Yukihiro Matsumoto

Often people, especially computer engineers, focus on the machines. But in fact we need to focus on humans, on how humans care about doing programming or operating the application of the machines. — Yukihiro Matsumoto

Computer Programming Quotes By Richard P. Feynman

What I can't create I don't understand — Richard P. Feynman

Computer Programming Quotes By T. Harv Eker

Your programming leads to your thoughts; your thoughts lead to your feelings; your feelings lead to your actions; your actions leads to your results. Therefore, just as is done with a personal computer, by changing your programming, you take the first essential step to changing your results. — T. Harv Eker

Computer Programming Quotes By Gene Luen Yang

I wanted to make an explicitly educational comic that taught readers the concepts I covered in my introductory programming class. That's what 'Secret Coders' is. It's both a fun story about a group of tweens who discover a secret coding school, and an explanation of some foundational ideas in computer science. — Gene Luen Yang

Computer Programming Quotes By Charles Simonyi

XML is not a language in the sense of a programming language any more than sketches on a napkin are a language. — Charles Simonyi

Computer Programming Quotes By Conan O'Brien

This week Apple stores are holding free computer programming classes for children. Or as that's called in China, a job fair. — Conan O'Brien

Computer Programming Quotes By John Maeda

There is a construct in computer programming called 'the infinite loop' which enables a computer to do what no other physical machine can do - to operate in perpetuity without tiring. In the same way it doesn't know exhaustion, it doesn't know when it's wrong and it can keep doing the wrong thing over and over without tiring. — John Maeda

Computer Programming Quotes By Larry Wall

Many computer scientists have fallen into the trap of trying to define languages like George Orwell's Newspeak, in which it is impossible to think bad thoughts. What they end up doing is killing the creativity of programming. — Larry Wall

Computer Programming Quotes By Douglas Adams

I am rarely happier than when spending an entire day programming my computer ... — Douglas Adams

Computer Programming Quotes By Larry Wall

Computer programming is really a lot like writing a recipe. If you've read a recipe, you know what the structure of a recipe is, it's got some things up at the top that are your ingredients, and below that, the directions for how to deal with those ingredients. — Larry Wall

Computer Programming Quotes By Roy Osherove

If you are too lazy to cleanup your database after testing, your filesystem after testing or your memory based system consider moving to a different profession. This isn't a job for you. — Roy Osherove

Computer Programming Quotes By Richard Stallman

With software there are only two possibilites: either the users control the programme or the programme controls the users. If the programme controls the users, and the developer controls the programme, then the programme is an instrument of unjust power. — Richard Stallman

Computer Programming Quotes By Seymour Papert

I was really looking at computers as a way to understand the mind. But at M.I.T., my mind was blown by having a whole computer to yourself as long as you liked.I felt a surge of intellectual power through access to this computer, and I started thinking about what this could mean for kids and the way they learn. That's when we developed the computer programming language for kids, Logo. — Seymour Papert

Computer Programming Quotes By Vince Clarke

I used to do all my programming on a BBC computer. It was limited to 16 tracks, and you used the keyboard, not a mouse, to input, but I was using it so long, I got quite fast at it. — Vince Clarke

Computer Programming Quotes By Walter Isaacson

This entailed switching around by hand ENIAC's rat's nest of cables and resetting its switches. At first the programming seemed to be a routine, perhaps even menial task, which may have been why it was relegated to women, who back then were not encouraged to become engineers. But what the women of ENIAC soon showed, and the men later came to understand, was that the programming of a computer could be just as significant as the design of its hardware. — Walter Isaacson
