技术当然很重要,但有些东西更重要。我感觉下来,大致的顺序是:

After three days without programming, life becomes meaningless.
Turing:
I don’t know whether I am Turing dreaming that I am a machine, or a machine dreaming that I am Turing!
He has gone beyond the need for testing; each of his programs are perfect within themselves, serene and elegant, their purpose self-evident.
When the program is being tested, it is too late to make design changes.
A master programmer to a novice programmer:
What is appropriate for the master is not appropriate for the novice. You must understand Tao before transcending structure.
A well-written program is its own heaven; a poorly-written program its own hell.
Though a program be but three lines long, someday it will have to be maintained.
Let the programmers be many and the managers few — then all will be productive.
So the manager said: “All right, in that case you may set your own working hours, as long as you finish your projects on schedule.” The programmers, now satisfied, began to come in at noon and work until the wee hours of the morning.
You can demonstrate a program for an executive, but you can’t make him computer literate.
The novice programmer stares in wonder at the bird, for he understands it not. The average programmer dreads the coming of the bird, for he fears its message. The master programmer continues to work at his terminal, for he does not know that the bird has come and gone.
Without the wind, the grass does not move. Without software, hardware is useless.
By not seeking to strive, it conquers without effort.
Time for you to leave.
