A collection of my favorites quotes, including my own.
Programs must be written for people to read, and only incidentally for machines to execute. |
Hoe ga ik dit nu programmeren zonder na te denken? |
Translation: How am I going to program this without thinking?
Programmeer zo dat je code als poezie leest. |
Translation: do program in such a way that your code reads like poetry.
Fools ignore complexity. Pragmatists suffer it. Some can avoid it. Geniuses remove it. |
Programmeer zo dat je ook dronken je code zou kunnen onderhouden. |
Translation: do program in such a way that you would also be able to maintain your code when drunk.
If you lie to the compiler, it will get its revenge. |
Eerst is de compiler je vijand, vervolgens je vriend, vervolgens je vriendin. |
Translation: at first, your compiler is your enemy, later it becomes your friend and later it becomes your girlfriend.
Van mijn std::vector bestaat deze index zeker. |
Translation: I am really sure that this is a valid index in my std::vector
Waarom zou ik een array gebruiken? Ik pak gewoon een StringGrid die ik onzichtbaar maak. |
Translation: Why would I want to use an array? I just use a StringGrid and make it invisible.
Hoe beter je iets geprogrammeerd hebt, hoe saaier het is om je code te lezen. |
Translation: the better you've programmed something, the more boring it is to read your code.
If I did your homework for you, then you might pass your class without learning how to write a program like this. Then you might graduate and get your degree without learning how to write a program like this. You might become a professional programmer without knowing how to write a program like this. Someday you might work on a project with me without knowing how to write a program like this. Then I would have to do you serious bodily harm. |
From C++ FAQ Lite item 5.2: 'How do I get other people to do my homework problem for me?'.
'It just works' == 'It does something' |
