Software gets slower faster than hardware gets faster.

Programming is usually taught by examples.

Nevertheless, I consider OOP as an aspect of programming in the large; that is, as an aspect that logically follows programming in the small and requires sound knowledge of procedural programming.

A primary cause of complexity is that software vendors uncritically adopt almost any feature that users want.

Clearly, programming courses should teach methods of design and construction, and the selected examples should be such that a gradual development can be nicely demonstrated.

Software is getting slower more rapidly than hardware becomes faster.

The idea that one might derive satisfaction from his or her successful work, because that work is ingenious, beautiful, or just pleasing, has become ridiculed.
