Programs are meant to be read by humans and only incidentally for computers to execute.

People think that computer science is the art of geniuses but the actual reality is the opposite, just many people doing things that build on each other, like a wall of mini stones.

We should continually be striving to transform every art into a science: in the process, we advance the art.

Always remember, however, that there’s usually a simpler and better way to do something than the first way that pops into your head.
