The important thing, once you have enough to eat and a nice house, is what you can do for others, what you can contribute to the enterprise as a whole.

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.

AI has by now succeeded in doing essentially everything that requires 'thinking' but has failed to do most of what people and animals do 'without thinking'-that, somehow, is much harder.

Science is what we understand well enough to explain to a computer. Art is everything else we do.

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

Everyday life is like programming, I guess. If you love something you can put beauty into it.
